Mostly genetics: The act of pulling out a white hair does not cause other hairs to become white. I think this means that eventually, it would be a never -ending task. Getting white or gray hair at a young is largely dependent on genetics. See my other answer to one of your questions - regarding possible health issues that cause depigmentation of hair.
