    Have any other addicts suffered from early-onset gray/grey hair? And have any of you managed to reverse the process following your rehab?

    Before acknowledging that I had a sexual Internet addiction, I attributed the grey hairs I was getting to coffee, stress, sugar ... Whilst it is true that there are countless theories for this condition out there, bearing in mind the effect PMO can have on one's life, could this not be yet another negative effect?

    Wishful thinking I am afraid. There is no correlation between porn usage and grey hair.

    Is there a link between coffee consumption and grey hair?

    I don't know about coffee, but I remember reading somewhere that there is a correlation between stress and grey hair. Don't remember where I read it though.

    Cesar is right!
    I have seen people turned with grey hair through one night from stress! Somehow, I suppose (I am not a doctor) it has to do with cortisol levels. High cortisol levels produces anxieties, stress etc and kills brain cells. Cortisol levels are high especially in the morning because it helps us to get up and face the day. It makes us more alert! The coffee do the same thing. Makes us more alert, even nervous! So, my opinion is that coffee can increase cortisol, especially when someone has already high levels of it. If I drink coffee in the afternoon, I cannot sleep easily. I need to relax my nervous system, to reduce my cortisol levels.

    I am in your boat. I'm 25 and suffer from some premature grey hair.

    I am on day 14 of nofap to see if I can reverse his.

    I am also taking Vitamin b12/zinc/copper and biotin supplements as this benefits hair.

    If I see any progress I will let you know.

    I don't drink coffee or sugary drinks or anyhing like that so I guess I rule that our for my reason. I genuinly can only think of masterbating everyday for 13 years is the cause.

    Good luck.

    Yes there is correlation between stress and grey hair.

    But you forgot most important thing about hair: genetics. Ask your father, grandfather when and where they got grey/bold and it is very highly probable that you will too at that time.

    Both my grandfathers had full head of hair and didn't grey till 40/50s same with my father. My brother doesn't suffer from greying hair. I honestly thinks it's due to depleting vital nutrients in my body from masterbating and being underweight for large part of my life. I started greying at 20 also, that's too young!

    Yes, there is a relation between stress and grey hair.
    I developed 75% of my grey hair in an extreme stress situation during two months.
    The process didn't reverse and didn't accelerate much since then.
    It is five years now.

    So stop any stress in your life.
    When you feel negative stress try to stop instantly and find a solution.
    Nothing is worth to be accomplished through stress, anxiety and angryness.

    Certain rumours say that the consumption of blackstrap molasses can reverse grey hair...
    I never tried that...

    Thanks for your advise. I'm currently taking vitamins and minerals and doing nofap to reverse my greys. I tried black strap molasses for a week and it was so disgusting I was almost sick. Had to take it with yogurt or fresh cream. I think grey hair is a sign of nutritional imbalance and its no secret that fapping excessively removes vital minerals from our bodies.
