Two studies found that hats don’t cause hair loss. However, wearing hats often can affect your scalp health. There’s no evidence that wearing a hat every day is bad. But if you can, it probably doesn’t hurt to switch up your hat routine, especially if your hats are tight, cause your scalp to sweat, or make your head itchy.

Your hair has a life cycle. One stage in this life cycle is shedding. So it’s very normal to shed hair every day. Your hair sheds throughout the day, including during brushing — and even sleeping. But hair loss can be particularly noticeable in the shower. What’s “normal” varies from person to person. How much hair you’ll lose in the shower depends on several factors, like hair density, hair thickness, and how often you wash and brush your hair.

There is a relationship between testosterone levels and hair loss, but it’s complicated. Low testosterone — such as that seen with aging — can cause hair thinning and hair loss on the face and the body. But male-pattern baldness (hair loss on the head) is actually linked to high testosterone levels. More specifically, a byproduct of testosterone called DHT. When DHT binds to hair follicles, it can cause them to shrink, which results in balding.

You can supplement your hair loss treatment with vitamins to boost results. Some OTC supplements may help you regrow your hair, but the research behind them isn’t very strong. It’s possible that collagen, biotin, vitamin D, zinc, and iron may help in certain situations. It’s best to speak with a medical professional before starting any supplements.

Studies don’t prove that scalp massages stimulate hair growth. But, that doesn’t mean scalp massages won’t work for some people. It’s possible that scalp massages may contribute to fuller and healthier hair by increasing circulation to the scalp, delivering more nutrients to hair follicles, and physically stimulating hair follicle cells to make healthier hair.

There’s not much science showing that supplements are effective for hair loss in men. But some that may help include saw palmetto and ashwagandha, along with combination products like Viviscal. Proven treatments, such as finasteride, work much better to help prevent male hair loss and promote regrowth. There’s also evidence for off-label treatments, such as oral minoxidil.

Topical minoxidil is an OTC treatment for hair loss that promotes new hair growth and thickens existing hair. Other proven treatments, like finasteride tablets, help prevent male hair loss and promote regrowth. There’s also evidence for off-label treatments, such as oral minoxidil. Both finasteride and minoxidil tablets require a prescription.

There’s no “best” shampoo for hair loss. That’s because the “best” shampoo depends on why you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning. Studies show shampoos with minoxidil, medicated dandruff shampoo, coal tar shampoo, and shampoos with natural ingredients like rosemary oil, can be helpful for different types of hair loss.
