COVID Hair Loss

What is COVID hair loss?

We are all still learning about the consequences of COVID-19 on the body. It is an aggressive virus which can cause damage to the whole body, including new evidence from hair specialists, dermatologists and the press to suggest that some people have experienced hair loss after COVID. 

COVID is known to impact the hair, gut and skin and can result in excessive hair shedding. Your immune system has been fighting the virus or stress and strain and as a result hair has been deprived of essential vitamins and minerals, contributing to hair shedding. As well as recovering from COVID, many people have been under severe psychological strain during the pandemic causing fear, panic and worry which can lead to hair thinning.

The International Association of Trichologists has identified two different types of hair loss due to COVID: diffuse hair loss and alopecia areata. If you suffer from these conditions, then you might feel exhausted by the virus or emotional strain due to the pandemic and may be experiencing distress at hair loss due to COVID. 

On the other hand, temporary hair shedding, or chronic Telogen Effluvium (TE) can be activated by infection, shock, trauma or medication. Telogen Effluvium typically begins 2-4 months after a triggering event. Your hair loss may seem more severe in some areas of the scalp than others. This is an incredibly upsetting situation, experienced by both men and women alike.

What Does Covid Hair Loss Look Like? 

Covid related hair loss can look different for everyone, while some people have reported severe hair loss as a result of covid, others have just noticed an overall impact on the condition of their hair, leading to thin, prone to breakage strands. Both of which can be distressing but it's important to recognise that while supplements cannot cure covid hair loss, they can help to manage and prevent symptoms occurring. 

However, don't feel discouraged, while we're still learning about ways to manage these symptoms, ensuring you have a nutrient dense diet and incorporating natural treatments designed for hair growth will work to nourish your scalp and hair follicles which will be vital to rebuilding your hair strength over time.   Want to understand more about covid hair loss, download our FREE ebook with our guide to recovering from covid, covering skin concerns, digestion issues and hair loss after covid. 

Others Suffering from Post Covid Hair Loss

There have been hundreds of men & women struggling with covid hair loss in the last few years, Joyce & Angela were among those suffering and were devastated when they started losing hair post-covid. 

"I noticed my hair was falling out by the mounds. In the shower, on my sheet, on my clothes, by the handful! I was afraid to wash my hair."

"I google hair loss from Covid and the Simone Thomas Wellness page came up and I though - I'm going to give it a try. I'm so happy that I did. Within about 5 days of taking the Ginkgo Hair Care Plan that was recommended by Simone, I noticed hardly any hair falling in the drain of the shower or hair shedding in my brush! I couldn't believe it."
