What's on the root of my hair?

[balding79]

So some of my hairs that I pull out have this white bulb like substance at the root of the hair, and I have no idea what it is. Build up of oil? I would say my scalp is usually dry, so I can't see it being build up of oil. It's kind of hard in texture as well. I wash my hair every day, and with Nizoral 2-3x a week. Anyway, that can't be healthy for my hair, so I need to find out how to get rid of it.

Any ideas?

Perfectly normal, unless your losing them by the thousand. The follicle will rest and then the hair will regrow.

I have some of those as well. I had a thread similar to this one and everyone said it's a normal occurrence.
