I had Covid for about 90 days till I finally got the zpak and it took it away...This was back in the beginning of 2020...It’s now February of 2021 and my hair is noticeably thin. I am hoping this means I am at the end of the hairloss and I’m just now noticing it. But holy crap it’s so thin!

It comes back, I took a vitamin called nutrafol that stopped the shedding and now it’s coming in, it takes a really long time though.

I had low grade fever one day bad headache loss of smell and taste. My husband had it worse , so I did worry about him , so it could have been stress from that and stress from the virus , but my hair is growing back. And filling in slower than I would like but I am starting to feel relaxed about it. Dermatologist said it’s called telefilm effluvium, temporary hair loss from a stressful event ,

I just started to lose my hair last week it’s soo scary I was sick from Covid in feb

@@christinecammarata7231 I'm freaked out!!!😢😢😢

Look into cell salts, specifically Silicea. I too am trusting the LORD and looking to the natural remedies. I felt very depleted after my bout with Covid last month and I asked our Father to lead me in what to do. I felt this inner wisdom spring up that I need to focus on replenishing my trace minerals and drink lots of water. I came to learn about the importance of these basic salts in our bodies. One theory is some people types burn through the cell salt #12, Silicea, in particular during times of stress; Silicea in our bodies helps maintain our healthy hair growth so it makes sense that depleting our reserves could potentially have something to do with the hair loss. I’m personally taking all twelve of the cell salts in a combined formula called Bioplasm from Hyland’s homeopathic to help restore my electrolytes and hopefully encourage cellular repair throughout my whole system. I am also taking bone broth with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar daily. Additionally, I’m planning to make myself a great big pot of borscht and freeze daily portions as I felt directed to do that as well to restore the health of my cardiovascular system since I have also been experiencing heart palpitations since Covid (which I’m told are generally harmless but are, nevertheless, unsettling.) Praise our Lord! He has given us all we need in His marvelous creation. He is able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus. Seek and we will find.

Amen 🙏🏼

Thank you for this. I needed it

Amen🙏

This is exactly what I just prayed and I too am believing for please keep me in your prayers ladies for 100 fold restoration. I lost my mom in December I had covid in December I have 2 full size ziplock bags of hair Im keeping for my testimony 🙏

I blame them to!! It's like they want to take away everything that makes us happy. First you lose your smell. Then you lose your taste. Then, for me, I ended up in the hospital 7 days! And now, all my hair is falling out!! I think there is a special place in hell for the doctors who created this virus!

Did you get your hair back .. please tell I m really facing this noww.. please tell

@@Knowledge_quest_hub, The shedding process has finally stopped after almost six months thank goodness!! I’m taking biotin and collagen it’ll take close to a year to a year and 1/2 to see results. Hang in there it’ll stop...😊

@@suzieburnette1677 thanks 😊

@@suzieburnette1677 If your hair shed for six months did you still have any on your head? I had covid the end of august. Not a horrible case (no hospitalization) but it was like a bad flu, I was in bed for a week, and it was hard to shake the fever. So a couple weeks ago I notice tons of hair coming off in the shower….I always had some, but this was insane. If this keeps up, I worry I will be bald. People online say don’t use rogain because if you start you have to continually use it….if you stop, the shedding comes back. But according to the doctor, the shedding may only last six months. I wonder if you could just use rogain for six months and then if the cycle is over, if you go back to normal? One video recommended a rosemary rinse. Idk, I don’t want to spend a lot of money on things that won’t work. I’m also wondering if I should color it (I’m 48 so about every 8 weeks I would color it). Maybe I should just get a wig! Lol.

Is it better now? Do your hair start to grow back as the doctor said? I really wish you all the best.

Me too

@@jimaharirchian3166 meto

I ONLY GOT THE FIRST DOSE,NOW MY HAIR AND BROWS ARE FALLING OFF🥲

Me too

So much hair falling out since my second vax :( i have female baldness now wtf fuck this

I was one of the first ones with this hair loss from covid March 2020 , and I am familiar with telegen effluvium and told the dr I think it’s from covid and he just shrugged his shoulders, well fast foward my hair has thinned came back in , but it’s still doing that…. Most woman don’t go on as long as me , but maybe the virus was at its strongest back then , but hang in there everyone ♥️

Got covid last September man, and yeah after 3 months it started to shed. That was last December. It's crazy that every friend who saw me is telling me- your hair looking thinner and thinner. The other one suggested to go see a derma cuz she's to worry but as u say- they don't believe. Glad there are things like this on KZfaq talks about this thing and u can finally stop wondering why are we experiencing this. In my case, I was the only one experiencing this hair loss-my friends who also got covid first never experienced this, as well as my siblings so nobody takes me seriously. They all blame it's bcoz of bleaching. Eh? I know when did this start. It started late november. I have split hair dye-and the other side is black(virgin hair)- it also shed a lot so.. How can bleached affect that side? As for now I will wear wig cuz I couldn't take seeing my thinning hair. I will wear it till my hair finally comes bck.

