DDHK. ORG - Gray hair is a problem for some people. Apart from being considered as disturbing appearance, it also often makes it itchy. It's not surprising that the presence of white hair is often revoked not itchy or spoil the appearance.
Well, one of the questions that often arises about graying hair is, is it true that a lot of gray hair that has been removed grows?
Reporting from Kompas, it turns out that gray hair that is removed will not make it multiply. Conversely, revoking gray hair can trigger baldness in the growing area. For more details, see the explanation regarding gray hair being revoked and how to get rid of it below.
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS Health) mention, gray hair that is removed will not make white hair multiply. Hair follicles can only be a place to grow one hair. As a result, one strand of gray hair that is removed will only grow one hair in the same follicle.
The new hair that grows later will remain white because the follicles have lost the melanin needed to give hair its natural color.
Even so, you are advised not to pull out the gray hair because it can damage the hair follicles. Damage that is continuously experienced by the hair follicles will then trigger trauma and infection so that wounds will form and increase the risk of baldness.
Reporting from WebMD, there are several causes of gray hair and some of them can be returned to black or to the natural color of hair, such as:
Avoid stressors or stressors and do activities that provide relaxation if gray hair is caused by stress.
Take vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B-12, if a vitamin deficiency is the cause.
Stopping the smoking habit which can reduce blood flow to the hair follicles.
Cure health problems that trigger the growth of gray hair, such as alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, and vitiligo.
Some of these methods can be done, but you can't be sure that it will change gray hair back to its natural hair color. Especially if the cause is an inherited genetic condition.
You are advised to consult a doctor to find out the cause of gray hair that occurs suddenly so that you can get the right treatment and medication.
Knowing whether it is true that the gray hair that is removed grows more and more will be very important because it will greatly affect the health of the hair and scalp.
Also avoid pulling out gray hair because it will damage the hair follicles and increase the risk of baldness. [DDHK News]
