Can high pressure showerhead cause hair loss?


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

I have actually been showering by detaching the showerhead and letting the water direct on scalp as it is. However this creates a densed high pressure single stream of water and it feels good on my scalp as it effectively washes away junk. My concern is that could it be damaging my scalp, hair or minituarizing hair? Or causing hair loss?

 

 

Thank You

No it can not, actually a decent amount of shower pressure is good for helping to clean the scalp from dirt and sebum etc.

 

Any hairs you are losing from showering are actually lost from other causes such as normal shedding, and if the amount is high then from MPB or from some internal disease or condition.

 

You can't go bald from showering even with high water pressure.

go dense or go home

Very unlikely that the pressure from the shower head is causing the hair loss.
