Yes, you can cut white hair with scissors.
Instead of plucking white hairs, which can damage the hair follicle, cutting them with scissors is a viable alternative for managing individual grey or white strands that are bothersome. According to one doctor, if single white hairs are causing concern, scissors are recommended. Dyeing is another option for those with a lot of gray hair. This makes cutting a good, low-commitment initial strategy.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Plucking vs. Cutting: Plucking can damage the hair follicle and potentially prevent hair from growing back. Cutting avoids this risk.
-
When to Consider Cutting: Cutting is a good option for managing a few stray white hairs.
-
Alternatives: If you have a significant amount of white hair, dyeing is an alternative to consider.
Therefore, using scissors to cut white hair is perfectly acceptable and a less damaging alternative to plucking.
