Is it true that if you pick a grey hair it will cause even more to grow?

I just got my first grey hair... :-( I want to pluck it out but I've always heard if you pull a grey hair even more will grow. It doesn't make sense to me... Is that just urban legend?

Hello,

It could be true. I maried my husband @32yrs old he had a few grey. Then the grey hair start bursting everywhere. I mean 75% of his hair. We started to dye it, because it was too much to pluck : (

Everybdy asking him why his hair is grey and he's still young.

I think there is some truth to that from my experience. But, what I do from observing my husbands experience. I have learned not to pluck em out. But, I take those real tiny scissors and cut the gray hair from the end real close to the the scalp and that works just as good, without worrying if it will cause more grays to grow and it hasn't and still doing that. - Good Luck-

It is a myth that if you pull one hair two will grow in it's place. You go gray follicle by follicle. If you pull out a gray, it will be replaced by a gray hair in the same follicle.
