Plucking out your first grey hairs: a harmless act or a move with consequences?

Discovering your first white hairs in the mirror can sometimes come as a shock. While some people accept them philosophically, others have a more radical reflex: pulling them out. At first glance, this action may seem harmless, but is it really without consequences? Let us explore this together.

FAQ about white hair

Why do hair turn white?

Hair whitening is a natural phenomenon resulting from a combination of factors, among which are the gradual cessation of melanin production by melanocytes, the reduction in stem cell reserves, and oxidative stress.

At what age do the first grey hairs appear?

The onset of white hair varies from one individual to another. On average, hair begins to turn white around the age of 35.

Do white hair require special care?

Yes, white hair can be drier and more fragile, requiring hydrating and nourishing care to maintain their health and shine. Furthermore, being less protected due to the lack of melanin, hair fibres need more protection from the sun, for instance, with sun protection sprays.

Is it possible to slow down the appearance of grey hair?

The whitening of hair is predominantly dependent on internal factors. However, protecting one's hair from oxidation and adopting a varied and balanced diet may potentially help to prevent greying.

Do white hairs grow faster than coloured hairs?

No, there is no link between the rate of hair growth and its colour.
