Shedding: Root sheath


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've just watched a Dr Bernstein video on youtube where he says that a tiny white bulb attached to shedding hair is the root sheath and is perfectly normal. He says this is no indication of the graft not being able to grow in the future.

 

I wish I had taken pictures, but many of my shedded hairs do not have a bulb, but rather about a third of the hair is covered in a white skin tissue. The skin is not scab like and it is not irregular, rather it is like a white compact coating around the end of the hair and appears very thin (not really adding anything to the diameter of the hair). It is perfectly consistent with the shape of the hair. I hope my description is adequate enough for people to know what I mean!

 

Has anybody else had these? Is it normal/ok? It just sounds kind of different to Dr Bernstein's description.
