Yes -- Alopecia areata is a condition that targets the hair on your head that is not gray. It affects the strands that contain natural pigment. The condition causes the hair with color to fall out and leaves the gray hairs behind. So it's not that someone turned gray overnight; it's that he lost pigmented hair, making gray hair more prominent.
Alopecia areata can occur after a person has gone through a period of high stress such as the loss of a loved one or loss of job. So that's how someone's hair seems to turn gray overnight

Well... I live a life that tends to be terrorized by a family member's health condition. Whenever I am frightened beyond my wits, my hair is much MUCH whiter. I can PrOmIsE you, neither my pillow nor my sheets have strands of hair all over them. In fact, judging by the shower my hair falls out at the same rate.
AND I have found hair which is 1/2 white and 1/2 colored; the white portion of the hair shaft is at the end and the brown portion of the hair is at the root. Either that says I dyed that one hair white and it grew or I was scared beyond believe and then the incident was over. and the hair growth returned to normal.
Sorry Hoosiers! This woman with a BFA from UMass Dartmouth says differently. Have any of your researchers ever been scared Sh*tless?
