    Some people occasionally have a little gray hair due to the pressure of work and life or irregular diet, and some young people will have less gray hair due to genetic and other reasons. For the sake of beauty, many people have the urge to pull out white hair when they see it, but the saying that "white hair grows ten when it is plucked, ten long when it is plucked, and more and more are pulled" is prohibitive. So, will the gray hair be plucked more and more?

    There are many reasons for the formation of gray hair.

    In an interview with Yang Dingquan, chief physician of the Department of Diseases and Venereal Diseases of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, he introduced that hair grows from hair follicles, and the color of hair is determined by the melanin secreted by hair mother cells in hair follicles. The greater the number and density of melanin particles, the darker the hair will be, and vice versa, the lighter the color.

    There are many reasons that affect melanin secretion, people have gray hair when they are young, it is likely to be related to genetic factors, life stress, sleep quality, malnutrition and other factors, these factors will cause too little melanin secretion, making people grow gray hair; Older people have gray hair because as they age, the amount of melanin produced by melanocytes in the body will naturally and gradually decrease, resulting in white hair.

    Doesn't gray hair get more and more plucked?

    In fact, gray hair doesn't get more and more plucked. According to Life Times, uprooting the gray hair will only make this hair follicle temporarily empty, and after a period of recovery, the hair may still grow. The newly grown hair does not necessarily have to be gray hair, and the number of hair follicles on the scalp is relatively fixed, so pulling the hair will not have much impact on the surrounding hair follicles, so the gray hair will not be plucked more and more.

    Although gray hair will not be pulled out more and more, it is still easy to damage the hair roots when uprooted; If you pull too much gray hair, it may also cause folliculitis, so try not to pull it out if you have gray hair.

    Ways to avoid gray hair growth.

    Nowadays, more and more people are troubled by gray hair, but in addition to the irreversible gray hair caused by genetic factors and human aging, it is possible to reverse gray hair caused by other factors. According to the **** report, some experts put forward the following points to protect hair and avoid the occurrence of gray hair:

    1.Relax your mind and get sleep.

    2.Exercise moderately to keep the blood circulating throughout the body.

    3.Massage the scalp locally.

    4.Eat more foods that contain B vitamins, such as black beans, fungus, black sesame seeds, ligustrum seeds, etc. (Ledan).

    How can one hair follicle grow ten hairs?

  4. Anonymous users2024-02-05

    It is often said that white hair cannot be plucked because "one plucked hair grows ten". This argument is unscientific.

    Professor Hou, who visits the family doctor's outpatient department, said that the hair follicles that surround the hair are actually formed when the embryo is formed, and although it is not necessary for one hair follicle to grow a hair correspondingly, the number of hairs is regular. According to statistics, the average person has about 100,000 hairs. As we age, hair follicles decrease, which is the cause of thinning hair in older people.

    Because the number of hairs is certain, the saying that "plucking one grows ten" is not true. Professor Hou also said that it is often said that newborns will have thicker hair if they shave their heads, but this claim is also unfounded from a scientific point of view.

    There are two causes of gray hair: congenital and acquired.

    There are three reasons for the day after tomorrow: nutritional deficiencies, chronic mental stress and lack of sunlight. In addition, some ** diseases such as vitiligo can also cause gray hair.

    Normal people generally start to grow gray hair at the age of 35, and if it appears early, it is best to go **. According to Professor Hou, the gray hair caused by congenital inheritance is difficult to treat, but the gray hair produced by acquired causes can be improved after **.

    Gray hair refers to the graying of all or part of the hair, which can be divided into two types: congenital and acquired. Congenital gray hair tends to have a family history, with localized gray hair being more common, mostly in the anterior hairline. There are two types of acquired gray hair: senile gray hair and juvenile gray hair.

    Some are elderly and frail and have few gray hairs, and gray hair occurs in children and adolescents, and there is often a family history, except for the increase in gray hair, it does not affect physical health. Some gray hairs that occur suddenly during adolescence are related to nutritional disorders. Mental factors can influence the graying of hair.

    Gray hair can be a symptom of certain diseases such as progeria, vitiligo, etc. There is currently no effective treatment for this disease**, and patients should be helped to treat the disease correctly and avoid stress and depression. Hair dye is a commonly used cosmetic product for people with gray hair, but it can cause hair dye dermatitis and should be used with caution.

    There is no scientific basis for this claim. There are generally two reasons for long gray hair:

    1. Congenital factors.

    There is often a family history of low whiteheads, and certain syndromes (eg, progeria syndrome, comprehensive myotonic dystrophy, etc.) may be present. In addition, gray hair can also occur when suffering from some more serious diseases, such as pernicious anemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, syphilis, etc.

    2. Lack of trace elements.

    In recent years, scientists have found that the pigment particles of hair contain a mixture of copper and iron, and when the nickel content of the hair increases, it will turn grayish-white. Therefore, trace elements are closely related to hair color. Experts recommend eating hair dense nutrients to supplement hair follicles to strengthen hair roots, make gray hair black, and prevent gray hair.

    Many people have hair loss, but they generally don't care, thinking that hair loss is inevitable and that the hair will grow back. In fact, there are many reasons for hair loss, and I happened to see it heavy. Now the green silk has a line, talked about a lot of knowledge about hair loss, and briefly told some of it, so that you can exercise, travel and other ways to reduce stress in your daily life, don't have too much mental baggage, and be calm.

    When washing your hair, the water temperature should not be too high or too low, and after washing your hair, use less electric hair dryer to blow your hair. It is also necessary to dye your hair less and perm it, as dyeing and perming your hair will accelerate the loss of your hair. Don't let yourself have too much pressure, mental stress can also cause hair loss, especially female friends, even if you are busy, you must have a moderate amount of exercise, which is not only good for your body, but also can curb hair loss.

