Supposed condition of hair unexpectedly turning white Marie Antoinette syndrome is an alleged condition of hair suddenly turning white. The name originates from folklore about the hair of Queen Marie Antoinette of France turning stark white after her capture following the unfortunate flight to Varennes throughout the French Transformation. According to the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), witnesses claimed that Antoinette's hair rapidly turned white on three occasions. [] [] An example of this syndrome, albeit imaginary, is from the Tokyo Ghoul manga, where the protagonist Ken Kaneki's hair turns white after being tortured for 10 days.
The syndrome has actually been hypothesized to be a version of alopecia areata diffusa or autoimmune non-scarring loss of hair that selectively impacts all pigmented hairs, leaving only the white hair behind. Marie Antoinette syndrome is brought on by high levels of psychological stress, which, in turn, causes less coloring of the hair. [] These form the basis of a lot of usages of the concept in fictional works.
The study concluded that over-activation of the supportive anxious system was triggering stem cells to stop producing pigment cells in hair roots. History [modify] The earliest enduring tape-recorded claim of sudden bleaching of the hair is represented in the Talmud, by a story of a Jewish scholar who, at the age of 17 years, established white hair locks due to overwork. [] From time to time, modern cases of sped up (though not abrupt) hair-whitening have been documented, similar to battle victims in the Second World War, [] and in a case covered in the medical journal Archives of Dermatology in 2009.
