Male pattern baldness, which is mostly brought on by hormones and heredity, is unlikely to be directly exacerbated by a head injury, however it may result in temporary hair loss.

Rarely, significant head trauma can result in scarring alopecia, which can cause the affected area to permanently lose its hair.