@@hakimexo29 My stylist said about 80% of her clients have experienced hair loss the past to years with the pandemic (including myself). Your body looks at your hair as not critical to survival. Color/bleach is not penetrating your scalp & it’s not going to contribute to hair loss. Rosemary Oil can help promote a healthy scalp which is important to promote growth. Beware of Minoxidil as once you start using it, hair loss will resume once discontinued so you get stuck using it indefinitely. I think it was irresponsible for the dermatologist in this news story to freely promote the use of it when each individual should research Minoxidil & talk to their doctor first. Irresponsible reporting IMO. Wishing you well as we both patiently wait for our hair to grow back

My neck is hurting too but I haven't heard it could be related to covid.

How is it now?

@@SP-wn6im It finally stopped falling out in December. I did end up loosing most of my hair. It looked even worse after I washed it. I didn't go bald but my scalp was very visible so I started to wear hair covers. I work in surgery so wearing a hair net most the day helped hide it. It is now growing back and very quickly I might add. I am using black seed oil, (vitamin) to regrow it and it is making a huge difference so much so that people are now commenting on how much my hair has grown back in such a short time. It is hard to stop hair fall out once it starts so I had to be patient and let it run its course. Now I'm just waiting patiently for it the new growth to catch up with the hairs that were left. Gonna be a few months as I had long, much thicker hair. I'd say in 6 months, it'll be mostly back to normal. Check out that black seed oil though. Works great.

@@JenniferSmith-lu5cn what vitamins did you take? Please share.

try micro-needling, you will be surprised how well it works very cheap no drugs or surgery

Same.. And I wasn’t really stressed when I had Covid. Literally half of my hair came out 3 months after

How’s your hair now?

Is you hair back to normal now? I just started losing mine for a month already....

Me too! It's real

They poisoned us

@@pennycooks1389 That Kool-Aid and reheated nothing burgers is what poisoned you.

@@larrysmac Its real even doctors here have had hair loss from it dont live in the dark come out and see the light, brainwashed by the poison in those injections you took

@@pennypetrovic3682 LOL...Triggered tin foil hat stupidity loses again. Bye bye.

try micro-needling you have nothing to lose no drugs no surgery very cheap and most of all it Works

Did you get the vaccine is this a side effect of coronavirus itself or is it the vaccine 💉?? If it’s the vaccine why is this not talk about before injection

@@urielgonzalez9212 yes vaccine also causes hair fall

Omg me to I went through exactly what u went through I had blond hair my family said it was from bleaching your then I went and change the color and still was losing hair and I knew it wasn’t cuz of bleaching it was cuz of Covid no one believe me when I told them it was Covid 🥺😞

This is the same with me, I had it in Feb-April 2020 and my hair I am just now noticing it’s extremely thin! I’m freaking out!!!! I am praying it stops! It’s only in the front sides, and the top that it’s super noticeable. I have a lot of baby hairs, but I am like 9 months in now. I hope it’s near the end for me!

@@EJ-os6bw , I hope somebody figures how to help us all soon! This is maddening... I hope u feel OK and have more good days than bad days 🤗 (hugs)

I also was sick in March, lost about 60% , saw the dermatologist , suggested nutrifol hair vitamin formula, i won’t do chemicals so I took it for three months it stopped the shedding, right away ...and now my new growth has filled in, 30% so far, revisited the dr and she said do another 3 months on the vitamin to continue the growth , it’s pricey, but worth it, also dr said the new hair will not fall out when I stop taking the vitamin.

Hang in there sue , mine started in April and regrowth is about 3 inches now. I know it’s slow ... I took nutrofol it stopped the original hair from falling out but , the new hair is in much better condition. I am still just pinning it up till the new hair gets longer before I can get a styled haircut.

@@christinecammarata7231 I'll have to look into that...I pin up my hair too for now... husband just asked me why I don't style it a certain way anymore...lol... well duh...those spiky 3 inch growths stick straight up! 😆

Hi Joyce, I had covid in December and I went through hairloss in March and into April. I lost 20 lbs within about two weeks. I was able to stand in front of the sink and rub my hair as if though I were shampooing it, and hundreds of hair would fall off. It continued to happen for a couple of weeks, but it wasn't until May or June that I noticed a lot of the new growth. It is now back to normal and wavy as it has been in the past. I think the sudden shock of covid taking over your body, malnutrition, and covid treatment is the result of sudden hairloss. The last two remaining symtoms were fatigue and anxiety.

