No, weightlifting doesn’t usually lead to hair loss. Research suggests there’s no link between high-intensity exercise and androgenetic alopecia [13]. However, some practices associated with weightlifting may have an impact on your hair. Certain anabolic steroids have been linked with hair loss. In addition, research into creatine and hair loss suggests creatine may heighten DHT levels (though this isn’t necessarily likely to lead to hair loss) [14]. Whey protein and hair loss studies suggest these supplements may accelerate hair loss in those already experiencing MPB [15].
