Actually, it can.
Stress can cause hair to turn gray or white over a period of weeks or months. The hair of young people contains the compound melanin, essential for hair color. Gray hair is hair that has lost some of its melanin (white hair has lost all of its melanin.) Stem cells called melanocytes are partially responsible for growing new hair. Though the connection between stress hormones and melanocytes is not fully known, stress hormones can trigger an aging process of the melanocytes. This can result in new hair with less melanin — gray hair.
If you want to remain brunette or sandy blond, get out of that bad relationship before it's too late.
