The mystery of hair that turns grey overnight

Hair gains its color from two kinds of melanin pigment; one is eumelanin that determines how dark the hair is, and second is pheomelanin that dictates how red or yellow it is. When one ages, the cells that produce these pigments in hair follicles stop functioning and result in colour-less hair. Everyone gets obsessed with white hair. But what about the hair that turns white overnight? Canities Subita is the term used for hair turning white overnight. The world considers this as myth but the International Journal of Trichology conducted study in 2013 and found 84 reports of speedy adult hair blanching between 1800 and the present day. As mentioned at www.theatlantic.com, Michael Nahm (who was the lead author of the 2013 study) says that “All these accounts support the notion that sudden whitening does indeed happen. Although we still don’t know how exactly it occurs. It remains an under-investigated phenomenon”.

Experts say that it is the stress and troubles that are responsible for whiten hair. It has nothing to do with the age. In other words, one can get white hair even in young of age. French nobleman Pierre de Bourdeille told about French Queen Marie Antoinette whose hair turned white the night before her execution. He said “It was not old age that had turned it white. But the troubles, misfortunes, and sorrows which she had suffered, especially in her prison.” She was killed in 1587 at age 44 and her executioner showed her head to the crowd, and revealed her short-cropped white hair. The nobleman statement is worth mentioning here “Psychosocial stress can’t affect the hair fiber that’s already formed. It can only affect the fibers as they are forming.”

The same thing happened with Captain Eric Moody whose hair turned white within six months of the incident when the four engines of his plane failed and he had to make emergency landing at Jakarta airport. Within a year the rest of his hair had done the same.

How does this happen is still not clear. Experts say that the same chemical used to bleach hair from bottles also turns hair greys. An enzyme called catalase break down hydrogen peroxide produced by Melanin-making cells. As we age, production of the enzyme drops and hydrogen peroxide built-up and block production of melanin.

Above-mentioned examples make clear that a severe shock or stress can trigger hair loss or hair pigment fall out. According to the BBC, it is necessary to examine the hair before and after a shocking incident in order to understand the hair-turn-to-grey story. It said “Life threatening situations are not only rare, but unpredictable and no ethics committee is going to let you induce a sufficiently terrifying experience in a lab volunteer”

FUE Hair Transplant

After hair transplantation, full hair grows takes some time like maximum 10 to 12 months

As you know that the human hair is likely to grow slowly (approximately 6 inches a year). But after transplantation the transplanted hairs often shed during the surgical procedure, it takes a year (or more) to reach the preferred length. Patience is the only way out and solution after transplantation. Remember that every patient is dissimilar and hair will start to develop at different times.

Sometime after transplantation, the patients will see some nice growth on one side of their head and not the other. This matter disturbs the patient and he concern and worry about his hairs but the fact is it is perfectly normal.

The procedure is assured for its best results and your transplanted hair is still growing to your optimal length. The last and most favorable result of hair transplant is observable within 1 year. After the transplant most of the patient will suffer shock hair loss but it will overcome with time and the hairs will grow after some months. The growing process is slowly and gradually.

Don’t panic and go to your doctor. He will prescribe the minoxidil treatment, because it is the best medicine to stop hair loss after the hair transplantation. If the surgical treatment has been done in the correct way so it will give you benefit in hair grow.  Usually 70-80% hair growth is expected at 6 months after a FUE procedure. But after one year you will still observe improvement and thickening in your hair.

Hair Transplant Surgery Guidelines for Youngsters

Male hair pattern baldness is becoming quite common amongst all groups of people. But it has become a common problem amongst youngsters which makes them look older than their age fellows and has led to making them quite conscious. This leaves them no choice but to opt for hair transplant surgery to look young as well as smart in order to boost their confidence.

Even though, many surgeons have a policy of not operating patients under the age of 25 but such policy should not be implemented as young patients are highly motivated and are highly healthy due to lack of medications. However, few guidelines should be kept in mind for these youngsters while hair transplantation.

The first recommendation is to place the hairline much higher than what the patient requirements. It should be 9 centimetres above the eye brows. This would protect the giver hair for later in case, another surgery is needed later in life so there would be enough hair to serve as donors.

Secondly, a higher hairline gives a much more natural look as the patient ages it would look much suitable. Also, it is possible to lower the hairline but it is impossible to raise it once the surgery is performed.

Next, the transplantation should be done at the forehead at the start. This is because it is much easier to start from the front and move back as the hair start declining. If transplantation of hair is done at the crown in the start so it would become much difficult to use hair for surgery later in life and donor hair would become minimal.

Furthermore, a surgeon should be cautious while transplanting temporal angles. Although, temporal fringes flatten with age, a permanent one supplied by this surgery would look quite inappropriate as a person gets older.

Side by side, the surgeon must conduct proper tests of the patient in order to develop a clear idea regarding future hair loss. This would be quite helpful in the future and the donor hair should be saved accordingly.

The surgeon must select such a donor area that is safe and in the future is less likely to thin over time so it can be used in the later years as well for a similar surgery.  It is much easier to get a surgery at an early age using safe donor area and use the rest later in case of further issues. (Lam: 2014)

It would be much easier, if a young man gets a hair transplant surgery as it would be much more effective and he wouldn’t be much self-conscious and can live his life easily.
