Is it true that prolonged sun exposure accelerates the greying of hair?
Unclear. Two reference sources indicate that UV radiation damages hair melanocytes and can accelerate hair greying, but neither provides a controlled study directly establishing that prolonged sun exposure accelerates greying; the Wikipedia entry attributes greying onset almost entirely to genetics.
