Hello! I am worried because recently I heard that if the hair follicle falls outs, you are no longer able to ever grow hair out of that location. I loose a lot of hair easily, without pulling, and at the bottom, there is a tiny white dot, not clear, but white and round. Is this a hair follicle? What do most hair follicles on your head look like when they come out? I have tried to look everywhere on the internet for a photograph, not a medical diagram, but without luck. Thank you so much for your help!!
What does a hair follicle really look like when it gets pulled out?
Of course the hair follicle can fall out *rolls eyes*, it happens all the time. Costarelis et al (1990), demonstrated that slowly cycling keratinocytes that make up the stem cells of the hair follicle localize to a region of the outer root sheath on the hair shaft itself. Thus indicating that the hair follicle (or at least part of it) does fall out along with a hair.

it depends on what color your hair is if its black it just that a little black bulb. If its the clear that is the lining of your follicle!!! not to stress it will grow back!!!

Hair follicles can't "fall out" :rolleyes:
The hair follicle is the tiny hole in the skin that contains the hair root. This is not the little white dot. That is the root sheath, and it is only present in the early stages of the hair's growth cycle.
You lose hair naturally every day. It is normally replaced with new hair growing from the same follicles. And hair is not like plants or trees; the root doesn't remain when you lose a hair. It falls out completely and a new root is formed.