Exactly same here. I had the Delta variant beginning of August.. honestly I did not think much of it.. one day fever and body pain, then next days a bit of coughing, that was it basically. Was back to normal super fast. Then a week later the loss of taste and smell started.. but I did some tricks and that came back after 2-3 days.. How shocked was I when my hair started falling out in clumps now in October. This whole month now every day it´s falling, not easing up at all, every day am losing what must be thousands of hairs. From all the hair that fell out I could make several long hair wigs that much I am sure. I already doubled my protein intake but no difference whatsoever. Thanks God I have a lot of hair to begin with so whenever I say something people look at me and tell me I am being ridiculous, even my bf was doing the same. Then I showed him the amount that comes out in a day now he does not say "it´s all in your head" anymore, he actually said "holy sh*t" when he finally understood the amount of hair I am losing. Can´t believe how people don´t even believe you when you are going through something so traumatic just because you still have hair left on your head. I am not someone who complains easily but this has me so worried. In the beginning did not even connect it with Covid, thanks to some online research only I figured out that this happens to a lot of people after the virus. At least now I am a bit less worried as for almost all hair does grow back, it´s just part of the natural hair cycle. Nonetheless it´s a miserable feeling to see it falling out in such insane amounts, have never experienced this before to such an extent, really not a nice feeling. And you don´t even have to do anything, just touch it and your hands are full of hair. Or in the morning on the pillow. Not that I am pulling on it or anything. Real crazy. Just hope it settles soon else I guess I will have to go shopping for a wig :-(

@@IloveCamels335 Lol, this covid thing takes your breath, appetite, hair, cognitive abilities, and on and on, but it does give it back to you in the same slow fashion it takes it away. Good luck!

@@josephgarcia2979 Yes it sure is a weird thing 😜 Thank you 🙏🏼

@@IloveCamels335 I had covid the end of august and noticed the clumps of hair in the shower a couple weeks ago. Did not talk with this was an issue with covid. I didn’t have thick hair before, but ti wasn’t thin either, just average. And I was thinking today, I am going to have to buy a wig….if it keeps falling out like this, I am going to be bald.

Exactly I’ve had a million times worse stress

Did your hair grow back?

Good to know! Thank you!

@@tatzja8074 I put the ginger turmeric root tea in a spray bottle and spray my scalp twice a day and it is really helping. Much easier than using cotton balls. 🤞🏼

So right!! I have (HAD) extremely thick hair and 3 months after having covid, had massive shedding....you could see through my hair! I lost about 50% of my hair from 2/1-3/4!!! Just one month! I believe I would have lost the rest within weeks! I shaved it all off last night because it was more depressing having it fall out all day long. I can move on now :)

@@angicaples I'm experiencing the same! Has your hair recovered now??

@@kedargurjar7373 My hair is starting to grow back! In the areas where I lost the hair, I have very short hairs, 1/4" or less. BUT, it looks to be coming in just fine and looks thicker by the day. I can't see my scalp anymore!!! I am taking Biotin every day and I use a shampoo and conditioner by Monat. Best of luck with yours!

@@angicaples Thanks a lot mate for replying! Your update helps and gave me a confidence that it'll grow back. Also it would be awesome if you let me know , for how much period the shedding phase continued for you.

@@kedargurjar7373 I noticed my hair shedding around the end of January/First of February....I'd run my hand through my hair and about 20 strands would be on my fingers and my brush was filling up. By the first of March, I'd lost probably close to half of my hair and then I shaved it off. A few weeks later when I was getting tiny hair growth, I could see the areas where my hair had fallen out because nothing was growing there. Since I shaved my head, I don't know how long I would have kept losing it. By the end of May, I can see that all of my hair is growing back. The areas where I lost it, are at about 1/4" but are growing back full. When I got Covid in November, I was extremely sick. I lost 32lbs in about 2 weeks. That's probably why I lost so much hair in such a short amount of time. I read that the shedding could take about 3-4 months. I would have been bald by month 2 if I hadn't shaved my head. Just felt good to take control of the situation!

Did you get them back?

Same

@Chelle MNB I’ll for sure schedule an appointment with my doctor! Its been more than a year since postpartum hair loss and Covid. I’ve noticed that my hair is even thinner. Sometimes it feels thicker and you can see baby hairs growing like crazy but then it stops and my hair thins out even more than before.

I'm same and worried sick

I EXPERIENCE THIS AND I HAD COVID 2 MONTHS AGO

Are you better now?

