Everyone gets stressed at some point in their life, and it can have detrimental affects on your being. A friend of mine had a wop of jet black hair, and after finding himself in an intensely stressful situation very early in his life, found his hair greying at an emmense rate. So much so that his whole head of hair had turned grey in a year or so. Another friend found himself fretting, about a career path he was starting on, stress set in very quickly. Even though he was only eighteen at the time his hair fell out in multitudes, leaving him with a sparse amount of hair. His hair never recovered, and he now is verging on baldness.
My wife was stressed during one of her pregnancies, and developed what the doctor called Alopecia, apparently it's quite common, and the doctor assured her it was treatable. She had lost hair to the back of her head. Luckily for her she had long hair and was able to cover the bald area by making a bun from the rest of her hair.
After a short while the hair begun to grow again on the affected area.
