I do not have experience with Elmer’s Glue mixed with hair gel and don’t know if there would be any effect on hair loss. I haven’t had a spiked mohawk since… well, actually, never. With respect to your last question, any regular hair products should not cause hair loss (unless they advertise that it does). […]

It is a cruel fate of nature for some of us to lose hair at such young age. While I cannot comment on every supplement and their efficacy on hair growth or loss, sometimes the cause of hair loss can be related to increased androgens (example: testosterone) in your body. Drugs like finasteride (Propecia) work […]
I do not like to give recommendations for how to manage drugs that are not the way the manufacturer engineered it to be. If I were to guess, I would keep any pills in a humidity free container if I were to do what you do. Sports are not harmful for your hair. In fact, […]
There is a point where traction alopecia develops when there is enough pull on what you are doing. Some people are also pickers and as they pick out their hair they also develop alopecia (alopecia means hair loss). When this happens it is called trichotillomania (obsessive compulsive disorder).
Pimples in the scalp generally do not cause hair loss unless infection gets out of control. You need to see a good dermatologist to control them, for that is no way to live.
Many drugs can potentially cause hair loss. Most of the times scientists cannot find the exact mechanism of why this happens. Likewise, scientists cannot find the exact cause of hair loss either, because there are so many different factors involved. I have three important points to make with regards to medications causing hair loss: Before […]
Sleeping late and the build-up of sebum should not impact hair loss. Many times I use the example of the homeless people that live on the streets that rarely wash their hair (both men and women). You probably do not see all of them balding, despite the probable massive build-up of sebum. There is too […]
Yes, a tight bandana can cause traction alopecia. Many Sikhs have hair loss from the turbins they use throughout the adult life. I have even seen 13 year olds who have been wearing turbins with complete traction alopecia and no side or frontal hair left. These tight turbins can produce hair loss in a relatively […]
In 2003, I appeared on MTV’s Big Urban Myth show to dispel this myth. Wearing a beanie or cap for many hours a day for many years probably will not cause hair loss. This is an old wives’ tale that has been around for a long time. Many men wear hats to cover their balding, […]
I am not certain of the specific mechanism causing hair loss by Accutane. The package insert of Accutane stated that this drug may lead to alopecia, but it was rare. Accutane causes dry skin, skin fragility, erythematous rash, vasculitis, and decreased red blood cell formation which may contribute to hair loss. In general, Accutane may […]
If you are a Norwood Class 1-2, this is not balding, but
When you read the insert on most drug information packages, hair loss is mentioned in almost every one. I tried to do some internet searches, but alas, the number of drugs appear substantial. If you are looking up lithium, in particular, just go to Google. Hair loss is a known side effect of lithium.
Clogged pores is an old wives tale and does not cause hair loss
Can you please expand on what you mean by saying hair transplants accelerate balding, especially in younger men? Thank you Younger men often don’t see their final pattern, but it is often there if they look through a hand microscope and see a lot of miniaturization present. A hair transplant causes many of these miniaturized […]
