Hats causing baldness

I once read that hat wearing could restrict the flow of blood to the scalp and cause the hair follicles to atrophy thereby causing baldness.

However, according to here it's quite rare.

The Trichological Society said:
Permanent baldness: Hair follicles cease to regenerate hairs.
This may be due to disease, skin damage, androgenic (hormonal) or genetic (inherited) factors. Rarely is this associated with hat wearing, circulatory or vitamin deficiency. Men and women are affected.
 
I dont wear a hat or a cap....never have and never will but im still losing my hair on top and have been doing so for the past few yrs now.

LOLKwerk...still talking a pile of steaming dog crap i see.
 
Tell you what does suck: getting white hairs due to stress.

Had a tough few terms and i've now got a few white hairs on my head. Not really that noticeable seeing as I'm dark brown but still makes me ----> :eek:


I take it they don't go away? Sucks to be 21 haha.
 
I also suspect excessive beer drinking can cause it. My theory is it is full of estrogens and triggers a negative feedback loop in the endocrine system which stimulates the release of hormones which cause baldness.

So beer causes the release of testosterone?

Are you for real? Where is your carer?
 
Has anyone actually thought that men wear caps/hats because they are going bald. I.E. To hide their baldness?

I see absolutely no reason why a hat would cause baldness, the hairs grow due to dead skin cells being compressed and forced out of the hair follicle. I don't see it having much to do with hats.
 
Well I suppose at the end of the day going bald wouldn't be too bad because you'll be wearing a hat so no one will know.

I wear a hat 90% of the time I spend awake, in fact I'm wearing one now.

A hat used to be glued to my head, few years later now, I'm thin on top!!

Although, I went through a lot of stress a fair few months ago and it's seemed to have calmed down shedding (fingers crossed), but then again my uncle on my mums side is thin on top, I have a few reasons :D

:(
