What do these hairs mean? Good or bad sign? [pic]

Recently, after 10 months on finasteride and a few months on minoxidil, I've been shedding a lot of these kinds of hairs. They are short (1.5 inches maybe) and tapered off at the tip. In other words, they start off wispy and thicken towards the root. Up until a few months ago or so I never shed these kinds of hairs.

Could this be a sign of wispy, miniaturized hairs converting to terminal as they grow? That would be great. Or.. are they miniaturized hairs that have taken a long time to grow and through washing and so on have thinned near their ends?

I should mention that the rest of my hair is fairly short. I just had a lot of hair lopped off a few months ago, so these shed hairs are not too much shorter on average than the rest of my hair.

bump? Any ideas?
Most likely shed hairs. Everyone sheds like 25 to 100 of
these a day. they have white bulbs on the end of them. As the hair gets weaker the shed hairs get smaller and the bulbs get smaller. The bulb is not the root. Just the base of the hair. It is white.
