It's often claimed that one of the reasons you shouldn't pluck gray hairs is because more will grow back in their place. But according to experts, this isn't actually the primary reason you shouldn't reach for the tweezers.
Going gray is very much a natural part of the aging process. And while some people choose to embrace the change and transition to gray hair, others decide not to (there's no right or wrong here). “We go gray when the hair follicle stops producing melanocytes – pigment cells that give hair its color,” explains Anabel Kingsley, brand president and consultant trichologist at Philip Kingsley.
