White bulbs at tip of hair

[2hillpark]

When my hair comes out it falls out with a white bulb at the end of it. Is this male pattern baldness.

Your thoughts and own personal expriences would be interesting to find out.

the white bulb is just dermal papilla or whatever they call it. basically the root. every hair should have one unless the hair is breaking as opposed to shedding.

I know exactly what you're talking about, some of my hairs have the same thing. it's almost the size of dandruff, but occasionally it's not on the end of the hair but rather on the edge of it.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, anyone else have this?

I don't think it's the root of the hair. May simply be sebum accumulation.

Are the breaking hairs part of male pattern baldness or is just normal wear and tear to have broken follicles or maybe from too much brushing?
