Does plucking grey hair causes more to grow back - Truth or lie?

  • 4 min. read

It's been expected that on average, hair starts to go gray in their late 30's. When they start to show, the temptation to take out the tweezers is real. But most people believe that if you pluck a gray hair, more will grow back. Many hair experts around the world say that it is a myth and it probably comes from people's natural increase in the number of gray hair as they age.


Our hair follicles produce less melanin as we age, the pigment-producing cells in each follicle. So a new gray hair will grow in its place if you pull a gray hair. It has no effect on surrounding hair since each follicle has its own set of genetics.


But still, specialist hair doctors suggest that you should avoid pulling them as if you pull a hair occasionally, it’s not going to do much damage, but If you pull that hair every time it regrows for the next 5 years, you may instead of having one gray hair, will be having a bald spot.

Illnesses that cause gray hair

Most of the people with gray hair have age-related graying. But, sometimes graying hair specifies an illness, especially if it occurs mainly at a young age. Health problems that may be the precursor of gray hair comprise of:


  • Deficiency of certain vitamins such as Vitamin B 12
  • Thyroid disease
  • Smoking can also cause premature graying.
  • Neurofibromatosis, a type of inherited disease that causes tumors to grow along nerves and abnormal development of the bones and skin.
  • Tuberous sclerosis: an uncommon, inherited condition that causes benign tumors in multiple organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, lungs, eyes, and skin.
  • Vitiligo, a condition that causes melanocytes to be lost or destroyed due to the immune system fails and attacks the scalp rather than an infection.
  • Alopecia areata: a disorder in which patches of hair may be suddenly lost, especially the non-gray hair. This can turn your hair gray overnight because formerly present gray or white hair suddenly become more noticeable. Colored hair may eventually return which may be white or gray.
  • Some research also links premature graying to heart disease and low bone mass, but how these conditions relate to hair graying is uncertain.

The bottom line

When and how comprehensively your hair turns gray is subjective mostly by the genes you inherit from your parents. For those who have plucked those irritating gray hair from your head, researchers say that you don’t have to fear that they are coming back or stop hair regrowth.

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
