Do Helmet Causes Hair Fall? Know The Truth

Hair loss is a major problem and when the patients face this severe problem, they generally try to search the root cause of the disease. It is not unnatural since it is essential to find out the reason for the proper treatment. The patients coming for hair loss treatment in Ahmedabad are often curious about the root cause of the hair loss and they ask about wearing the helmets as they think helmets may cause hair loss. 

  According to hair loss experts, some of the possible reasons for hair loss are improper diet, sleeplessness, chronic disease, medications, stress, infections, genetic reasons, hormonal fluctuations etc. Therefore, hearing about the helmets as the main cause of hair loss seems somewhat odd but in some condition this claim is logical.

The helmet may be a reason for hair loss due to the following conditions.

Wearing a Tight Helmet:

Some people wear a tight helmet and this habit may disturb proper circulation of the blood in the scalp. Such people are more likely to suffer from hair loss. wearing a tight helmet is also a cause of traction alopecia. If the helmet is very tight, your hair is supposed to be under pressure for a long time and this condition may lead to the start of hair loss.

Infected Scalp:

If you wear a helmet that is not clean, you may be a victim of hair loss because of the infection or fungus that may affect the scalp severely. it is just like wearing a dirty cloth to cover the head to invite harmful germs to infect the scalp and hair.

There are some people who think the helmet may cause the hair loss because wearing the helmet will cause a blocked supply of the oxygen to the scalp. this is only a myth because hair follicles do not use environmental oxygen but they use the oxygen that they get from the supply of the blood. So, if you follow the tips given below, your helmet will not cause any harmful effects on the hair or scalp.

Wear your Helmet Properly:

As mentioned above, wearing a tight helmet will cause severe hair loss due to constant pressure on the hair follicles. So, whenever you buy a helmet, be cautious about the size and shape of the helmet. Make sure your hairs are not pulled when you wear your helmet.

Keep your Helmet Clean:

Clean your helmet regularly to keep it free of germs. Often the people clean it from outside but the hair is in contact of the inner part of the helmet so that, cleaning the helmet from insides is more important.

Do not use the Helmet when Hair is Wet:

Do not wear your helmet when you have just washed your hair. let your dry and only then think about wearing your helmet to prevent unnecessary hair pulling when the hair is wet.

If you do everything to keep your hair healthy but cannot keep yourself away from hair loss, it is the best idea to come to the Avenues clinic for a proper hair treatment in Ahmedabad because if the cause of the baldness is genetic, it is not possible to treat the problem without the help of a trained hair loss expert.
