該不該拔白頭髮大綱

Some women (and some men too) routinely pluck out stray grey hairs, but there's a risk, explains Mathias Napp, art director at the German Hair Academy. Plucking large amounts of hair may permanently damage the hair follicles and lead to bald spots.

有些女人（有些男人也是）會定期拔掉頭上的白頭髮，但這是有風險的，德國美髮學院的藝術總監馬賽厄斯·納普（Mathias Napp）解釋道。拔頭髮過多可能會造成永久性毛囊損傷、並導致禿頭。

Repeatedly pulling out many grey hairs over a course of years ultimately means each affected root may stop growing. Then, instead of a full head of hair, you will have thin hair. Even dye won't make it look great any more.

如果幾年的時間內不斷的拔掉大量的白頭髮，那最終意味着每根受影響的髮根處可能不會再長出頭髮。之後，你就會告別一頭蓬鬆的頭髮，迎來稀疏的頭髮。到時候染髮都不能拯救你了。

Many people have this experience with their eyebrows. Plucking them intensively on a regular basis can mean they get too thin, and at a certain point your eyebrows will never grow back as bushy as they used to be. The reason is that hairs repeatedly pulled out over a long period of time will eventually no longer grow back.

很多人的眉毛都經歷過這種事。經常拔眉毛會讓眉毛變稀，到某個時候，你的眉毛就再也不會長得像以前那麼濃密了。因爲長時間的不斷拔眉毛會最終導致眉毛不再生長。

Regardless of whether the roots put out a new hair again or not: removing lots of hair in one place is generally not a good idea. This is especially true if the hair growth is not very thick in the first place.

不管髮根處還會不會長出新頭髮：反覆拔同一處的頭髮並不是什麼好想法。尤其是當你的頭髮本身就少的時候，情況更是如此。

What happens when you start plucking your grey hairs? Which do you prefer - grey hairs or no hair? In the worst case, small bald patches can appear. Napp's advice is to conceal grey hairs hair dye instead. If you have just a single lonely grey hair, Napp's advice is different.

如果你開始拔白頭了，那會發生什麼呢？你更喜歡哪種情況--有白頭髮還是沒有頭髮？最糟糕的時候會開始出現小片的脫髮區域。納普的建議就是染髮，將白頭髮遮住就行了。如果你只有一根白頭髮，那納普就有不一樣的建議了。

"If you have one teensy grey hair - then just pluck it out!" says the expert. The only thing that will happen is that it might hurt. Everyone can sacrifice one hair or two. However, if the scalp is dirty when plucking hairs, the open pores might can become infected. Anyone who uses tweezers should also know: A plucked grey hair never comes back in the colour of your youth; it will come back grey. As soon as the melanocytes in the hair roots have stopped producing melanin, the pigment that gives human hair its colour, they can never be reactivated, explains Napp.

"如果你只有一根小的白頭髮--那就拔掉吧！"這位專家表示。唯一會發生的情況就是可能有點痛。但每個人都是能犧牲一兩根頭髮的。然而，如果拔頭髮時你的頭皮有點髒，那張開的毛孔可能會被感染。任何用鑷子拔頭髮的人應該也要了解這一點：就算拔掉白頭髮，你的頭髮也不會長回年輕時的黑色，到時長出來的還是灰色。只要髮根中的黑色細胞停止分泌賦予人們髮色的黑色素，那這種色素就永遠都不會被激活了，納普解釋道。
