Post COVID hair loss: Will it grow back?

God bless you Judy. I had Covid last August and the hair loss began 4 months later in December, with January of 2023 being my worst month. I wasn't just shedding hair, it was coming out a lot. It began tapering off in February, but, I still have more shedding than usual. I am noticing new hair coming in. I am not shampooing my hair but once a week, using Pureology Hydrating shampoo (it's expensive but good and a mild shampoo), trying not to wear my hair up a lot as that causes more hair to come out. It's so disheartening as a female to have hair loss. I thought I was going to be bald at one point! I am still seeing hair on my pillow case but not as much. I think Covid does so much to our bodies. It takes time for your hair to grow back completely. We are not the only ones this has happened to since having Covid. I am praying for you right now and I am so sorry.

Thank you for the lovely reply. Female hair loss is a different animal from male, and so disheartening. It is comforting go hear of your progress. Hope is lurking in the products you and other responses have suggested. Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to respond.
