If I Pluck a Hair, How Long Does it Take to Regrow? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

Hi I was just wondering how long it will take for scalp hair to grow back. I had damage done to my hair a few mos back and had little stray hairs on my head sticking up. I plucked only a few out one time 2 mos ago and not seeing results of them coming back. Will the hairs I plucked come back, I have not touched them since then? Thanks

Depending upon the amount of trauma, plucked hairs usually come back earlier than the normal telogen (rest) hair cycle that the hair transplant surgeon sees when a transplant is done. To determine the answer to your question, pluck out a few hairs and note where they are, then observe when they come back.

  1. Plucked hair does in fact grow back. My mother used to rip the hair from my head in anger, resulting in her having a handfull of hair, my hair is just as thick as it always has been regardless of the trauma it went through, and I can assure you that her ripping the hair from my head was not just a one time occurence, it happened almost daily.
