Does plucking one grey hair make more grow? Doctor answers
We’ve all been there – staring in the mirror, carefully reaching for the silver strand glistening under the bathroom light, trying to pluck it. Dermatologist debunks the myth that plucking one grey hair leads to ten more. She explains that each hair follicle is independent and cannot trigger surrounding ones to produce more grey hairs. However, plucking can damage the follicle, potentially preventing hair from growing back at all.
