Helmet Hair Loss? Experts Reveal 'Traction Alopecia' & Prevention Tips

  • Hair loss from helmets is often due to 'Traction Alopecia', caused by constant pulling, pressure, and friction on hair follicles.
  • Tight helmets, sweat, heat, and oil accumulation irritate the scalp, weakening hair follicles and leading to hair fall.
  • Prevent hair loss by choosing a well-ventilated, correctly fitting helmet and wearing a cotton cap underneath.
  • Regularly clean helmet padding, ensure ventilation, and avoid tight hairstyles like ponytails with long hair.
  • Consult a dermatologist like Dr. Priyanka Hemarajani if experiencing hair thinning; 'Traction Alopecia' is treatable.
