Hi,

Hair loss can occur after head injury. This condition is known as telogen effluvium where the hair enters into the telogen phase earlier than usual resulting in hair loss. This could also be alopecia if you have a positive family history of baldness.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist about it. Thanks
