After Playing Sports in Freezing Weather, I’m Seeing Hair Loss

Hello Doctor

I am a semi pro soccer player . Last week i had to play a couple of 90 minute outdoor games , running up and down in below zero temperatures and freezing north wind (no head cover allowed in soccer games ) . Ever since i think i notice more hair falling when showering or combing . Corellation or causation ? Permanent or temporary loss ?

I just returned from a trip from Antarctica. I didn’t notice any more bald people in the freezing weather down there. I do not believe your 90 minutes of soccer play and shower has any correlation with hair loss.
