Can Sleep Position Cause Eyebrow Hair Loss?
Hello Dr,
Is it true that the position you sleep (i.e on your face or side) can cause hair loss in your brow? I have heard this before and was wondering if its an old wives tale or if its true? I know a few people who have sworn this is the case with them, and want your expert opinion as a hair loss specialist. Thanks!
I’ve never seen eyebrow hair loss from sleeping on your face before, nor have I even heard of this occurring. It probably is an old wives’ tale, but I’m open to ideas others might have about this.
interesting… never thought of it that way, though i often sleep on my stomach or sidewards and either tied back or spread it over my pillow, cause i often wake up that i’m lying in my hair and tug me hard, and that causes hair fall too… but, yeah, never thought about the eyebrow… haha
I heard that hair loss was a result from pillow. I bought a body pillow to try and keep me in a good head laying position. But finding out more I do not think that it was ever a result of hair loss.
