Can hair follicles fall out along with the shed hair If not what is the black bump at the end of the hair?

The white bump is called the hair bulb. It sits inside the follicle and is the beginning of the hair strand. The hair bulb is where the dead cells that make up hair are connected with live cells from the body. The follicle is part of your skin so it can't "fall out" but it can become damaged. Illness, sun damage, repeated waxing or tweezing are the most common reasons for follicle damage. There are three phases in the life of hair, a growing phase, a resting phase, and a loss phase. Usually, a healthy person will have 90% of their hair growing, 10-14% of their hair resting, and 10% of their hair falling out at any time.
