if gray hairs get plucked, does the follicle die?

Sadly no, some of us have been regularly plucking our grey hairs for decades.

the only sure way of getting rid of the grey is to shave your hair like i do

I think it depends on how weak the hair follicle is to begin with?. Some people after long continuous plucking may find that the hair doesn't grow back.

dorri,

Yes, you are right. But we're still talking a looooong time. :)

I used to have two gray hairs on my head and I plucked them just a couple times and now they have never grown back in a couple years. Not sure what that is all about but I think I won't pluck anymore when I start to get more grays again my hair is too thin as it is.
