Rumor Refutation：Will Plucking White Hairs Cause Them to Grow Back More?

Rumor :Pulling out more white hair will cause more and more.

/✗:This is a wrong statement

Normal hair appears black due to the presence of melanin and melanin granules, while white hair lacks melanin granules, not because it contains white pigment granules.

When a white hair is pulled out, only the hair strand is removed, and the hair follicle of the white hair remains intact. Therefore, in general, the newly grown hair will still be white.Pulling out one white hair will not cause a cluster of white hairs to grow.

So, pulling out white hairs will not make them grow more.

Is it safe to use hair dye to cover white hairs?

Hair dye is a commonly used cosmetic among people with white hair, but it can cause dye-induced dermatitis and should be used with caution.
Although there is no definitive conclusion on whether hair dyes cause cancer, they are chemicals and do pose potential risks such as allergies.

Since the scalp is closest to the brain, frequent exposure to chemicals can harm other organs, especially for people with weakened immune systems who should avoid dyeing their hair.
