I agree. Its hard to believe some people wears hat 24/7, even ppl who wears a turban will take it off when they r bathing, sleeping or whenever they are at home !

Em...that isn't what I was saying, lol. Anyways my views are above. ;-)

I don't believe wearing a hat causes hair loss. However, I do notice that after a day of wearing my fitted hats that my recipient region is a little more red than usual. This slight irritation is a little concerning to me as I'd hope it wouldn't affect the growth of the grafts.

Ok, can we all agree excessive friction may lead to some loss? This has been seen during scalp exercises.

We all know circulation issues can effect hair growth (I don't think many will disagree with that).

There is also countless posts on the net regarding excessive sebum and the concern that it may be causing some hair to fall. Can we agree that wearing a hat for many hours, especially in warm/hot condition, is likely to produce more sebum? It seems logical to me.

I believe wearing a hat excessively *could* contribute to all of the above. I'm not talking about MPB/androgenic alopecia but honestly believe for the reason I have said that some form of loss *could* be seen from wearing a hat 12 hours per day or whatever.

Anyway, I keep repeating myself, haha, so I'll leave it there.

I think hair loss due to wearing a hat wont be permanent

I agree, even in the unlikely event you lost any hair as a result of wearing a hat - I'd highly doubt this loss would be permanent except in cases of traction alopecia.

It could only be possible where most abrasion occurs. Maybe the front or back of the scalp and it will only be thinning or maybe tiny bald spots.
