Does penis size affect hair loss?

No, there is no direct scientific or biological relationship between penis size and hair loss. This is completely an urban myth.
The main causes behind hair loss (especially male pattern hair loss, or Androgenetic Alopecia) are as follows:
Genetic Predisposition: The genes you inherit from your family determine how prone your hair follicles are to hair loss.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) Hormone: An increased sensitivity of the hair follicles to DHT, a derivative of the hormone testosterone, causes hair loss.
The confusion here usually stems from the hormone testosterone. In society, people often piece together hearsay into a flawed chain of reasoning, such as, "A lot of testosterone affects penis size, and it also causes hair loss." In reality, however, the situation is as follows:
The total amount of testosterone in the body is not directly related to hair loss. What matters is how genetically sensitive your hair follicles are to the DHT hormone. Even someone with normal or low testosterone levels can experience hair loss if their hair follicles are genetically sensitive.
Adult penis size depends on genetic factors and hormonal development during puberty. It has no connection to the DHT sensitivity of hair follicles.
In short, whether someone's penis is long or short provides no clue about whether they will experience hair loss in the future. Hair loss is entirely determined by the genetic code in your scalp.
