The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
I heard from someone at the hospital that I work at that the
reason many men have receding hairlines is that they wear
baseball caps quite often and that the constant pulling off of
these caps over the years can cause the man to pull out his hair
in a way that it will not ever grow back in the forehead area.
