Condition of the hairs that fall out

I'm wondering if anyone else has examined the hairs that fall out.  Mine have a very small black area -- just a dot really- at the very tip of the bulb end (not sure of the technical term, but the end of the hair that attaches to the scalp). On the part of the hair looks like a q-tip, at the very end of mine it is black, where the rest of the blub area is whiteish-clear.  Anyone else?

Hi Cubbieblue,

I am so sorry you are dealing with this crazy disease. It is such a weird thing.

I think the bulb at the end of the hair is the root. I may be wrong, and if I am I would like to know if it is something else.

Isn’t it crazy that our hair falls out by the root without it even being tugged by something?

Does that mean when I see these long hairs of mine with root attached that’s another dead follicle.... ???!!! Yikes
