Some people have hair so pale that it wouldn't turn grey even from aging, it would just go directly to white, so I assume that these people could also have their hair turn white from stress/trauma. (I can understand how stress could cause new hair to grow out grey or whhite, but how does it cause hair that has already formed -- the stuff at the ends of a 8-inch strand, for example -- to change too?
