Depends on what kind of hair you’re plucking. If it’s the hair on your head, then don’t do it. Because if you pluck your head-hair it doesn’t grow back like bodyhair. You will only go bald once you pluck your head hair. Trust me, I’ve seen this.

This is an old wifes tale it can be hereditary you can always use gray hair dye if you want to cover them.

Well if the top part of the strand is your regular color, once you pluck it out the strand will grow back but it will be all gray. If you leave it in, you will have some time before the whole strand turns gray. And if you are dead set on not having any gray, tell your stylist, they will be more than happy to add a little color.

I remember my first strand of gray hair at the age of 19, it was a very stressful year, but I’m not sure it contributed to my graying. I remember plucking it, now 3 years later I have gray hair everywhere, not like Richard Gere gray, but yeah.

noo, plucking hair do not increase the grey hairs it is an old wives tale as only 1 strand of hair can grow through 1 root. i am not sure if stress does cause grey hairs but either way stress isnt good and i dont think it is hereditary

If you pluck enough you will go bald…
Seriously, if you pluck grey hairs, you’ll have one less hair, that’s all

you pluck one. by the time that one is growing back, you have another turning gray. that’s how you get 2 growing back in it’s place.

think about it. does your gramma have twice as much hair as she used to? no. she probably has less hair than then, because we women tend to go thin in the hair and thick in the hips.

An old wives tale is that three more will grow back…simply NOT true (it it were, would there be ANY bald men???LOL!!!)…most likely, if you didn’t damage the root of the hair, it will eventually grow right back…..

If you pluck gray hairs or don’t pluck gray hairs you will still get more. It’s an ole wives tale about more growing back because of the plucking. Think about it. If you got some you will continue to get some plucking or not! Mostly it is hereditary and like pattern baldness (heaven forbid for us girls) there is nothing you can do about NOT getting them.
