During my 90-day hair growth journey, I practiced yoga and exercises, massaged my scalp with oil three times a week, shampooed once a week, and applied llitllextra Reactivate hair serum. The outcome, my hair growth increased without any hair fall.

I lost half of my hair after covid, but after 6 months I’ve got it back. I was taking vitamins D3 Zinc and Magnesium it helped me a lot! Stay blessed everyone 🙌.

I had covid in August. I have naturally curly shoulder length hair. It is falling out in long pieces whenever I wash it. It is so thin now. Devastating. This disease is like some kind of bio weapon to do this to people. I’m so sorry for everyone going through this.

[barsha]

My own hair growth journey of success, I adhered to this daily regimen:
Take early morning sunshine daily for essential vitamin D. Consume vegetables of various colours. Applying paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and gently massaging twice a week with hair oil from litttleextra's cooconion. Imp. to keep in mind that hair growth is influenced by general health as well as circulation and nutrition.

It's happening to me, too. Started losing hair about 2 months after recovering from a serious case of covid. I went to a wig store today. The owner told me that HALF of her customers are post COVID recoverees. Wow. Hang in there everyone. We will get through this.

[Wtfwhatisthis]

Before I had covid, my hair was extremely thick and full, to the point that my hair-stylist brother of nearly 11 years, claims I still have the thickest hair of anyone he has ever met.
About a month after recovery, I started losing LARGE clumps of hair... and now I’m starting to see through to my scalp. I’ve been crying a lot. I’ve stopped all heat on my hair, I went cold-Turkey with coloring my hair.... and I even avoid washing it at times because of the sheer amount of hair that falls out.
Since around Oct. 1— this has been my new normal. Brush and loosely braid my hair, cry, and hide my bald spots the best that I can.
I don’t have the money to go to the doctor, so thank you for making this video.
Now— to watch it. 👀
Edit: I love how supportive this comment section is— we are going to get through this together 🥺
Second Edit: Y’all right when my hair fall started to lessen, I got Covid again. Take care of yourself and your families, everyone.

I've been under constant emotional stress for almost 20 yrs. After hearing this, I guess I am lucky to have a single hair

[organicmamajones]

I'm a covid nurse and I've seen major hair loss in my patients. Even my co- workers and myself have loss hair. Thanks for this video.

[md]

Literally lost like 3/4 of my hair about 3 months after I had COVID. I am still in the regrowth phase. It has been awful. So happy that you made a video on this explaining what is going on.

[dianejoneswolford]

I’m going through this right now. I feel like crying. However, knowing that it’ll grow back is encouraging. I lost all my hair during chemo but knowing it will grow back is very soothing. Thank you. I don’t sleep well at all, so I will work on that. Thanks everyone! ♥️♥️♥️

Wow I don't feel so alone after reading the comments! I had covid in September and noticed hair shedding mid November. We'll get through this guys with styling hair differently, hats and caring for our hair. My heart goes out to everyone struggling with this.
*Update*
Wanted to do an update incase it helps anyone else. Ive noticed that my hair has slowed down in the amount of shedding throughout the day which I'm glad about. I've started taking biotin too. I've stopped using dry shampoo.
I haven't drastically changed my hair routine but have been wrapping my hair in a soft t-shirt which is more gentle. Been trying to be patient and am planning on cutting my hair a few inches so it is all the same length. I'm hoping that will help with the appearance of it.

[kathrynmcclatchy]

Yep! I had Covid last November. Four weeks of uncontrollable fever. Then in February my hip-length hair started falling out in handfuls. I lost probably 70% of my hair like you described. I had to cut it short like a pixie, and wear hats for months. My PCP diagnosed TE, and told me it would grow back in about six months. And it did start growing back in that amount of time. So sad about the hair loss, but so grateful that was the worst long-term effect I suffered. Thank you for addressing the emotional component. I felt like I lost a lot of my persona and identity when my hair fell out. And then I felt guilty about putting that much emphasis on my hair.

[kamilalareau-castillo]

Only person I trust on this platform. You have the best advices, and deserve way more attention. Thank you so much!

[SkyClears]

THANK YOU for this video. I LOVE YOU. I had Covid at the beginning of November/end of October, can't remember for sure. I just started losing my hair! I was in the shower last week and a chunk came out. I was just standing in the shower holding that clump of hair and said out loud, "Welp, that just happened." I went to my hair dresser today to cut off about 8-10". It is now up to my shoulders, and I actually am enjoying this length. She is the one who mentioned those who had Covid are experiencing the hair loss quite a lot, so I decided to do more research and came across your video first.

I do have baby hairs so IT DOES GROW BACK LADIES. How long I'll experience this hair loss is TBT. I'll update this comment once things settle and get back to normal.

I just wanted to say this to all the girls (and guys) who are having a time with this. My GOSH is it helping me to do a healthy lifestyle change. I'm starting to live with intent when it comes to my health. Stress and Anxiety are my middle name. I'm started to workout, eat better, and do my best to sleep better! Drink more water and less coffee (this almost makes me wanna cry more than losing my hair) HAHA. That's a joke...I know I'm not funny. It is wonderful to have a camaraderie with others when it comes to encountering this issue with our hair. It does grow back and your identity is not your hair. It's going to be an interesting time but I'm excited because good things will come out of this -even if at times losing the hair does make us emotional, it's cool to feel that way, but just don't STAY that way. We got this!

In closing, I just wanted to try and bring a little more positivity to this experience that we are all going through and end it too shall pass and it WILL get better. :)

It was 2 months AFTER covid i starting noticing unusual hair loss. I knew right away without looking at a video it was post covid issue so I did a search then found many vids on it being a real issue. I heard multiple times it will grow back, as is said here. Very thick hair, much thinner now. Grateful for my life, will focus on my blessings, and in time it'll grow in fully. In the emantume, I can be supportive and sensitive to others by sharing my experience and bring comfort to others. When one lady's house burnt down, she said she had a better view of the sun. Get creative- wear hats more-cute ones:), count your many blessings, make a gratitude list, find a new hobby to take your mind elsewhere. Be happy that you are you, hair or not!:) you are loved. Your hair can grow back while you're making your heart fuller🤗.

Had Covid in the beginning of Feb this year and about a month ago I noticed a lot of diffused hair loss. It's very difficult not ro stress when you see you hair falling out in clumps and everywhere around the house 😭 I didn't have a lot of hair to begin with so to lose that much hair is devastating to me. I completely changed my diet and now only eating once a day avoiding junk and anything processed. Air drying my hair, vitamins, and a lot of praying for myself and anyone going through the same thing.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer late 2020. Had 6 months of chemo. Three months later I got covid. My hair is growing back from the chemo but my hair isn’t the same!!! My poor body 😭

[ApolloGrows]

I had delta covid in November and starting the beginning of the year I had massive hair fall. That was distressing enough but my scalp is sometimes sore and my hair gets extra tangled when I wash it. I’ll be cutting my hair really short to reduce the psychological stress of seeing long clumps of hair everywhere I look and to also alleviate the tangling which has become stressful to deal with as well. I wish everyone here peace and blessings as your hair returns to its normal growth cycle.

[nancyalex]

Wow I was so hoping you’d touch on this topic I had COVID April this year. Two months after I had immense hair loss my hair was all over my floors, drain and brush. This lasted for me about 1-2 months of losing hair and finally it did stop and now my hair is growing back to where it was Thanks so much for this video.

[junesage]

Thank you! After COVID I lost 50% or more of my hair! Im just going to love on myself and keep the faith my body will recover! Sending healing love vibes to all of us!!
