Hair loss can be scary and cause a lack of confidence during daily styling and in your every day appearance. Our hair follicles naturally go through growing, transition, shedding and resting phases but there are times where your hair shed may feel more excessive than usual.

If you have felt like your hair is thinner than usual as of late and since 2020, I have some information for you that may be helpful.

Have you ever had Covid, long Covid, had it multiple times or had it recently?

Well, there is a such thing as “Covid Hair Loss.”

Now, I used to define “Covid Hair” as the condition of my client’s hair when salons reopened (post pandemic) and clients returned. My definition was based on the fact that many women had no idea what to do with their hair while salons were closed so they returned to us hairstylists with very damaged hair, hence the term “Covid Hair.” 

However, it has been found and I’ve personally witnessed, that a symptom of this virus in some cases IS hair loss. 

This type of hair loss is temporary and it’s called Telogen Effluvium.
