I have pulled out the same grey hair since I was 17 and I have not had 2 grow back in its place. That is just an old wifes tale.

No this is not true. Your eyes may be playing tricks on you.
The follicle is a tube like depression, or pocket, in the skin or scalp that encases the hair root. Each hair has it's own follicle. Therefore there can only be one hair per follicle. On the other hand if you mean another grey hair in another place on your head. Then again, no. The natural color of hair, it's strength, and it's texture depend mainly on heredity. The color of a person's hair, how light or dark it is, depends on the number of grains of melanin or pigment in each strand. So a certain number of follicles are predetermined to produce pigmented or unpigmented hair. That's why even a child can have grey hair, it's not only caused by old age.

I'm studying cosmetology and put your lil grey head at ease. When hair grows they all have their own follicle which can only support one hair......... that is unless your some type of freak of nature~lol~ But the reason you might be seeing this is because your worrying about two coming back so when the first starts to grow back the stress is making the others surrounding them turn grey too. Just take the simple route and dye or highlight.

No its not true, the reason that it seems like that sometimes is because as you age you attain more gray hairs. Just think, if you pulled one out and then two came back wouldn't your hair get thicker and thicker? That's certainly not what happens. I would suggest some hair coloring, and the older you get the lighter the color should be to look more natural.

How is that possible - each hair has its own follicle - if you could get two hairs by pulling one out, baldy people would be pulling out grey hairs all over the place.

I dont really dont beleive that. My mom used to say that to me but I think that its just a myth. I have tried it on my self. I've had grey hair since I was a teenager and pluck it out but more doesnt grow in its place.

No it's not true, I have had one grey hair for a couple of years, i pluck it occasionally, it always grows back, on it's own. I think what your experienceing is called 'going grey'

No it is just a figure of speech.
It just shows that your hair is turning grey. If one turns grey anothe one will...
Could you imagine..if you pulled one hair out that 2 grows in its place... you could have a head full of hair and thicker than when you were young!

Another old-wives tale to get you to stop doing something! U have 1 hair follicle where 1 hair will grow out of.Just go buy the Touch-up dye.

no it just seems that way because you are concetrating more on the white hairs than your usual colour ones.
you will get more white hairs as you grow older or when you go through a particularly stressful experience as the production of melanin in your body becomes compromised by age or trauma.
