Is wearing a hat everyday at work bad for my hair?

Wearing a hat or a head covering does not cause the scalp to be stuffy and cause male pattern hair loss.

Hello,
Wearing a hat normally will not increase your chances of balding/hair loss. This is generally considered a myth. However, if you wear your hat or ballcap very tight, there can be some damage to the underlying scalp/follicles. I would not worry too much about this. That being said, if you're losing your hair or have noticed shedding/hair loss/etc and if you have a strong family history of hair loss, it may be more likely that you have a higher propensity to lose your hair as well. This will not be due to wearing a cap daily but rather due to genetics as well as other factors such as androgen sensitivity. If hair loss is a concern, it's always a good idea to see a hair loss specialist to discuss further to educate yourself and empower you to make the right choices for your hair.

Wearing a hat will not cause hair loss. Just be sure that the hat fits well and is not so tight that it pulls on the hair.
