A cap for preventing hair loss has a crown with protrusions extending from the concave surface of the crown. When the cap is placed on a user's skull at least one of the protrusions is aligned with a suture in the skull. Rubbing on the exterior of the crown at the locations of the protrusion will abrade excess bone growth or thickening on top of the suture thereby assuring circulation to the scalp to support hair growth.

A method of preventing hair loss comprising the steps of providing a cap which has a crown that defines a concave surface and the cap further having a protrusion attached to the concave surface and extending inwardly therefrom such that when the cap is placed on a user's skull the protrusion is configured to be aligned with a suture on the user's skull while all portions of the concave surface remote from said suture are free of anything extending from the concave surface and periodically abrading excess bone growth along the wherein the suture is at least one of a coronal suture, a sagittal suture and a lambdoid suture of the skull by rubbing the cap in the area immediately above the protrusion, wherein the suture is at least one of a coronal suture, a sagittal suture and a lambdoid suture. 11. A cap comprising a crown having a concave surface and at least one first protrusion extending inwardly from the concave surface, the at least one first protrusion being located such that when the cap is placed on a user's skull the at least one first protrusion is configured to extend from a first surpraorbital foramen upwardly and rearwardly along a first inferior temporal line of the user's skull, while all portions of the concave surface remote from said first inferior temporal line are free of anything extending from the concave surface. 12. The cap of claim 11 wherein the at least one first protrusion is configured to extend to a parietal foramen of the user's skull.
