This is a common complaint from the many ladies who seek our help. Those who have been ill for a long time may experience accelerated and persistent hair loss. Occasionally the hair falls out more noticeably (in strands), usually after three months, and sometimes it falls out more subtly (but for a longer period of time).
Hair has its own lifespan, and we all know that there are times of year when hair loss is more common. If you have just underwent corona virus and have seen an increase in hair loss, it may be time to do some research and try a new technique to caring for your scalp.
Advice from magazines and the Internet is often taken at face value, and often without further investigation. While most women have high hopes that a quick fix would be found, they end up wasting time and money on questionable products they saw advertised.
Obviously, the best way to tackle a problem is to seek the guidance of experts in the industry.
The first thing you should do if you’ve seen chronic hair loss is to see an endocrinologist to have your hormones and thyroid glands checked.

One possible cause of hair loss is anticoagulant therapy, which is frequently used to treat covid.
Hair loss is exacerbated by stress. Which it’s caused by the body’s ongoing battle against a severe infection. When our immune system is busy fighting off viruses, it diverts proteins away from producing hair and toward the body’s defences.
Hair loss, according to dermatologists, is a common psychological reaction to a stressful event (in this case, covid) and is only temporary.
