Male Myths About Baldness

So there are myths about baldness – do certain factors really make baldness worse? You may sometimes wonder if brushing your scalp more frequently or wearing a hat could lead to more hair loss. Or even, can sun exposure actually damage the scalp?

Common Baldness Myths:

- Wearing a hat
- Using hair products
- Trauma
- Playing with your hair
- Infections
- Sun exposure

In Detail About These Myths:

Wearing a hat:
You can wear all the hats you want, but it’s recommended to spend at least 7 hours a day without one, as the scalp also needs to "breathe." It’s best to sleep without a hat on too :)

Using hair products:
Hair gels and sprays do not harm your scalp, so feel free to use them without worry. If you're concerned, you can switch to natural products, such as aloe vera-based options.

Trauma:
Experiencing stress or trauma does not directly cause hair loss, so there’s no need for concern.

Playing with your hair:
Touching or playing with your hair doesn’t cause baldness. If it becomes a habit, it may just be a sign of nervousness. Don’t worry; she can play with your hair all night long ;)

Infections:
There are no infections that directly cause baldness on the head, so rest easy!

Sun exposure:
Sunbathing enthusiasts, have no fear. Sun exposure does not harm your hair roots; in fact, your hair already provides some natural protection from UV rays. There may be slight thinning on your arms and legs with too much sun exposure, but nothing alarming.
