I Pulled Out Some Kinked and Coarse Hairs I Found Amongst My Normal Scalp Hair

A quick question that I haven’t seen addressed on here.

I had a bout of trichotillomania that lasted a few years and left a small sparsely populated patch just to the left of my crown. The reason I pulled from that area was that I had some hairs there that grew in very kinked and coarse; they were jet black and sort of twisty. My hair is normally dark brown and straight.

What causes those differently-textured hairs? Do they forecast hair loss?

Thank you!

Sometimes hair color and characteristics may vary in individuals. It can be totally normal. Kinked or coarse hairs do not forecast hair loss.
