Remove one white hair two will grow in it's place?

Is it true if you remove one white hair that two will grow in its place?

What’s your source? With that reasoning, a balding person with white hair could reduce his/her baldness…

and what is the best way to prevent white hair (i am still very young) ?

it’s just an old saying i guess, it might have some truth to it but i want to know for sure. it’s a question that the great Cecil has yet to tackle!

Well, I’m only in my 30s and I already had quite a widow’s peak going as of several years ago. I’m convinced it happened because I saw a few white hairs and yanked them. Then a whole crop of white hairs grew in that place!

So…about a month ago I colored my hair. Now the white is no longer visible, though it is still there at the roots.

L’Oreal: That’s my solution (no pun intended).

we’ll im turning twenty soon and i have a significant amount of white hair. is it due to lack of nutrition? what can i do to combat this? hair coloring just doenst look real on alot of people and my hair is very very short.

the logic of this hydra-headed hoary hirsuteness (sorry…) seems to spring from the same source (wtf? nonpurposeful alliteration out the wazoo!) as the “hair grows quicker if you shave it” rumor.

for instance, vivalostwages head geared up to go grey. at first notice of this, viva plucked the hairs. however, the grrey plans were not to be foiled. so many more grey hairs grew in.

that’s an ass-guess, btw. not an expert by any means.

I don’t believe there is any treatment for hair turning grey. The pigment in everyone’s hair runs out over time, the exact point when determined mainly by heredity. You can blame your parents for this one. Nutrition, shampoos, etc really don’t have anything to do with it.

Hair turning grey and becoming bald are two different things, and seem completely unrelated.

If you pull out your follicles too, there won’t be any hair at all. Pluck at your hair for about 20 years of adulthood and see where it gets you.

The best way to prevent white hair is to color your hair every so often, preferably by a sensual blonde who is a knowledgeable and skilled color specialist.

do definately its false that if u pluck out a white hair two will not take it’s place?

errrr… so definately, i can’t edit my posts for some reason?

No, but you can “preview” them before final posting. I don’t always do it and rue that quite often.

Definitely, if you pull out one white hair two will not grow in its place.

To paraphrase humorist Robert Benchley, the only way to assure that your hair will not turn white, or gray, is to force your ancestors to not have white hair - at gunpoint if necessary.
