What's wrong with having white hair?

I remembered someone told me if you pluck one piece of white hair from your scalp, 3 more pieces will grow! Wow! What if I pluck the black ones instead? So, I'll have a lot more hair in no time! Then we'll have no worry of losing our hair because the more we pluck, the more they'll grow! 3x!

Rubbish! Kill me! I cannot take this! Eh no! It'll only happen if you pluck the white ones, not the black ones! Huh? No, I'm not going to take this further. Totally rubbish!

But wait? What's wrong with having grey or white hair? Because people associate white hair with age? Old age?

As we grow older the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like grey, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely grey. So, white hair means "old age"?

No, some people will loose their hair colour earlier than others. Even as early as in their teens. It all depends on your genes.

But whatever it is I think it's better to have a full head of white/grey hair than to have no hair! Unless you are blessed with such pretty features that make you look good even if you're bald!

Well I think black hair, white hair, gray hair or no hair, it's just whether you look good or not.

Here are some people who look good with white/grey hair. Guessed it's your luck!
