Hair shedding/thinning? For both women and men, young and old

I had beautiful thick long curly hair. During covid and it's extended symptoms, every time I changed from one phase to another (ie cough to extended sleep period, etc) my hair fell out as if I was having chemotherapy. So now my hair is super thin and no longer curly. It continues to fall out and as my scalp starts to show, I wonder if I will need to buy wigs soon...

I had a lot of hair thinning as well, eyebrows too. It seems as though covid can mess with your endocrine system. My hormones were all jacked up and also became hypothyroid which can cause thinning hair and brows. Maybe go to an endocrinologist to check hormone levels. I’ve been taking thyroid hormone as well as estradiol, testosterone and progesterone for about a year and my hair is growing back pretty quickly.
Much luck to you!
