Men’s Hair Loss and Genetics

The American Hair Loss Association (AHLA) states that about 85% of men will have significant hair thinning by the time they turn 50. Majority of male hair loss – more than 95% – is attributed to male-pattern baldness, which is a genetic trait. It is important to note that in most cases hair loss in men does not signal that there is a medical problem.

The gene that causes male-pattern baldness can come from either parent. According to WebMD, a sign that you are beginning to experience male-pattern baldness is a receding, M-shaped hairline.

The next sign is hair thinning on the top of your head; eventually the two meet and create a horseshoe-type appearance around the head. 


Hormones are another major cause of male-pattern baldness. The hormone, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), causes hair follicles to shrink. These hair follicles end up shrinking so much that hair can no longer grow from them.

New England Associates (NEA) offers every successful option to stop hair loss and re-grow, restore, or replace hair. Several procedures that NEA offers to help men and women fight hair loss are Hair Transplantation, Hair Replacement, and Laser Hair Therapy Treatments, among others.

Hats and Hair Loss

The correlation between hats and hair loss is one of the oldest myths that has been told for far too long. Believe it or not, there is no scientific research that proves wearing a hat contributes to hair loss.  Many people believe that wearing hats will cause or contribute to premature baldness,  but believe it or not, there is no scientific research that proves wearing a hat contributes to hair loss. In order for a hat to cause hair loss, it would need to be tight enough to cut off circulation to the hair follicles — and I certainly hope no one is wearing a hat that tight!

Most experts can agree that wearing a hat daily does not cause you to lose hair. However, for those who are already losing their hair due to male pattern baldness and/or from another genetic predisposition, wearing a hat can be threatening to your hair's health.

Here are some ways that a hat could cause a problem for someone who already has thinning hair:

On & Off
When removing and replacing a hat often, some delicate hair that is already thinning or falling out could be aggravated, and pulled out. This could further the loss of hair that is about to fall out due to balding. Preventing the constant removal and replacement of your hat could assist in keeping some of that hair on the head where it belongs.

Too tight
Although, not commonly seen, there are some conditions where a very tight hat could potentially cut of circulation to the head and result in a deadened hair follicle. For this to happen, the hat would have to be so tight that it would be extremely uncomfortable.

Sweating
The consistent application of a hat while sweating profusely can be damaging to your hair follicles. What happens is that the sweat could become trapped in the follicle causing it to slow down growth. This particular process must be studied further for more definitive answers.

Continuing to wear a hat on a regular basis could potentially lead to damaged hair from split ends and breakage. As a result your hair could look less thick, and thinner in some places.
The bottom line is, while hats may not be the main cause when it comes to hair loss, they surely don’t help it. Although genes will play a much bigger role in hair loss than your hat will, it is always good to take precautions.

So remember, try not to wear tight hats, exercise in a hat/sweating into it, or be careless when removing or replacing it!
