Regular Member Ty Posted July 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2006 What up Don't think I'm a couple chromosomes short or anything, but as I am going through a real shedding phase right now and at the end of some of the finer hairs I am seeing almost microscopic white balls... Are those my follicles falling out with the hair, thus negating the chance of ever growing hair there again? I'm tweaking out a little bit here....

Regular Member jonn Posted July 18, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2006 i dont have the answer but im glad you have asked that question i am finding exactly the same thing happening to me . ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JakeVig Posted July 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah I am also glad you asked the question because when I see shedding I see either black heads or white ones. Unfortunately I would assume that one of them is permanent hair loss - would anyone like to chime in on which one it is? 1344 grafts with Ron Shapiro - June 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member johnnie69 Posted July 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2006 are you itchy also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JakeVig Posted July 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2006 Yeah I was really itchy when my hairloss was at its peak, I thought this was the process of balding since I was using head & shoulders and it didnt help. Now after using Nizoral 2% the itchiness has largely gone away, I just wished I used this product sooner! 1344 grafts with Ron Shapiro - June 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jonn Posted July 19, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2006 i have had itchness also since my hairloss started and ive just recently (days) starting using nizoral. i hope it going to help. do you think its ok to use a normal conditoner after using nizoral because it leaves my hair quite tangled.

Senior Member jagdish Posted July 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2006 I am not sure, But I think yes it is perminant hairloss. Because when I started loosing hair perminantly my hairs got those white balls at their end and also the hairs were very thin. Now my hair loss is halted. Even now few hairs are falling but they don't have those white balls and also they are thick giving impression that they will grow back again.

Senior Member dhuge67 Posted July 19, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2006 From what I've read, the "white balls" on the ends of hairs does not indicate permanent loss. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

Senior Member troy Posted July 20, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2006 I had the same question, I asked Dr Rose he said no. I cant remeber all he said I commented on it somewhere on this forum My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffMcGee7 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I thought the white part at the end of a shedded hair was dead skin from the scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kamin Posted July 20, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2006 It's most likely not permanent hair loss, just shedding. The hair with the bulb on the end is known as a club hair. The following is from one of my previous posts. I found the info on the Internet: "Hair grows in a cycle: anagen (living growing hair), catagen (in-between phase) and telogen (resting or falling-out phase). Telogen lasts a few months and is terminated by a new anagen hair. The result is shedding a hair with a bulb at the end (club hair). It is normal to lose 50 or more telogen hairs a day."

Senior Member tkerr22 Posted July 20, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2006 agree with Kamin, those are normal and not to fret, heck I looked at one of my wife's hairs last night that had fallen on my shirt and it had a white bulb at the end and she is nowhere close to losing hair!

Guest Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 shift the subject - can anyone who has gone through a hair transplant procedure help me out with a concern. I have noticed where my new hair line is supposed to be and I feel confident will come to be.... I have several bumpy areas that are sore to touch. These areas are not an eye sore just irrated small bumpyness located right at the hair line. I had arount 2200 pluse FUE first procdure on July 25,2006. The procdure went great and post-op healing and treatment were also very successful. Just started noticing the soreness last week and it has not proceded to get worse just soreness and small bumps. I would appreciate some advice from any experienced FUE vet's out there.... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member worried Posted September 10, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2006 I've gotten soar bumps (which turned out to be ingrown hairs or pimples) and have read on here about others with the same. i put a hot compress on them and when they had a head on them pressed on them like a zit and puss came out just like a zit and then healed. I've gotten many over these last 6 months but it seems like the most were between 2-4 months or 5 months. Don't know if this is what you r explaining or not.

Guest Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Guru Real Hair Club Member Thank you for the quick feedback. I will place a hot compress on them. Hopefully this will treat my problem. I understand hair pimples or ingrown hairs have no negative impact on my desired results of successful new hair growth. I truly appreciate your response....

Regular Member worried Posted September 10, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2006 From what I was told, it's a sign that the hairs are starting to grow. I've read many post on here and most stated that they were getting pimples and or ingrown hairs, and my personal experiance seems to dictate that also. especially during the earlier months 2-6 . scott View My Hair Loss Weblog Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
