It was once thought that hair grows only with age. But nowadays many young people are also facing hair loss problems. This problem can occur for several reasons. Melanin production for pigmentation at the hair root is reduced. That’s why black hair turns white.
The main cause of decreased supply of melanin is genetics. If many others in the family have a history of premature graying of hair, the next generation may also develop the problem of hair graying at a younger age. On the other hand, even if the supply of vitamin D, vitamin B12 is reduced, hair can grow at a young age.
Those with white skin problems may experience premature graying of hair. In Shweti’s problem, melanocytes leave the body. Melanocytes are required to produce melanin. Without melanocytes, melanin production also stops. As a result, the hair grows prematurely.
Sometimes thyroid, lack of sleep, stress, etc. can also be responsible for the premature graying of hair. However, regardless of the age at which the hair matures, experts advise against pulling mature hair. Many people believe that plucking can increase the amount of hair growth. Of course, this is not correct. If the hair is pulled, the other hair does not grow. The reason for the prohibition by experts is the fear of infection. Because pulling mature hair can cause skin infections.
If you regularly pluck ingrown hairs, hyperpigmentation may appear on the infected skin. Because of this, the follicle can be destroyed. It damages the hair permanently. Hair pulling from certain areas of the head can lead to trichotillomania. From there, the problem of hair loss can start and can be chronic.
If you keep pulling your hair with your hands regularly, it can lead to permanent baldness in some parts of the head. So if you don’t want to keep your hair, you can trim it with scissors. But don’t pull at all.
