Greying hair is a part of ageing process. However, it is unwanted and people tend to seek remedies to get rid of it. According to Dr Priyanka Reddy, founder and chief dermatologist at DNA Skin Clinic, grey hairs, often considered a hallmark of aging, can be a point of concern for many.
“While some individuals embrace their silver strands as a natural part of life, others may feel compelled to pluck them out in an attempt to maintain a more youthful appearance. However, there’s more to plucking grey hairs than meets the eye,” Dr. Reddy told Financial Express.com.
According to Dr. Reddy, plucking those pesky greys might seem like a quick fix, but it can have its drawbacks. Here’s why:
Firstly, plucking grey hairs doesn’t stop more from appearing. Contrary to popular belief, pulling out one grey hair won’t prevent others from sprouting in its place. In fact, plucking them can pose a potential damage to the hair follicle itself.
Moreover, repeatedly plucking grey hairs could irritate the scalp and potentially cause inflammation. This irritation may result in discomfort or even lead to infection in some cases. Additionally, continuous plucking might damage the follicle, cause scarring, which could impact future hair growth.
Instead of plucking, there are safer ways to manage grey hairs. Consider using hair dyes or embracing the natural aging process. Various hair coloring products are available that can effectively cover grey hairs, providing a temporary solution without causing harm. And look into the underlying medical causes in case of premature greuinv and treat them by consulting a dermatologist.
“Remember, plucking grey hairs might offer a momentary solution, but it’s not a permanent fix,” she said.
