When you see an errant white hair among your lustrous locks do you pull it out? Or do you pull or pluck out you head hair for any other reason? Well you should not.

While the old adage that when you pull out one white hair three will grow in its place is not true, there are other reasons why you should not be plucking out your hair.

Experts now advice that cutting a white hair is a better way to get rid of it at short notice than to pluck it out, because this can ultimately lead to hair loss. This is what actually happens: a limited number of follicles, usually 25-35 follicles come out of a pore on the scalp in the one’s lifetime, and a follicle lives for two to three years. Thus if a hair is plucked out, it cuts what might be called the pore’s productivity by up to three years, advancing the time of sparse follicle growth or baldness.

So next time you spot that sliver of silver, reach for the scissors and not the tweezers.

Head lice is hardly a very prepossessing topic of conversation, however it is an ineluctable fact of life that head lice and other parasites do exist even with the advanced methods of hygiene available to us. According to researchers, head lice infestation, or Pediculosis capitis, is one of the most common childhood infections, affecting 1 to 3% of six- to 12-year-olds even in industrialized countries.

Researchers have now found that the best way to find head lice is to comb thru a child’s wet hair; which has been seen to be more effective than mere visual examination.

The study first checked students first by visual inspection, using an applicator stick to part the hair at the temples, behind the ears and on the neck.  In the second instance conditioner was applied to wet hair and fine-toothed comb was used to look for objects from roots to ends of the hair.

While the efficacy for visual inspection was found to be 28.6%, it was over 90% in wet combing of hair.

We all know that graying of hair is a largely inherited trait; that if one or the other of your parents started to gray early, chances are so will you. There are of course contributory factors that influence graying of hair, such as the environment, pollution, nutrition etc as well.

And now researchers have found that too much hydrogen peroxide may also be one of the factors that cause hair to go gray. Hydrogen peroxide, which is produced naturally in the human body, interferes with melanin, the pigment that colors our hair and skin.

The study found that as we age, an enzyme responsible for breaking down hydrogen peroxide, catalase, slows down. As the hydrogen peroxide builds up, our hair turns gray or white

“All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes a lot. We bleach our hair pigment from within, and our hair turns gray and then white. This research, however, is an important first step to get at the root of the problem, so to speak” writes Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal.

“This new insight could open new strategies for intervention and reversal of the hair graying process,” wrote John Wood, lead author of the study.
