<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) exhibit a high content of heterochromatin. However, little is known about the functional importance of heterochromatin maintenance in MuSC homeostasis. Our study uncovered the role of the Hairless (Hr) gene in protecting the integrity of heterochromatin in MuSCs. We characterized the molecular function of Hr and demonstrated its role as an antagonist to Histone 3 Lysine 9 demethylases. Our work has implications for the importance of heterochromatin maintenance in stem cell function during aging.</jats:p>
