thats the exact thing thats happening to me.... i get like a few hairs that i see fall all day but im still going bald, and my hair is long so when they fall i should notice....
shedding doesnt really have much to do with the balding process. its not about hairs falling out, its about follicles shrinking. as your follicles shrink your hair gets less visible. So your hair isnt actually falling out, instead it is getting smaller and smaller until it is to all intents and purposes invisible.