@@gaming2121 YES! Thank you for this! I'm ready for a new beginning! Now i just need to learn how to code..... ugh lol thank you for caring @gaming

How’s you hair journey going? I had covid in July and in October started my hair loss which hopefully stops soon , how long does shedding last ?

ME TOO I HAD LONG HAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS IT TOOK YEARS TO GO. Its all gone now since the second vax i have female pattern baldness now wtf

Sending hugs to you Lydia , just keep in mind that the hair loss from covid is called telegin effluvium, the stress on the body from the virus , causes and interruption in the hair growth cycle , knowing that , you can’t try ashwagandha for the stress , I used nutrafol for 6 months to hold onto the hair a little longer while the new growth was coming in. Hang in there , it was a process 🥰

Same from my second vax they wont let me go to school without it. Im livid im going bald.

Yes it's true after taking that damn vaccine I'm aslo experience this its only becoz of vaccination I never had covid before

You’re the ONLY one I’ve seen say how long the shedding lasted. Thank you ! It would be a help if more would do the same.

Forgot to mention my dads dad also has a full set of hair and he’s 67

I'm praying it gets back to normal, try not to stress about it. I'm also going through the same exact thing and it's so devastating

Beverly, how long did your shedding last ?

A little over 3months

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

@@kellytrawick897 ur welcome , I will be praying for you, stay strong in the Lord,this to shall pass

Beverly George That is so very sweet and I thank you and welcome your prayers 🙏🏼

I’m with you. The rate it’s falling out is sickening. Mines been falling out for about a month, it’s noticeable when I pull my hair back. I’m so worried about how bad it will be after months of this.

@@brandyfolse4188 Praise The Lord, eventually it will stop, I went through losting of the hair last year, it's is growing back

Praise The Lord, just hang in there, eventually it will stop , I lost over half of my hair, thank God all the bald spots done filled in , now waiting on the length

@@beverlygeorge3121 Thank you Beverly, I’m hopeful that mine will start coming back, especially since so many of us are experiencing the same thing.

Same, it's so alarming but I'm trying so hard not to think about it because it will just become worse

Over 2 years for me. Same for the chronic fatigue, 'brain fog,' etc.

I think so too, I have been going through this for 16 mo. And the hair that grew back is very fine... but I am great full for the fact it has been getting stronger.

I was overdosed on testosterone by my OB/GYN a few years ago. As soon as my new doctor and I got that under control, the hair stopped falling out and then it took about three months for little hairs to start showing up again. It was a total of three years before my new hair caught up with my existing hair. I have hair that is about 3 inches below my shoulders, so you can certainly speed that up by wearing shorter hair. I read about women who experienced a traumatic hair loss and simply cut what was left into a short bob. If you do that, then the recovery time would be a lot shorter since the new hair doesn’t have to grow very long to catch up with the existing hair. Right now I am still in the midst of my post Covid related Hair loss and it is as traumatic this time as it was last time. As before, I am consoled by the knowledge that it is going to grow back, but in the meantime, the prospect of having bald patches or bits of scalp showing is upsetting. I’m going tomorrow to get fitted for a halo (that’s a hair piece that hangs from the top of your head so it does not put any stress on your hair). If my hair loss gets much worse, then I’ll go back and get a full-blown wig and wear that until the hair starts to come in again.

I had this happen to me terribly after stopping birth control years ago…I’m almost thankful I went through that because now that it’s happening again after having Covid, I know what to expect and it’s not as traumatizing.

@@lucindakloman290 why was ur testosterone so high?

I lost most of my hair while dealing with eating disorder only took about 6 months to get back to normal after I started eating again it doesn't take a long time for everyone

Still falling, or growing now?

Same but a month & a half

It started for me before a month of having covid

@@gaming2121 fortunately, growing back. Hair shed in chunks for close to 7 to 8 months. It will take at least a year to recover completely from hair fall

@@swethas8716 wow so you shedded for 7 months!!

So where did you study medicine?

Fake news? You want me to send you my hair every day? The stupid virus itself did nothing almost to me, and I had the Delta without being vaccinated and they claim its the worst. It was nothing, maybe 1.5 on a scale from 0 to 10. Have experienced far worse. But the hair loss afterwards is insane!!! I do not wish that on anyone but seems a lot of people are going through it post Covid :-(

It is not Fake news... I had double pneumonia Covid and was on a ventilator.. and induced Coma for 8 days. Last September.. I have now noticed my hair is falling out at an alarming rate... Its terrible.... Nothing FAKE about it 😢

Not fake I a. M Going through it now.three months after covid. Hair is falling out like crazy
