Does driving fast cause hair loss?
I’ve read that driving fast can cause higher blood pressure, but I’m worried about some other effects. Male-pattern baldness runs in my family, but I’ve been able to stave it off so far. I just worry that my need for speed may contribute to hair loss. Does driving too fast cause you to lose your hair?

While driving fast can definitely increase your stress levels and raise your blood pressure, driving fast does not cause hair loss. Just think of NASCAR drivers. How many of them do you see with the classic horseshoe hair pattern? Probably not many.
What you’re referring to may have come from a popular meme based on The Fast and the Furious movie franchise. If you’re a
movie fan
, you’ve probably seen one or more of these films.The meme came from a picture of cast members sitting in front of a row of cars. In the picture, you see several actors that are bald (or at least bald in the movie), including:
- Vin Diesel
- Dwayne Johnson
- Tyrese Gibson
- Jason Statham
After the release of this promotional picture, some comedic soul put the caption of Did you know? Driving fast causes hair loss on it. And that’s the origin of this hilarious notion.
Driving fast may not cause hair loss, but paying too much for car insurance will certainly make you want to pull your hair out. Don’t let this happen to you. Instead of springing for the Rogaine, just find more affordable car insurance options by using the
