When my hair is wet, I can wring it out and end up with about a dozen hairs in my hand. When hair falls out completely, does it start to grow new hair from the follicle or is that it? I notice alot of elderly women have very thin hair..

A lot of hair gets damaged /broken through normal washing. This hair will mostly grow back from where it was broken unless you see roots on the end. Hair that has lost it's roots will not grow back. True many elderly women have thin hair and studies have found that the longer their hair the thinner it becomes. this is why many elderly women will have shirt hair. Hair if worn long can become heavy and will pull the roots out faster.
