   makes hair turn white,

   Scientists discover 'why stress turns hair white'   
      
   Scientists say they may have discovered why stress makes hair turn   
   white, and a potential way of stopping it happening without reaching   
   for the dye.   
      
   In experiments on mice, stem cells that control skin and hair colour   
   became damaged after intense stress.   
      
   In a chance finding, dark-furred mice turned completely white within   
   weeks.   
      
   The US and Brazilian researchers said this avenue was worth exploring   
   further to develop a drug that prevents hair colour loss from ageing.   
      
   Men and women can go grey any time from their mid-30s, with the timing   
   of parental hair colour change giving most of the clues on when.   
      
   Although it's mostly down to the natural ageing process and genes,   
   stress can also play a role.
