Ever since I can remember at the start of my hair loss years ago, every time I ran a comb through my hair or my hand I would always notice several fallen hairs each time with a hard oil-type pellet/bulb attached to the bottom of the follicle that shed.
I know that’s it’s probably a mix of skin cells and sebum dried and attached to the hair bulb, but now I’m thinking DHT is also likely in it and it’s the “calcification” process in action as well, suffocating the hair bulb and follicle from its blood supply and nutrition and it’s stunting it’s growth and causing it to fall out, shorter and shorter with each new weak growing hair and when I analyze the fallen hairs and tried removing the hardened mass from the root of the shed follicle it seemed very attached to the bulb of the hair.
So, I’m wondering how many others have also noticed this and has there been more discussion on this because it would make sense that there been a more safe topical that could be applied preventing the hardening/calcification and attachment to follicles in this manner?....wouldn’t that prevent hair miniaturization?
I’ve used minoxidil 2%/5%/Foam and these hardened pellet-type things are still left attached to shed and fallen hairs so I take it minoxidil doesn’t prevent or desolve it.
