Do you wear a hat?

[keegs]

The Mrs. bought me a hat for my birthday a few months back, the kind George Utley wore on the Newhart show, red plaid wool with the bow knot tied on top. I've taken to wearing it on our weekend walks with the dog...it does the job. In winter I usually put something to the noggin, a hood or a wool cap of some kind but usually brimless.

Its rare that I be seen without one. In the summer it a ball cap or a straw hat, winter its my beaver hat. I get a tan line across my forhead from being outside in the sun with a hat on.

My daughter got me a cap for Christmas. As I have gotten older, I wear a brimmed hat in the summer and often some sort of cap in the winter, when I was younger I rarely wore one.

I have to where a hat since I'm outside a lot it would take mere minutes before the dome became burnt.

I wear a ventilated Hat when out doing tractor work or gardening, and maybe on occasions I'll wear a smokers hat when going out somewhere fancy, But not much on everyday wearing them, simply because I think they make you prematurely loose hair, Back in the '90s I worked a young man was in his mid 20's, He always wore a cap, he had long hair hanging out from all around it ,one day on the way to work he was setting in the rear seat of truck , I happen to get a glimpse of him through the rear view with his hat off while scratching his head, I was amazed on How Bald his head was on top when having so much hair hanging out, Needless to say he carried a nickname of Baldy from that day on ....... How many of you can relate to this? and is it due to wearing a hat/cap?

Hard to say....early twenties oftentimes is when folks predisposed to it might begin balding. I remember in the service we had to wear ball caps all the time. Made my hair get greasy quicker but I still got most of it all these years later.

I think it is common belief that wearing a hat causes baldness but only because most bald guys wear a hat. I have read that wearing a hat doesnt cause you to loose hair. Heredity is major cause. Stress is another reason hair falls out but normally will grow back when cause of stress is remedied. One of my daughters hair started falling out in clumps and doctors diagnosed it as stress related. We found out that she was stressed out from school and once that was reduced her hair came back rich and thick as ever. The heredity doesnt always take on every sibling either. I am pretty lacking in hair on top but brother has plenty. One of my sons is fairly bald but other one is thick with hair. Come to think of it, the bald one has always worn hats while the one with hair never did.
