    Being Male human there must be a Hair Loss from the head portion due to Male Harmon Secretion(Beard/Mustache/Hair in chest & Thigh) as the age increase......It is a proven fact. There is no other-wise & nothing to be ashamed of.

    Every male human being have it....only things got notice when a person have small amount of hair inherit from their ancestor.

    Some of us questioned that our ancestors have more hair than me why I am not ? The reason is obviously they breath in more cleaner/greener world than us,Drink/Eat more pure food/balanced diet,Work in more tough condition where they use their body to loose more calorie than us & lived more tension free live than us.
    Our Dad,Grand pa's Job shift starts at Indians Time...but we sync with Germany/USA/Ausies time.


    I will ask my grand pa, How many time he ordered fast-food in his life time ? How many time he throw party in Donal Duck ? etc etc....

    Forget about hair loss...
    Maybe a years ago or so,
    I saw a scientific article in Andabazar Patrika (A leading news paper in bengali)that,

    Even sparm quality of today's male is inferior than their Dad, Grandpa of the same family.
    We are less manly than our ancestors.... Reason our lifestyle,food-habit & pollution.
    (Sorry can't provide the link as the website don't work other than IE & heard to find the article in Bengali fonts)


    Though humidity,Weight,Dust,Bonding & Heat in the hair make some extra effort too for loss...but it is negligible if you use a small scarf inside the helmet & keep it dry and clean.

        ya true... when i owned an RX-100 3-4 years before i rarely puts the helmet which is because i thought it will cause hair loss... but after that i realised the factor that it was a big mistake, coz while traveling in good speeds the hair in the forehead started falling and not only that my eyes became more of a red color and started itching etc... then i decided to test with a helmet...

        A good quality helmet save your head, hair, eyes etc. it is a myth that helmets cause hair loss... in my experience without helmet hair loss is more...
        if you are more concerned of hair loss(than a brain loss), then i would suggest you to stop biking...

              @Manohar_manu: We lose about 200 hair everyday. Its a known fact. But do what Aparajith says, you can only control the extent of hair loss. No possibility of preventing it.
              Riding is a way of life. Sometimes, it might also be a way of giving life. So Ride safe. In both contexts.

                Your genes (and maybe stress as well, all our netas are baldies aren't they..??) are more responsible for hair loss than your poor life saving helmet. The dust and pollution on our roads is probably worse for your hair.


                According to me, Helmets leading to hair loss is nothing but an Urban Legend.

                Even then, if one might be so concerned about a link between helmets and hairloss, here are a few pointers which might calm down nerves and still keep a lid over his head.

                1. Many helmets these days come with a removable and washable inner liner.. keep the inner liner clean by washing it in a month's time (if not every week)

                2. Wearing a Bandana before putting on the helmet (la Segwag / Ganguly style ) is another solution.




                First hair oil causes more loss cuz it sticks dust more easily causing fungal infections, wash your hair daily with a good shampoo and a medicinal shampoo once a week. Using hair oil is the biggest myth cuz nothing can penetrate your scalp....

                I agree with payeng its more of a genetic cause use a pair of caps under helmet and get em washed regularly like each week, wash the lining of your helmet once a month or more, if you do not do that even your head would smell bad. and to reduce hair fall keep short hair, the longer the hair, more weight they carry on ends and more brittle they are....

                I know this from experience cuz many of my friends have saved there hair and have consulted top trichologists.

                        Yes, we are less male... the estrogenic compounds we produce synthetically being the main suspect behind this cause. However, what you said is funny - if we are less male, then males should now sport a fuller mane...

                        I beg to differ. Would prefer to have my skull cracked rather than sport a bald plate...

                        That said, I do wear a helmet most of the time... and if anything, I feel it has protected my hair and eyes from all the grime, poullution and all...

                            utter crap! if u want a medical discussion regarding this take it offline..you mean to ppl who are bald have more body hair, cuz of testosterone its not the only reason.....

                                thanks guys.
                                From all the discussion,
                                I'v decided to do these things:
                                1) Keep hair short.( I have long straight hairs now)
                                2) Oil regularly before head wash.
                                3) Use natural shampoo.
                                4) Use balaclava from now on or scarf even for short rides.
