Will The White Hair Really Grow More And More When You Pull It Out?

It is a natural phenomenon that hair turns white when people get old. But in addition to the elderly, many young people are also starting to grow white hair, and it is very obvious that a head of black hair is mixed with white hair. For the sake of beauty, many people want to pull out white hair, but there are always people around them who say that white hair cannot be pulled out because "pulling one will grow ten." So will the white hair really grow more and more when you pull it out?

The saying that the white hair grows more and more when you pull it out is not scientific, because hair grows from hair follicles, and its color is determined by the melanin secreted by the hair matrix cells in the hair follicles. If the amount of melanin is large and the density is high, the hair will be black, otherwise the color will be light. If you pull out the white hair, the hair follicle will still grow white hair, so there will be an illusion that "the more you pull out the white hair, the more you pull out."

But in fact, it does not increase the number of white hair, so the white hair will not grow more and more when you pull it out. However, although the white hair will not grow more and more when you pull it out, it is generally not recommended to pull out the white hair, because forcibly pulling out the white hair may damage the hair follicles, cause folliculitis, or affect the growth of healthy hair around it, causing hair loss, etc. If gray hair affects your appearance, you can use scissors to cut off the gray hair near the root. So is there any way to reduce the growth of gray hair?
