Do grey hairs multiply if we pluck them ??

 IT  IS   A   COMMON MISCONCEPTION    !!!


Each hair follicle operates independently.  It can produce only one hair at a time.


There is no biological mechanism that would trigger surrounding follicles to produce grey hair just because we plucked one   !!!



Plucking one grey hair won't unleash hell. But it may cause more harm than good.



When we pull the hair, it causes trauma to hair follicle.  As a result,  hair we are pulling may just never come back. 



That's why it is not advisable.

Why colour of domestic gas cylinder is red ??

 Domestic LPG gas cylinders are painted red for safety and high visibility.


The red colour is internationally recognized as danger colour ensuring it is easily spotted and handled with care.


As red has the longest wavelength in visual light spectrum, it makes it easily noticeable even from distance, in low light also.


Red colour alerts the people to the highly inflammable nature of LPG.


Red colour distinguishes domestic cylinders from other types such as blue which is the colour of commercial gas cylinder.
