Head Coverings are Not Bad for Your Health

As the commenter to my last post writes, there may be more evidence that wearing head coverings and other skin coverings is healthful, rather than bad for you. Vitamin D from the sun is good; skin cancer from too much sun exposure is bad.

Also, wearing head coverings does not make your hair fall out faster. Check this report, from "Authoritative Content : Stop Hair Loss from Sucking the Life Out Of You", regarding misconceptions about hair loss:

* Hairs need to breath. Wrong again. Individual hairs get their oxygen supply from the scalp. Hair will not be damaged by wearing wigs, hats or other head covering unless any of those are too tight on the head.

Not meaning to be testy, of course. I'm just saying.
