If people always wear hats then they loose hair or it thins because it rubs or whatever... is this true with helmets? any way to stop it?

if you lose your hair, your getting old.
and it's time to face the facts, get a pair of slippers, a comfy chair, and start reading the daily telegraph.

Get a silk balaclava. Keeps your hair safe and comes in handy for cleaning your visor Laughing

It's all that testesterone. Don't try and blame it on the helmet Wink

Although keeping your hlemet on all day and riding in a stressful environment probably wouldn't help. Wink

You are going to hate my guts for this but.....

I'm 38, been biking over 20 years, over 15 as a courier and I still have a full head of hair. You would of thought that after wearing a skid lid for all these years I would be bald, well I just consider myself as one of the lucky ones.

Most men lose their hair, fact of life, I don't think helmets cause hair loss.

McJ has hair down to his ar$ecrack so that proves it's b*llocks. Laughing

Its either alopecia or genetic hair loss and it's unaviodable.

In fact, I think a good helmet rub would probably keep your hair on as it stimulates the surrounding blood cells Smile

I've got fook all hair to lose anyway, so I'm not worried in the slightest.

If you're worried about hair loss at the age of 16 on a 50cc bike then I should maybe start concentrating on other things. Like exams or girls? Laughing

I don't get the connection between being a courier and bad teeth. Someone explain

Actually it's cos you've got loads of testosterone and it makes you hair fall out. Which makes the 'full head of hair = virility' thing all rather bollocks. Smile

Anyway, sod baldness, I'm going grey! Neutral

As long as it's only the hair on your head why worry?

I'm not worried about the thought of no hair, no more haircuts. Thumbs Up
