A member asked:
I m 25.i noticed my first white hair today on my scalp today, my sister cautioned me not to pluck it because it ll lead to more white hair, is it true?

Not true: Plucking this white hair will not create more white hairs. Once you start graying, more hairs will come in grey or white based on your genetics.
