Can you please enlighten me mga bro is it true ba na ang everyday wearing of helmet can cause baldness..:? I dont mean to offend anybody po ha..

peace po..:)

just want to have an idea and additional information about this cause i'm a bit worried din kase..

thank you and again peace po..:* :s

Naku Sir if this is true eh delikado pala ako!
I'm wearing my helmet atleast 2hrs daily!

i'm also interested in this issue, kindly enlighten us Sirs!

ride safe!

And I knew a twerp who doesn't wear a helmet. He didn't just lost most of his hair... if you know what I mean. ;)

Seriously, I don't think baldness and wearing a safety helmet have any connection.

Male pattern baldness is not due to the shampoo one uses or because of wearing a helmet, or hat, or because a person brushes or rubs his hair very often. On an average, a man loses 100 to 150 strands of hair every day, but most of this hair re-grows because the follicle remains healthy and intact. A typical adult head consists of about 150,000 hair follicles."

Can wearing a hat or helmet cause hair loss?

How often you wash your hair or with what type of shampoo, whether or not you have ever worn a helmet or hat, how you brush and comb your hair or rub your head have absolutely no affect on hair loss.

I think maybe it depends on the kind of helmet, maybe its possible if the helmet don't have any ventilation at all. Most helmets today have little ventilation opening for air to flow inside while at cruising speed.
Or maybe I am wrong ... one myth to be cleared again.:)

ano ba tlaga?sbi nla pg di nghelmet makakalbo k dn kc yng hangin dw sa anit lola nsa bndang bangs,pg ngsuot ka gnun dn?haaay dpat cgro balaclava n lng suotin ntin!hehehe!!

I think one of the main cause of baldness is genetics., it's in the blood. (please correct me if i'm wrong bros)
Take rossi for example., he spent most of his time running his bike but still has that thick curly hair :D

akala ko mababawasan ang pogi points ko! joke!!!

kailangan natin ang helmet for our everyday ride
so ride safe bros!

oo nga noh..:O he he he

anyways thanks sa mga reply niyo mga bro yung may mga idea pa jan about
this topic paki open na lang para maliwanagan po tayo lahat ..

salamat

up ko lang mga bro . .

i think no. any doctor/cosmetologist here who specializes in this field? pls enlighten us.

tatay ko ne'to lang nagsusuot ng helmet nu'ng nagmomotor na 'ko pero 'di pa man ako nagmomotor panot na tatay ko...

it's a common myth lang daw, yet i read somewhere that says:

"Continuous pressure on the scalp from a tight fitting helmet or other headgear worn every day can in some people cause permanent hair loss."

This is just a myth di naman hinahatak ng helmet mo yung hair mo to the point na nabubunot yung hair mo sa roots mismo,,,,,, yung barkada ko pagnakabigbike di nag hehelmet bakit panot bwehehehehehehe!

Yahahaha!
Pero ang belief kasi ay yung init na kulob sa loob ng tutok, hindi kaya nakamamatay ng hair roots?

Yep, baka nga sa mga ibang tao lang, kumbaga yung mga mahihina ang hair roots, madaling mamatay dahil sa kulob na init.

ako hindi na magtataka, lahi kc namin. :)

ganun ba talaga. i think because of heat gaya ng damo kapag natakpan ng plastic o kahit ano sa ibabaw

sus papaniwala kayo sa chismis...eh di sana kalbo na lahat ng users ng MCP...

kung nakakakalbo man, helmet pa rin ako kasi mahirap na may sugat ang ulo mo eh wala ka na ngang buhok...hehe

Yahahaha!

.

Mga bossing ganito lang po yan pag parati kang nabibilad ka sa init at walang takip ang yong ulo ang nangyayari po sa mga buhok ay ,,,,, KUMUKULOT ,,, kita mo naman yung mga bushman at mga africano sa disyerto:O !

Ngayon kung palagi ka ngang bilad sa araw at nakabalot naman ang iyong ulo iba naman po ang epekto,,,,, Humahaba at lumalago ang buhok ,,,,,, kita mo naman ang ARABO:O ,,,,,

nasa lahi po ang baldness. kung lolo at tatay mo kalbo malaki chances na makakalbo ka din..kahit hindi ka mag helmet. pero mas mabuti na makalbo wag lang mabagok ang ulo

yup its hereditary. walang kinalaman ang helmet sa pagkawala ng buhok ninyo.

