Hair Loss

You may have heard that wearing a cap or hat can cause your hair to fall out. Just look at most bald men. Most wear hats. Did wearing their hats or caps cause their hair loss or did they wear their hats to cover the embarrassment of their balding head? There is some truth to hair loss being caused by the fact of wearing hats. Let us take a look at the truths and myths.

There are several main reasons men and women have thinning hair. Some could have wearing a hat as a contributing factor, whereas others do not. Let us look at each to see which could be contributed to the wearing of hats.

#1. Hereditary. Yes, sometimes hair loss just comes from your genes. If men or women in your family became bald, there is a likelihood that you could too. Sometimes thinning hair is just hereditary, and there is not a lot you can do about it. In this case, pay attention to the other contributing factors to help lessen your chances of hair loss.

#2. Lack of oxygen. Yes, a lack of oxygen to your roots can cause your hair to fall out. This can be contributed to wearing a cap or hat to tightly. If you are going to wear a cap or hat, make sure to wear it only snug enough to stay on your head. Wearing it too tightly can definitely cut off the oxygen supply to the roots.

#3. Lack of blood flow. Here again, this could be contributed to the wearing of a hat. Wearing your hat too tightly can cause the lack of blood flow that nourishes the roots. Make sure you only wear the hat tight enough to stay on your head but loose enough to allow blood flow to the hair root.

#4. Build up of sebum and oil. Sebum is a waxy substance that is secreted by the sebaceous glands in the scalp onto the hair follicles. This substance is used to protect the hair and the hair follicle. The build up of sebum or oil onto the follicle can plug the root causing a lack of oxygen used to nourish the root. Make sure you wash your hair and hat often to eliminate any build up of sebum and oil.

#5. Bacteria. Bacteria can grow on the scalp and kill the root. Here again, make sure you keep your hair and hat clean. Cleanliness can give your hair a better chance of staying in and not falling out.

Conclusion: as you can see, wearing a hat can contribute to hair loss. In order to lower the chances of your hat causing your hair to thin or fall out, you should do the following:

Make sure you wear your hat loose and comfortable. Only wear it tight enough to keep it on your head.
Make sure to wash your hair often. Keep the hair and roots clean of oil and sebum.
Wash your hat or headband often. Keeping your hat clean is very important as this will also keep your hair and roots clean.
