- There is an autoimmune condition, known as alopecia areata, which can attack hair follicles. This disorder causes pigmented hair such as black, brown, red, or blonde to fall out, completely leaving the gray and white non-pigmented hairs. Because stress is a factor in autoimmune diseases, it can trigger the disorder, making a person appear as if their hair turned completely white ‘overnight’.