Totoo po yung baldness due to helmet hindi naman po sa harap or sa gilid sa toktok po un! pasinin nyo mga scalp at anit natin mejo numinipis na main reason kasi ung head natin nakukulob sa helmet kung baga naiipit para din halaman ang buhok kung tumubo if u ever remind the studies about science ! marami nko riders na nakikita d naman kalbo-kalbo na ung bang numinipis ang buhok well remedy wla na just always takecare of your hair use shampoo! No offense po dito IMHO lang po meron ako killa nagpakalbo nlang at ngpatubo ulit ! Just my Opinion Peace tyo lahat

naku! mga moto GP riders makakalbo! kulot pa naman si rossi. he he he he!!!

yep, i agree, wearing a helmet does not cause baldness.

This is just a MYTH! one of the likely ALIBIS of riders who don't want to wear helmets...

Always ride safe...wear your helmets (on your heads..not in your elbows)

i believe that lossing hair is hereditary in nature, but then imho, medyo naapektuhan din ang mas madaming nalalagas na buhok than normal ang paghehelmet due to repeated wearing and unwearing of our helmet. medyo nahihila nung fabric ng helmet ang buhok natin ...:o

IMO Before nag inquire ako tungkol sa baldness one of the cause is this:

1. Sobrang init at pawis sa buhok
2. Cause of Dundruff
3. Sobrang Puyat
4. Sobrang Nag iisip na wala namang iniisip hehehe joke
5. Kulang sa Vitamin A
6. Sobrang Pamada or Gell
7. Nasa lahi ng pamilya

Well try to use some Alo Vera every night para pang contra just in case!

mag suot kaya ako ng mask? para hindi makadkad hair ko!
pero guys, mas gugustuhin ko ng mawalan ng buhok kesa mawalan ng ULO or magkalat ng brain sa daan!hehehe!

ride safe!

Ang pagkalagas ng buhok, kung hindi man sa lahi o ano mang inpeksyon sa anit o stress ay maari din po daw sa pagkabawas ng oxygen na natatangap ng anit pag nakahelmet ng matagal

Kaya mas maigi po yung helmet na may vents sa ibabaw na maaring makatulong sa pagpasok ng hangin sa anit ng ulo.:D

baldness aside from being hereditary, It can also be caused by poor blood circulation. thats why regularly combing your hair or massaging your scalp when you take a bath can prevent baldness kasi blood circulates better after. Notice hair (re)growth treatment focuses on improving blood circulation in the scalp and over all scalp health?

If you are wearing a hat/helmet all your life 24/7 (like a cowboy or like american indians) bloodflow is restricted. Pro 2hrs a day wont make you loose your hair that much basta massage mo lang scalp mo after removing the helmet.

another thing is 80% of your body heat escapes thru the head. if you restrict that by wearing hat or helmet your scalp will suffer and may increase hairloss but not very much.

I used to wear "Palos" hat everyday halos isang taon back in high school. Everybody said nakakalbo daw. I went to our family doctor and he gave me that explanation.

hindi naman po siguro nakakapanot kung laging naka-helmet..sabi po ng lolo ko nasa genes po un ng tao.. :)

hmm...tiyuhin ko nkalbo raw dahil sa kakasuut ng helmet at kung hindi nag momotot e nka cap naman xa..genes pwede rin kaso in his case e sa family namin e di naman kalbuhin mga lalaki sa amin..katunayan ang lolo ko e ang kapal pa ng buhok :D

Sana d nga totoo. Buti na lng Kalbo ako. hehehehe

di bale na kalbo...wag lang basag ang bungo :D :D

dba sa genes naku2ha ang pagkapanot?

di bale na kalbo...wag lang basag ang bungo :D :D
True 100%.:)

kung tototo man ito, sana kalbo na ako. 18 years na ako nagmomotor ang kapal pa rin ng bukok ka. kaya nagpa semi-kalbo ako. one more thing, its better to loose your hair than to loose your brain.

Ang alam ko... "IF YOU DONT USE A HELMET, BAKA MAHAWAAN KA NG SAKIT OR BAKA MABUNTIS, DIBA....?" Are we talking about the same thing ba?! :nuts: :banana: :nuts: :banana:

I once heard this story a few years back from another rider that every now & then that he shampoos his own semen on his head to to stimulate the hormones on the scalp to keep producing hair..... Bwahahaha!!!

