Bike and helmet has nothing to do with hairloss. You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment.

Hello! Is your friend losing hair mostly in the front,top and the highest point(vertex) of his head? If so, he may have what s called Androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, the commonest cause of baldness in men. He needs immediate medical attention to arrest further hairfall and to help regain lost hair. He will also need a blood work up to figure out if there are any contributing nutritional factors to his hair loss