    Wash your hair frequently to prevent dirt and oil build-up, keep your hair and scalp clean, and also help with new hair growth.

    Fake! A hair root only grows one hair, and a ** is dialed to become ten hair roots.

    I was so beautiful that I had to look in the mirror several times a day, and when I found out that I had gray hair, I felt so bad that I couldn't help but pull it out. But the obsession of "plucking one and growing ten" made me retract my hand again. The decision to determine whether the hair grows is black or white depends on the secretion of melanin in the body, and it has nothing to do with whether or not the hair is pulled out.

    Older people will have more and more gray hair, and if you pull out a white hair, which hair follicle will grow out of it is still white hair, and other hair is also turning white, so it feels like pulling out a gray hair and growing ten.

    <> because I myself have plucked white hair, and I have grown a white hair in the dwelling place of my forehead, and after I pulled it out, another white hair has grown after that, and it has been almost ten years, and there is still a white hair in that position, and there is no gray hair anywhere else. It is also an indisputable fact that mental factors include long-term anxiety, overtime, and high pressure in life, and gray hair will continue to increase day after day. Liu Qiangdong's forehead was a handful of white hair, according to his own words, caused by insomnia for several months when Jingdong was facing the disconnection of the capital chain.

    By the way, I'm in my fifties now! Congenital refers to: caused by one's own genetic defects (such as albinism, etc.) or hereditary diseases (such as less whiteheads, etc.), which is currently not the best method.

    Acquired nature refers to the cause caused by external factors, such as long-term staying up late, unbalanced diet, trace element deficiency and other factors, which can be improved after intervention. In addition, there is a part of naturalness (first, the color of the hair mainly depends on the melanin at the roots, and pulling the hair does not affect the production of melanocytes at the roots.

    In addition, the body does not have a uniform gland that secretes melanin, which is produced by pigment cells at the root of the hair follicle, so it does not affect the hair color that grows on other hair roots.

    I have a female friend, white-collar worker, in her thirties, married, rational and intellectual. I talked about it, and he said, "Whatever, I just can't get along with it, and for several years, I've seen one pull out the other, and I'm going to pull it out until I think I can't ......pull it out again."I'm sure she did, and I've never seen her have gray hair.

    It's not that exaggerated, gray hair is just a little bit formed by the body in response to external pressure. As long as you relax properly, it is easy to control.

    There is no basis at all, this is all nonsense, that is, people in the past did not want people to pull out their hair to say this.

    There is certainly no scientific basis for this claim. However, pulling out a hair can indeed damage the hair follicles, and it can also lead to infection of the hair follicles, which is also a bad behavior.

    Physiological gray hair. First, let's understand what causes physiological gray hair? Their hair tends to be black, due to the presence of pigment granules metabolized by melanocytes in the hair follicles.

    As we age, the function of melanocyte stem cells gradually decreases, and the total number of melanocytes decomposed into melanocytes is smaller, so the amount of melanocyte particle metabolism will also decrease a lot, and without melanocyte particles, the hair will become milky white. However, this reduction in functionality occurs slowly, so our hair will slowly turn gray.

    Gray hair is a process in life, one of the manifestations of physical aging, and no one can stop this process. The purpose of determining hair color is to determine whether the melanocytes are forming properly from the hair follicles, and plucking out a gray hair will generally not cause damage to the surrounding hair follicles. Therefore, the view that "gray hair cannot be plucked, and the more it is pulled, the bigger it gets" is incorrect.

    What if there is gray hair? For young people with gray hair: it is best not to pull it out, because forced plucking may partially cause damage to the hair and cause hair follicle infection.

    Whether it is congenital or acquired, a good lifestyle should be developed to prevent the growth and development of gray hair (e.g., to prevent frequent late stays, moderate vitamin supplementation, etc.); For the elderly:

    Because the human body is getting older, the growth and development of gray hair is a normal physiological phenomenon, and we should be at peace with the situation and maintain a peaceful mind to deal with it. It is not recommended for hair dyeing, because scientific research now shows that long-term hair dyeing will cause certain damage to the human body, and the hair is often black, which is due to the continuous pigmentation caused by the somatic cells of the hair follicles. The occurrence of gray hair is the reason why melanocytes do not metabolize enough or cannot metabolize.

    If the gray hair is forcibly pulled out, it may damage the hair follicles and cause veliculitis. There are generally 2 or 4 hairs growing and developing in a hair follicle, so that the hair cannot stand on the growth and development, resulting in hair loss. However, capsulitis generally does not harm the metabolism of melanocytes, so the result of hair pulling is likely to be hair loss, or a new gray hair growing out, rather than ten hairs.

    In general, you can understand how to prevent the formation of gray hair! If the work pressure is too great, it is necessary to reduce the burden and increase efficiency, maintain an optimistic and positive psychological state, strengthen nutrition, and <>

    To cure diseases, it is also necessary to strengthen exercise. Here we should talk more about how to strengthen nutrition, we should first have a reasonable diet, intake of B vitamins that speed up metabolism, iron and copper and other ingredients, highly recommend fish and protein foods with strong protein content, egg foods, fungus, kelp shreds, soybeans, shrimp and crabs, dried fruits, etc. At the same time, try to eat less spicy food, greasy, fried and other foods to prevent excessive intake of sugar, oil, salt, etc.

    In addition, dyeing and perming hair can cause damage to the hair. Everyone has a love for beauty, but we must also pay attention to physical and mental health. In particular, patients with gray hair should immediately go to a professional hospital for treatment, establish the cause of the disease, and expect prevention only after recuperation.
