The loss seen after this kind of injury to the hairs is due to weakening if the shaft a short way above the skin.
If you examine your hair which falls out you will find there is no white bulb but instead it is a broken shaft. They will all grow back but brushing and combing will add trauma to the shafts which will cause the weak spots on the hairs to break. Use conditionsers and combs or brushes with wide teeth.- do not pull on the hair.

If they all have white bulbs then the most likely diagnosis is a telogen effluvium which is a shedding due to some stress 2 months before the hairs began to fall out.
Answer Most of the hairs lost in a telogen effluvim do grow back in time. After the stress to the hairs stops they have to change cylcles and that takes about 3 months and then hairs begin to grow at the rate of 1/2 inch per month. If this continues see a dermatologist.
