Keep this in mind....Hairdressers know absolutely nothing about hairloss. Did she try to sell you Nioxin after she told you that? :lol:

This bottom line is if your are GENETICALLY predisposed toward hairloss then any external damage on your hair is pretty much neglegible because your gonna go bald anyways...

I would say that it's possible that a hat could make a small amount of hair fall out due to traction allopecia, but certainly it doesn't cause male pattern baldness.. I always lose my widows peak when I wear a hat for long periods of time, but it always grows back. People who wear hats tend to wear them tight, and sweat and gel can make your scalp itch which can make a person move their hat back and forth when attempting to scratch the itch, adjusting it and so on can also tug on the hair.

well..you guys may be right..But Im going to be starting Propecia and evivogen next week i think since i just order revivogen..revivogen is for my temple area which recedes about 2 and half inches upward..Im hoping those weak vellous hairs can regrow some..at least i know it be working then and apply elsewhere..anyway..wish me luckj...as far as hats im gonna buy a visor maybe.
