My Hair Looks Withered at the Ends

Hello Dr. Rassman,

How are you Doc? Excellent work with the blog!

Here is my question: I’ve noticed recently that some of my hair has a “withered” look to it. The hair seems normal and healthy until about 1 cm from the top, then it becomes very thin and wispy looking. Could this be from MPB, poor nutrition, or lack of a recent hair cut?

I’m a 23 year old male, and though I have some miniaturization, these withered hairs seem to be much different than my miniaturized ones.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Although your description of “withered” doesn’t really explain what you’re seeing, it doesn’t sound like genetic hair loss if the hair is growing healthy from the scalp. Perhaps it is split ends, which can be solved with a haircut. Talk to your barber or a hair stylist.
