Why do white hairs grow more the more I pull them out

1. Will the more you pull out your white hair, the more it will appear?

After pulling the hair out from the roots, there will be a round, match-head-like particle at the root, which is the hair root. Outside of this round little head, there is a "hat" wrapped around the outside to protect this little head. It is called a hair follicle, which is the real root of the hair. Hair follicles grow in our scalp and are impossible for people to see, let alone pull out. The pigment that determines the pigment of hair is secreted by the hair matrix cells in the hair follicles. The hair follicles are very active, the cells at the bottom of the hair bulb divide vigorously, and the cells that are produced continuously move upward. When the soft keratin in the hair follicle changes into hard protein, the hair is pushed out of the skin, forming hair that is visible to the naked eye. The color of hair is determined by the material that "builds the house". The cells will produce hair of the desired color depending on the pigment it provides. This has nothing to do with the cell's own ability to divide. So there is no direct evidence that the more you pull out your white hair, the more white hair will appear.

2. Causes of white hair

Gray hair is caused by the reduction of melanin particles in the medulla and cortex of the hair or the filling of space with air. It is generally believed to be related to the following factors, such as mental factors, nutritional disorders, chronic diseases, genetic factors, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gray hair is related to blood heat, liver and kidney deficiency, and Qi and blood deficiency. Treatment should mainly use drugs that nourish yin and cool blood, nourish blood and blacken hair, and nourish the kidney and calm the nerves.
