What Is The White Bulb On The End Of My Hair? Is This Accelerating Hair Loss?

hello. I had a question about hairs that fall out of my scalp. Occasionally I see a hard skin bulb on the end of the hair shaft.. This can easily be pulled off and is just dry dead skin cells.. Could this be accelerating my hair loss?

The white substance you are referring to is likely a collection of dead cells mixed with the oils produced by your sebaceous gland.

It has no significance or correlation with genetic baling or acceleration of hair loss.

Non-balding men and women get it. But if you are rapidly losing hair due to inherent male pattern balding or obsessed and preoccupied with the idea that you are losing hair, you will obviously notice more hair falling and notice more of the white bulb and will search the Internet for answers. In doing so, the cleaver marketing agents will take advantage of this curiosity and insecurity and claim it may be a sign of bad hygiene or some disease process and offer their product for sale.
