White Dots On Hair That Break

They usually arent a cause for concern and may be treated at home.

White dots on hair that break. At least that is my experience. I have this same thing a waxy substance attached to the end of my hair when i pull it out. I would go out into the sun and look at my hair to see white dots everywhere. Sounds crazy but i end up pulling it out because it is so painful it feels like a sliver in my head these waxy substances keep growing and get bigger unless i pull them out i notice that my scalp is oily around the area that gets actually hot and causes raised bumps on my head.

For example if you heat wet hair with an flat iron it can sometimes cause the water to expand and break parts of the hair core. Thicker white spots at the end of shed hairs are the roots. White dots along the hair shaft are where the hair has broken down due to damage. For example they could be caused by a condition you were born with or they may develop if you dont bathe often enough.

What is it why do i have it how do i prevent it how do i treat it when i have it and will you cut them off. Keep reading to learn some of the most common causes how. I would take a strand of hair and just lightly touch the end where the white dot was. I dont think any deep conditioner will help once you get to that point.

In this post ill break down the structure of the hair strand as well as the hair growth cycle. The split is the damage. Split ends and little white dots on hair trichoptilosis and trichorrhexis nodosa is the single most common complaint i get from the people in my chair. Hairs will break off at the white dot leaving the end of a hair strand torn some may argue that the scissors do that for you but not exactly you wrote.

You see a white dot but if you looked at it under magnification you would see the cortex broken down and the hair starting to break apart. White spots on the skin may be caused by many different conditions. Many things can cause white spots to form on your testicles. But if the white dot is the damage then is there any harm to leaving the ends with dots alone.

To sum it all up it can get real technical real quick with me and hair what is it. Yes the white dot is the damage. So if you see that in your hair it is damage and you need a good trim.
