Does wearing a hat make you bald?
“Wearing a hat makes you bald” is a phrase that many people have often heard. This phrase may have come from the fact that we often see people with hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness wearing hats to cover their scalps regularly. But in fact, is wearing a hat really the cause of baldness?
The answer: No.
Wearing a hat is not the cause of baldness. Baldness is often caused by genetics or possibly male hormones that destroy our hair root cells, making them weak and falling out. Wearing a hat incorrectly, such as a hat that is too small, which would squeeze the scalp, or wearing a hat for a long time, causing the scalp to be moist, and might lead to fungal infection. Another reason is that the hat is too small, and wearing it for too long restricts the blood flow on the scalp. As a result, our hair is more likely to fall out.
Wearing a hat often but not wanting to go bald, how should we prevent it?
For those who love wearing hats or those who travel often, or those going out to work outdoors regularly and having to wear a hat to protect from the sun, but are afraid of going bald due to having to hear the hat all day, we have tips on wearing a hat and taking care of it properly.
- Choose a hat that fits your head, avoid wearing a hat that is too tight.
- Remove your hat frequently during the day to air out and prevent moisture from accumulating under the hat.
- Regularly wipe off sweat stains on your scalp.
- After returning home, wash your hair clean and blow dry it thoroughly every time.
- Clean your hat regularly, do not wear a wet hat.
Hair loss, thinning hair, baldness from genetics, how to treat it?
In addition to concerns about baldness due to frequent headwear use, another problem that many people wonder about is the treatment for hair loss, thinning hair, baldness caused by genetics or from weak hair root cells. The treatment must start with seeing a specialist for diagnosis and assessment. If the problem is found to be in an early stage, it can be treated by taking medication, serum, or doing a treatment to strengthen the hair roots. However, if the hair roots are too weak or there are no hair roots left on the scalp at all, the doctor will consider hair transplantation, which is the transfer of hair roots from the nape of the neck or the side of the head to the target area. This method will allow grafting of healthy hair on the area, the hair which you can cut, comb and dye as usual.
