I don't know whether I'm experiencing baldness or not.
But I have noticed frequent shedding. I touch my hair, there is always 1-2 hair strands fall out with on my hand.

I had a look at the strand and saw the white bulb. One curiosity is that the hair toward the bulb is somewhat thinner than the other end.
Shouldn't it be in the other way around? I think normal hair should have thicker hair strand around white bulb and thinner hair strand at the other end.

I'm not a professional but I have an opinion since I was wondering the same thing couple of weeks ago.

I may be wrong, but I think that some follicles produce progressively less keratin when they stop building their strands. Some of my strands are thinner towards the ends since I started my treatment, but my treatment made my hair stronger so I'm not worried with it.

If thinner ends was a sign of baldness, I don't think hair specialist would put effort on other methods to determine if your are going bald. That said, you should get an appointment with an hair specialist to determine if you are going bald. Some people loose 50% of their density before they discover their baldness. Prevention is the key.
