People sometimes attribute restricted blood flow to the scalp as a reason for hair loss at the crown. So, in addition to wearing hats and tight buns/ponytails less frequently, daily scalp massages or treatments like microneedling may improve blood circulation.

There are several possible causes of hair breakage at crown. One common cause is tight hairstyles that pull on the hair. Over time, this can lead to the weakening of the hair follicles and increased breakage. Another potential cause is damage to the scalp, which can occur due to conditions like psoriasis or eczema.
