Grandma’s Myth: Plucking Grey Hairs – Pulling out grey hair will sprout more grey hair

Plucking out grey hair doesn't increase the possibility of more grey hair sprouting up. In fact it is only a myth and can be dismissed at that very point. However, this doesn't mean you pluck every grey hair because it damages hair roots and might cause an infection too.

Grandma’s Myth: Plucking Grey Hairs – Pulling out grey hair will sprout more grey hair


Question:  I have a lot of grey hair?  Should I pluck them out?  Will doing this sprout more grey hair?
