If I Use My Head Too Much: 

In some cultures, it is believed that an individual that uses their brain too much or those that have had head injuries may be at risk for baldness. 

This Hair Loss Myth is one that is thought to have been founded because the brain is located inside the head and therefore they are directly related.  Of course, this is not true.  This is even evident in many movies where the ‘dumb’ one is bald.

Bald Men Are More Sexually Active:

The myth probably comes from the fact that in some individuals, the removal of androgens through castration can prevent baldness and may even stop it from progressing further than it has.
