B4LD3Y Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Hi! I'm new to the forum. I have a balding spot too and I'm just wondering if it caused by wearing caps too often. I usually on the field, unloading what's behind the truck bed cover. I have a collection of hats and I wear different ones every day, even when I get to work. Anyway, is it true that wearing a hat strains the hair follicles which cause the hair to fall out?

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Unless you are wearing you hat super tight and actually affecting blood circulation I do not think wearing a hat will cause hair loss. Where is your balding spot? Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted January 8, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 8, 2019 Try wearing hats that have a mesh construction...they allow air to penetrate the cap and thereby allow to head to breathe.

MohanSingh Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wearing a hat doesn't cause any hair loss but your hat should be clean otherwise, it can cause a scalp infection. Due to which you may face hair fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted January 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's an old myth not rooted in science... No different than the wives' tail that future hair loss can be determined solely by looking at the state of your grandfather's hair on your mother's side.