I guess thats why they invented "Mane & Tail" siguro. Ano kaya ingredients nun? Those who use this product, feedback nyo?!?!?! :nuts:

tingin ko nman hindi nakaka-bald ang pagsu-suot ng helmet kasi until now kapal pa rin buhok ko!!! as in!!! hahaha!!! baka nga nakaka-pagpakapal pa!!!

@rev125,

sir ask ko lang my alam ka ba na mapagbibilhan ng sprocket ng 16t....???kung meron baka pwede ishare mo s kin....d2 lang ako sa santolan,pasig....

for me sir d best thing to do para d ka makalbo,bago ka magsuot ng helmet dry your hair and after that wear a skull balaclava para mejo malamig pati absorb un pawis.... and also dont forget to use a good shampoo and conditioner un matipid un jumbo...... hehehe joke lang po.......:) :) :)

2 hrs of wearing helmet in a day lang naman ako kung magsoot ng helmet. 45mins-1hr papuntang office in the morning and another sa evening when going home.

di naman ako nakakalbo pero napapansin ko nag-nipis ng konti yung hair strands ko. dati sa sobrang kapal nangangalisag at kelangan pa may konting gel. ngayon, konting oil (suave) lang manageable na. he he he he!!!.

ewan ko kung may negative effect nga sa hair ko yung pagsosoot ng helmet o baka naman im just ageing. ha ha haha!!!

pero kung gamit mo helmet mo for the rest of your duty (like mga messengers and other related work), eh baka baka nga maging cause ng baldness.

There are alot of myth regarding baldness when wearing a helmet. From the medical standpoint, the primary cause of baldness is by hereditary meaning it runs in your genes so to speak. Infection is another. Another one is that if the male testosterone level is high, its deposits lie on the hair follicles causing the roots to thin and easily be plucked out. another thing is through heat, sorry sir but i beg to disagree that most heat from the human body desipates through your head. Its the blood circulation that runs in the scalp that makes you feel like the heat is on top of you because the core temp of the body has its regulator. Now, everybody needs oxygen, but the oxygen from the hair does not come from what we thought about, from free air. Its what you inhale that provides oxygen throught the rest of your body via you blood circulation. compression of this blood vessel is another thing. Most heat from our body kasi desipates in the largest organ of our body, the skin. Imagine that your scalp also desipates heat. The temp from this area of our body cools down by emitting sweats. Kung sa scalp mo nangyari yun? with heat from a covered surface together with sweat, parang niluluto mo na ang buhok mo. Lastly, the hair strands are made mostly out of protein. and protein are easily destroyed by heat kaya sya nagninipis, kumukulot at madaling mapigtas. just my 2 cents.

my sentiments goes to your mom... but bro... there are no medical proof/connections that wearing hat or helmet can cause baldness..pls read again the older post ..

all guys out there!!! have you seen any motoGP riders that are bald??? they have this helmet most of the time... i was an outside plant engr.. for 6 yrs, 8hrs a day ako sa kalye with my hard hat, and i never felt/seen any changes from my hair.. in fact im losing some now.. while im working here inside the airconditioned room as net engr.. i never blame the aircon but the doctor told me that there are season where you lose some (many factors not related to hair cover), anyway you gain them naman without ever noticing it... this is an old myth...that needs to be forgotten..

ahh,baldness... so m i in deep s***?! 'been wearin' mine 2-3 hrs/day for three day now.

Sir, sa tingin ko part na po yan sa aging process. Minsan dahil sa stress o sa sobrang pag-iiisip.

sir kwento ko lang based on my experience. when i was younger mga nasa 20s ako i used to wear baseball cap kaso i notice na medyo numinipis na ang buhok ko dahil sa paggamit ko so someone told me na itigil ang pagsuot nito which i did, magmula noon d na ako nagbaseball cap, if ever i use it sandali lang sya gamitin. So far d pa naman ako kalbo although medyo numipis na sya. Im 40. isa pang nakakapanipis ng buhok is ang evryday use of shampoo kaya madalang nalang ako magshampoo, like twice a week nalang, although i believe na hereditary is also a big factor.:D

i think there is bro... in my case i always use baseball cap all the time which proven talga nakakabald i can also site kc montero (celebritiy/vj) who used cap all the time and now he's half bald kasi bata pa lang anyway hes still young pa naman. but, i can imagine more if hes riding bike and using helmet mas worst pa siguro. and now i observed my top hair is getting thinner i am sure because of my helmet. i don't know... im just considering the fact that its for my safety... di bale kalbo... kesa dugo ang ulo...
