My daughter is suffering from the worst possible case of this. She had covid this winter and nothing seems to help. Any data or help is greatly appreciated. Non vaxxed 13 yr old. 90%+ no taste or smell. Crazy. TIA.

Wife and I both had a bad case of the “COVID” in early January and BAM - about three months later, we both started noticing our hair falling out like crazy (for me, clogging up the shower drain and seeing it all over the bathroom floor). All my life I’ve had a thick head of hair until then. Did some quick research on COVID hair loss, found out it was not uncommon, but guardedly hopeful because the articles I read said the condition would only be temporary. After about three weeks of steady hair loss it finally stopped. Both wife and I are slowly getting our hair back, though me more than her. I kick-started my process with Nutrafol and Kintsugi last month, though I think it’s too early to tell if these supplements are actually working.
Previously… never was that mindful or “vain” about my hair… until I started to lose it! Now I have a lot more empathy for my balding buddies who used to complain about me still having hair while they were losing theirs. As one of my friends lamented to me last year about getting older, “Man… I’m losing hair where it used to be and growing it in places where it’s never been before.” LOL
Crazy about 2-3 months after infection. Mine hair loss has slowed down quite a bit. Taking supplements and they say not to wash your hair as much. I use to wash it every one to two days. Now twice a week. When I was recovering my scalp was sensitive to brushing and when I washed it. My husband got Covid 4 days before me and hadn’t experienced the same symptoms as me including hair loss but my sister has. Genetics I guess. Did you experience a sensitive scalp?
Thanks for the message.
I never experienced a sensitive scalp problem. My wife bought me some tea tree oil shampoo which supposedly helps to “open up” the scalp pores (or something like that?) and thus allow your scalp to “breathe.” She unfortunately can’t use the stuff because her scalp is very sensitive to it and it gives her a rash. Whereas I have ~thickish quasi-coarse hair, hers is very thin and fine.
We both assumed our hair loss was probably a combination of genetics and an auto-immune reaction to COVID, with maybe a little dash of a temporary decrease/deficit in nutritional health because of COVID.
One of these days in the hopefully near future I pray the full information comes out to expose the various mechanisms of the “COVID” virus and the scam that was perpetrated on the world (including the vaccine scam). The other day I was talking to a friend about this and he mentioned that it took over ten years for the cigarette industry to come “clean” on the asbestos-laden filters they put on cigarettes to “smooth out” tobacco harshness. He said they knew smokers were dying from a strange lung cancer caused by the asbestos but kept quiet about it, until the information hit critical mass and the industry could no longer control it. I hope we hit our critical mass moment sooner than that.
They’ll try to keep it hidden. Thanks for the info.
