Can wearing a headset cause hair loss?

Bro, if you game for 8 hours straight with a tight headset, the constant friction can pull out some hair from the top. Just adjust the band so it's a bit loose, or switch to normal earphones.

I kept blaming my office headset for my hair fall, ignoring the fact that I was severely vitamin deficient. By the time I saw a doctor, I had lost a lot of volume. Please get a proper blood test done instead of just blaming the headset.

Yes, it is called traction alopecia from constant pulling and pressure. I solved this by wearing my headset slightly further back on my head and changing my hair parting every few days. Also, take short breaks every hour.

My smartwatch alerts me to take a screen break every 50 minutes, which is also when I take off my heavy headset. This gives my scalp some breathing room and avoids sweat buildup. Tracking your screen time really helps!
