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.
