I've heard not wearing hats, washing hair...anybody know of any truths?
Answer:There are plenty of myths, just walk into any pharmacy and have a look at the hair loss shampoo's.
The only scientifically proven medication to resist balding is a drug called propecia. Even this is not a cure, but it does slow, and in some cases completely stop balding, with very little side effects.
You need to speak to your doctor if you want to get some though.
balding is inherited from your parents...
Ancient Egyptian men never went bald. They shave their head all the time all the time and get enough sunlight and Vitamin D so their scalp is always healthy. Thats one myth I read in books. But then again, since they barely have any hair, you'll never know if they actually went bald or not.
Hope that your mothers side of the family isn't bald that's were it comes form
