After a careful observation in the mirror, should we pluck out that annoying white hair that exceeds our mane or not?
If rumors circulate that pulling out one white hair causes ten more to grow, you should know that this is not the case at all. Since the hair follicle can only hold one hair, pulling out one white hair will not cause ten more hairs to grow.
However, pulling out a white hair doesn’t make you look younger either. In fact, it is a reflex that serves no purpose at all, as another white hair takes the place of the hair that was torn out. If the mane loses its color, it means that the irreversible process of hair formation has begun.
Ultimately, pulling out white hair is harmful to the scalp because it is an aggressive gesture. This reflexively produces more sebum (hello oily hair!) and also causes new white hair to grow that will be thicker and more visible next time.
The solution; Embrace this hair change and take responsibility for yourself, no matter how old you are!
