Why am I shedding short, non-miniaturized hairs?

Asked By:bluenotred in Portland, OR

I've had multiple bouts of TE over the last 4 years. I can see and feel the regrowth (they don't start thin, but are prickly and stiff - when I put my fingers on my scalp I can feel them all over my head, not just the MPB areas)). I'm not showing any signs of miniaturization in the hairs I've got or the hairs I'm shedding. No recession anywhere. I'm only shedding really short, stiff hairs. Is this just the long recovery process for multiple bouts of TE? I can't figure out what's going on.
