Do gray hairs lead to hair loss?

[skelll]

Does anyone know if gray hairs are more likely to fall as opposed to the colored hairs? Just curious because I have been turning very gray over the past 10 years. Also is there anyway to prevent gray hairs? I know we can prevent hair loss with finasteride etc but is there anyway to prevent graying? I know theres hair dye which dsnt prevent graying just disguises it.

Kind of a stupid question but comments would be appreciated, thanks folks

My observation has always been that grey hairs you keep for life.

I dont think so. I havent any grey hairs on my scalp and im balding. My friend on the other hand has a full head of hair and is completelly grey, were both 26.

No, the mechanism for gray hair is totally unrelated to the reason we go bald.

:agree: , ive noticed grey hairs don't seem to fall out. I'm 32 and the grey hairs i have (which isnt that many, maybe 20) i can pull out, and they grw back everytime.

haha, yes those gray hair tends to stay for a long time and keep coming back. If only all our hairs had the strength of gray hairs. I have had a few for years.

When I first noticed the massive amounts of gray, I got stressed as hell. Compared to hair loss, gray is no big deal. Gray to me now represents wisdom in some way and if you don't like it, you can always dye it.

However, now that I see my hair is thinning bad, I want to dye my hair black again. My sister told me grays can make your hair look thinning, as you can't always see them and I gray they could appear to be scalp or blend in with it.
