Post COVID hair loss: Will it grow back?

Mine has been falling out for over two years. I had very thick hair, and didn’t stress too much about it as I figured it would come back. It is coming back, but it is white and frizzy. I had very little gray/white hair when I got Covid. I think I’ll end up going totally white, and this hair doesn’t seem like my hair.
It’s distressing, but given all my issues, I guess it’s fairly low on the list. I would just like my life back. As the time goes by, I am less and less convinced that will ever happen.

Thanks to all for adding to the info. I am on Nutrafol and topical Minoxidil, have tried washing my hair
every day rather than every other day and counting lost hairs that fall into a drain "strainer" . I am definitely
losing less hair, but I HAVE less hair to lose. My very thick hair is now particularly "patchy" on top. I run a
constant fever anywhere between 98.9 and 99.9 and very occasionally 100. There are no fever free days.
My hair loss seems to correspond to my temp. That all makes sense as it is in keeping with the inflammation that occurs with longCovid. I am also very autoimmune, 81 years old; so it seems to me there are many contributing
factors.

My hair after covid fell out twice.. I also had breast cancer and endometrial cancer. I immediately took neutrafol everyday and still do. It is growing faster and my hair is longer. My hair was Grey before. I just have it dyed every 6 weeks. I think stress from cancer also contributed to the hair loss too. My covid was not bad. Hope this helps.

In the hospital over 7 weeks 1 year ago. Started losing my hair 3 months after that. I started taking Viviscal supplements. It started coming back but there are patches where it is not growing. The hair that's coming in is white and frizzy, my hair used to be very straight now it's wavy, curly and hard to deal with. One of the other comments was its not like my hair, that's exactly how I feel about it. At least some of it is coming back.

Try nutrofal (sp?) It is expensive but it works for me stress makes hair fall out too. I meditate every day.

I agree that it involves many factors. I’ve had hair loss after childbirth, and after surgeries.
Now, hair loss after Covid. For some of us, hair loss is part of getting over stress I guess.

What’s different this time is that my hair is much different as it comes back in. I’ve heard others say that after cancer and cancer treatment their hair was not the same as it had been.
For me, I still have enough hair that I am not using treatments to grow more hair. Interestingly....and disturbing really, is that I’m growing more hair on my FACE! What the heck?
Just one more insult to injury that I am experiencing with this crazy disease.

I had COVID in June of 2020. My husband also had it at that time. We both had gastrointestinal problems with loss of appetite, fever and severe diarrhea. Absolutely no respiratory symptoms so we didn’t think it was COVID. I lost 10 lbs. that month and he lost 15. Shortly thereafter my hair started falling out! I talked to my general practitioner and she told me she believed we had had COVID. My hair stopped falling out and it did grow back without intervention. My husbands appetite slowly returned but mine did not. Here it is 4 years later and while the weight loss has subsided I still don’t have a good appetite and my stools are almost always a lighter color than normal. In the end, I have lost 50 lbs.
