Hair color change syndrome named the most beautiful woman in Europe

Wearing Marie Antoinette syndrome - the name of the 18th-century French queen, the patient may lose her hair after just one night.

Many historians say Marie Antoinette simply ran out of dye, but Henriette Campan, the servant of the queen lost her throne, affirming that her pain was dyed with white hair . Becoming a symbol of the French Revolution, the change in the sudden appearance of Marie Antoinette left such a strong impression that her name was given to the strange disease that caused the hair to lose color.

According to Atlantic, Marie Antoinette syndrome or canities subita refers to the condition of white hair after just one night due to shock, big loss or life-threatening situation. The 2013 study of the Journal of Trichology shows that from the 1800s to the modern day, there were 84 cases of "silver hair quickly". Of these, 14 were witnessed by doctors.

Before the Queen of France, Queen Scotland Mary also suffered from hair loss before going to the guillotine in 1587 at the age of 44. Holding the head of the queen in front of the crowd, the executioner slipped her headscarf to reveal the part. White hair.

During World War II, many documents showed that survivors of bombings often suffered headaches. In 1957, a 63-year-old man fell into a similar situation after a few weeks of falling stairs. In 1982, having a motive for driving an airplane from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, Captain Eric Moody's hair was completely gray for a year.

Until now, the scientific community has not been able to determine the cause of sudden white hair phenomenon . According to BBC, the most appropriate explanation is that stress stimulates the immune system , shedding pigmented hair and leaving silver fibers. Another possibility is that stress strikes directly into the pigment production system so that colored hair doesn't grow out anymore. In 2011, after testing on mice, the work led by Robert Lefkowitz concluded that chronic stress damaged DNA leading to hair gray.

In fact, the study of Marie Antoinette syndrome is extremely difficult because of threatening and shocking situations not only rare but also unpredictable. Although many theories have emerged, Marie Antoinette's syndrome is ultimately a puzzle for humanity.
