Can wigs cause hair loss?

Sorry for the very medical and boring topic, but I have a feeling a few people on here will be way more knowledgeable than me on the topic. Can wigs cause hair-lose? I've had this wig for about four months, and it not really been a problem till about maybe a week ago when I noticed my hair was thinning. It not patchy, or any bald spots, but its clearly less full than it use to be. I've also been dropping weight for a solid couple months and that can also cause hair loss in some people. So I'm not sure if it one thing or the other.

While many people believe that wearing wigs or hats causes baldness, this is actually a MYTH! Wearing clean hats and wigs will not damage hair follicles as long as they are not too tight. If the hat or wig is too tight, it can result in Traction Alopecia

Yeah, I looked into it. Ha ha, so I'm all good. Turns out what I thought was hair loss was in reality just... my hair being flatter than usual. I don't wear hats, so I never really compress my hair. So it normally poufy, but after wearing a wig it flatter.
