....and you pull it out, that more will grow back faster.

When I was sixteen, I woke up one morning with a patch of grey hair. There were so many of them I could not pull them out, it would have left a bald spot.
WITHOUT pulling out a single strand, the patch grew larger and larger until I now have a headful of grey hair (like Peter Graves in the TV show Mission Impossible).
If your theory is true and I'd pulled some I would have TWO heads of grey hair at this time. That would be a sight, don't you think?

No. You can't get 2 follicles where there was only one before. Greying is a gradual process that naturally accompanies aging. It takes about three months to grow a new hair and about an additional three months for that hair to achieve enough length for us to notice it. Therefore, by the time the grey hairs we pull out grow back in, we've aged six months; during that stretch more of our hair has turned grey, including hairs in the immediate area of the ones extracted.

No I have tested this extensively and pulling out my grey hairs does not make them come back faster. They come back only when my kids get in trouble!

no it is a myth cause that each hair have its own roots and they r not connected together ..if u have only one grey hair that mean the hair u pulled what so weak and died ,it doesnt mean u r getting grey ..

Old wives tale - but I had 3 when I was only 22, and after I pulled them out I got more. They just kept on acomin', and now they're all here. I don't know if it was those first three, or whether it's a genetic thing. Of course it was right after my second daughter was born so...........................

A hairdresser told me that sometimes when you pull a hair it splits the follicle and two come back in.

Yes because when you lose hair more grows back in its place. It is kind of like how you prune roses. You cut them back and they grow more.
