I seem to be losing more hair every year. Usually, I shed about 50 to 70 hairs a day, which I know is normal, but the hair I lose has this little black bulb at the end. Is this something I should be worried about? Will new hair grow back? I'm aware of the hair cycle, so I'm looking for a straightforward answer beyond that.
