- According to a study published in the authoritative medical journal The Lancet, the COVID-19 infection causes hair loss in 10%-20% of people infected with the virus. Hair loss usually begins a few days after the onset of the disease and may continue long after recovery. It has also been observed that the intensity of hair loss is related to the intensity of the symptoms of the disease.
- According to another study stress-induced hair loss increased in 2020/21 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The generalized stress of the pandemic affected, among other things, the quality of the hair. Fear of illness for ourselves and our loved ones, social restrictions, staying at home, financial issues, homeschooling, are some of the reasons people feel more stressed right now – and stress is a very important reason we lose our hair.
