Stress and trauma (mental and/or physical) causes all kinds of issues with hair and nails as well since they're made from the same stuff as hair.
Stress/emotional upset can cause the cessation of nail growth, the loss of hair, and of course, the loss of pigmentation in the hair.
This is because the body's resources are accessed to be burned as fuel to survive whatever situation is being faced at the time. Unless these resources are purposely reintroduced into the body by foods and other nutrients, there will be a serious lag behind when it comes to hair and nails, and the consequences will be observable within months.
In the same token, when nutrients are replenished, it takes months to see positive effects from that process as well.
When discussing changes to hair and nails either for better or worse, you are dealing with a window of 6 months at the least before any effects are observed one way or the other.
