Does hair “need to breathe” Will wearing hats toupees or wigs encourage hair loss?
That doesn’t necessary to hair need to breathe. When wearing hats or wigs it will tight your hair up and it can cause hair loss.
Hair does not breathe. The only part of the hair that is alive and taking oxygen, is the part that is attached to the scalp and it receives all the oxygen it needs from the blood supply. Wigs, toupees and hats can cause problems but only through being to tight and causing breakage through friction.
