The Initial Shed
Every treatment that would increase hair quality (increased diameter of the hair shaft) in a short amount of time carries with it the consequence of the initial shedding. This is because, in order for the hair to become thicker, the follicle itself has to expand first. Therefore, if the follicle expands, and the hair bulb remains small, the hair doesn't have anything to hold onto and therefore sheds. In the next cycle, the size of the bulb will increase to accommodate the follicle.
True or false?
It's very easy to tell by answering the following question:
Does the bulb size change dynamically or is it fixed to cycles as the first paragraph proposes?

... Excuse the liberal (well, actually - completely wrong) use of terminology.

Re: The Initial Shed
Afloblihlor - This is difficult to answer. There are a few studies on this, some of which have not been conclusive. Just looking at either of these
below raises more questions.

Re: The Initial Shed
If it indeed were true, there is a possible, very simple explanation for that 'tight feeling' on the balding scalp. The shrinking follicle hugs the hair ever so tighter - therefore irritation/tightness.
... To go out on a limb, could we assume that this is the origin of the inflammation? And if so, this means inflammation is simply a side effect of balding. Two questions:
1) Is the severely miniaturized follicle inflamed as well? Does inflammation stop at a certain stage of miniaturization This raises the following:
2) Does the miniaturization itself stop at a certain stage?

Re: The Initial Shed
As an aside, one thing that has guided me through all of my trials is that feeling of connectedness of my hair to scalp. This is perhaps ultimately my chief concern and the most prudent factor in dictating whether hair loss is an issue or not. It may seem intangible but, "that feeling," seems to make the difference.
