as early as high school, some of us already have a white hair mostly just one white hair among our black or brown hair. the thing is, we always reminded by the old folks that we should not pluck that one white hair or else it will grow back more than one until all our hair will turned white. any truth to this??

They say it's a fact. But whether it's a fact or just a myth, my mother still wants me to pull out all her white hair whenever she sees white hairs.

wow I've heard this too many times. I never heeded them. If I just cut the white hair strands, then all the more would they stick out and call attention to themselves among my generally black crowning glory. hehe. Plucking my white hair relieves me, haha. weird i know.

I never pluck any white air of mine, but more than one keep growing daily, the oldies can not be too far away from the truth.

No it isn't true! I pluck the grey hairs in my eyebrows and have since I was 23 years old! My eyebrows have not turned all grey! When I do pluck my grey eyebrow hairs 3 don't grow back where the one grey hair was plucked! Just one grey hair! I have a few grey hairs in my hair but it is stupid to pluck those hairs! I would never do that!
