Finding weak and thin hairs from the top of the head

May 7, 2017
Asked By:nasolabialundereye in California, CA

Hell. I am 18 years old. I have thick hair but sometimes during combing my hair, I find hair strands that are very weak and frail as opposed to my natural hair. Is this a normal thing to experience? Is this miniaturization? what kind of tests do I have to do to to find out if this is miniaturization. I have attached a picture of what I mean. Thank you so much
