COVID Hair - What is COVID Hair?

COVID hair is the condition and the after-effects of the COVID virus. The virus affects people differently, and some of the longer-term effects are the loss of hair. 

Typically you could see

  • Hair loss 6-10 weeks after having COVID 19.
  • Double to triple your average hair loss. Usually, ordinary people lose between 100 - 150 strands per day.
  • Hair loss could last 6-9 months after the virus.
  • You will probably notice hair loss when washing or styling your hair.

Why is my hair falling out after conquering COVID 19?

The AAD (American Academy of Dermatology) reminds us that high fever with illness and stress are the common causes of hair loss. The term telogen effluvium is the hair loss associated with stress. Good RX released data stating that cases of telogen effluvium have increased over 400% since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic. Telogen effluvium is temporary, your hair will regrow; usually, the hair growth process takes 3 to 6 months.
