Hair loss while wearing the helmet?

[Guest guest]

Hi

My son has been in his helmet for over 16 weeks now and I've noticed

that some of his hair has worn away, probably from rubbing against the

helmet. I am wondering if anyone has had any permanent hair folicle

damage? He has never had a heat rash (I was warned to watch out for

this) but his little head gets so sweaty, his hair is sometimes

plastered wet to his head when I take it off for a break. Can this be

harming his hair folicles?

thanks for any information,

Marina

My daughter lost nearly all her hair under the band and kept it at the

top where the band is open giving her kind of a mohawk look. Now that

it has all grown back, I can't tell any different between the area

where the band was covering her head, and where it wasn't. She does

have kind of crazy hair with enough curl to make it messy, but not

quite curly all the time, but i think that is just her hair. No change

as a result of the helmet. She lost it all after about 1 mo in the

band, and it started growing in after that. It was back to normal a

few months after the band was off.
