Consequently, Should you pull out grey hairs? Dr Kraleti doesn’t recommend plucking or pulling the hairs out “If there is a gray hair you must get rid of, very carefully cut it off Plucking can traumatize the hair follicle, and repeated trauma to any follicle can cause infection, scar formation or possibly lead to bald patches”
When should you stop coloring your hair?

Besides Why do some people’s hair go grey early? Chwalek: So when individuals gray early in life before the age of 20, it’s called premature graying, and this is due to genes And we know there’s one gene, in particular, that’s been targeted called interferon regulatory factor 4, which is important in regulating and producing melanin in the hair

Does cutting GREY hair cause more to grow?
The pace of greying is multi-factorial and genetically determined” “Grey hair will just regrow the same way from that follicle (that’s where the lack of pigment originates) Continually plucking will traumatise the follicle so eventually, it won’t produce hair at all”
Can GREY hair reversed?
The answer is actually quite convoluted; if aging or genetics is the only cause of hair graying, this natural process cannot be reversed This is due to the pigment cells within the hair follicles (melanocytes) dying on their own There is no way to bring them back
