Okay so i have a really bad habit of running my fingers through my hair and pulling at each strand individually...I do NOT have lice/dandruff etc. but sometimes i pull on a strand which isn't SMOOTH. You know, other will be really smooth but then i hit one and BAM i pull at the small almost crunchy-like feeling until i take it off at the end of the strand of hair. it looks white and doesn't happen very often. I do not know what it is but it almost looks like the root of the hair follicle.

Sounds like your working way up to a full blown case of Trichotillomania.

I'm no doctor (duh), so you'll have to go see one to find out if I'm right.

You need to go see a doctor. There are many medical reasons you could be losing your hair and have fine hair. Mostly is associated with protien deficiencies. If you don't know what protien is, its found in foods like meat and eggs, and nuts so if you not eating enough protien that could be the reason too. My advice is to go see a doctor and eat a lot more protien.
