Recent study has suggested that wearing a helmet or a cap is actully good for ur hair and it protects ur hair from dust, harmful sunrays etc. Ensure that the helmet that u are wearing is clean fits you correctly. It shouldnt be very tight nor too loose. If the hair loss continues do consult a hair specialist...

yesit may and also it depends on the helmet you wear... if its covered fully and tightly then it the heat produced in the head may lead to this problem..

They say wearing hats too often can result in hair loss. I could see the same being true if you wear a helmet alot. I guess the scarf would pull the sweat from your scalp, reulting in less blocked folicals..
