Shuma

According to the Gemara on 46a, according the Chachomim it seems that if a girl grows hairs between the age of 9 and 12 and one day we have to assume its attricutable to a mole even if it lasts until she reaches Gadlus. The question is, according to the Chachomim, how are we to know when she is no longer considered a minor? Wont we get confused with the hairs that are already there (still attributable to a mole) and any new hairs that may come?

The chachomim require two new hairs after s/he becomes a gadol/a. There are a number of ways you could determine if it's new:
1. you could count the hairs that were there at the age of gadlus
2. you could mark the hairs that were there before
