Common Hair Loss Myths in Malaysia
Quick answer: Common myths include that wearing caps causes baldness, washing daily makes hair fall out, and shaving makes hair grow thicker. Normal cap use and washing are not known causes of pattern hair loss, and shaving does not change follicles. If you are worried, get an assessment rather than relying on rumours.
Caps and helmets
Normal use is not a known cause of pattern hair loss; very tight gear rubbing daily may stress hair.
Washing
You see hairs that were already shed.
Miracle products
Be cautious of big claims. See Rogaine Malaysia and hair doctor Malaysia.
