After pulling out the hair a few times, the hair follicles no longer grow

After multiple hair extractions, hair follicles may permanently lose their regenerative ability, and the specific number of times varies from person to person. The degree of hair follicle damage is mainly influenced by factors such as hair removal frequency, hair growth cycle, and individual constitution.

Hair maintains its growth cycle through the dermal papilla cells at the bottom of the hair follicle, and repeated plucking may lead to irreversible damage to the papilla. Frequent hair removal can damage the structure of hair follicles, especially violent removal or improper use of tools may accelerate hair follicle atrophy. Some people have weaker hair follicle repair abilities, and permanent hair loss may occur after three to five hair extractions, while those with stronger repair abilities may require longer periods of time. In rare cases, hair follicles have strong regenerative potential and can restore function even after multiple extractions. Genetic factors, hormone levels, and local blood circulation can affect the ability of hair follicles to recover. Hair follicles in certain special areas, such as the eyebrow region, are usually more resistant to repeated removal, while hair follicles in the perineum are relatively fragile. After complete necrosis of hair follicles, local pigmentation or small scars may occur.

It is recommended to reduce the frequency of mechanical hair removal and prioritize mild hair removal methods such as laser hair removal. After hair removal, apply cold compress promptly to soothe the skin and avoid scratching and irritation. Daily supplementation of vitamin E and high-quality protein can promote hair follicle health. If symptoms of folliculitis occur, seek medical treatment. Long term repeated hair removal should be observed for hair regeneration, and if necessary, professional dermatologists should be consulted to evaluate the status of hair follicles.
