Brushing and hair loss

Sometimes I get a decent amount of hair in my brush or when applying product to my hair, and I get worried that I’m accelerating any balding I have.

If you brush a little rough and tug some hair out, will it grow back? I would think that it should, since the follicle it came from is still alive, right?

With vigorous brushing, you can pull out the miniaturized hairs that might not come back. For brushing, use a large toothed comb and that produces the least damage
