Does constantly wearing a hat/cap cause you to loose your hair?

That is an old myth. If you lose your hair due to male pattern baldness, it is because of heredity.

Answer 2

I always thought so but heard on talk radio a well known hair tranplant surgeon in the Bay Area, CA say that "no" wearing a cap does not cause you to lose hair.

Answer 3

Normally, no. Consistently, sure. I have a brother & 2 cousins who are now both bald or balding. They're forty five+. Baldness does not run on both facet of the families. They all wore hats every single day in their teen years to early 20's. Over 10 years, day-to-day. Ask a doctor. It will not rationale hair to fall out, but it's going to discontinue it from developing & as a result in later years, you improve balding. The carrying of hats can all result in hair loss referred to as tension or traction alopecia. According to the American Hair Loss Council: "Traction alopecia is hair loss caused via bodily stress and anxiety on the hair comparable to prolonged use of hair weaving, corn rows etc. Accomplished too tightly on susceptible hair these can motive everlasting hair loss."
