With hundreds of millions infected worldwide, COVID-19 is causing more than just brain fog, weakness and cough. Hair loss is becoming a common aftermath for recovered patients. A hair care specialist in Hangzhou warns that the virus may trigger inflammation around hair follicles, leading to accelerated hair loss for 30% of recovered patients, peaking in just 2 months.

What is telogen effluvium?

A normal hair growth cycle consists of 3 stages: anagen, catagen and telogen. A healthy person has around 100 thousand hairs and 90% of hair follicles are in the anagen phase which keeps the hair growing thicker and longer. At the same time, some hair follicles in the catagen stage have reached the end of the growth cycle and will prepare to enter the telogen phase. The remaining 10% is in the telogen phase, therefore we lose about 50-100 hairs per day.

This growth cycle will repeat over and over again. Yet, external factors such as perm, dye job, anxiety, work-related stress or CPVOD-19 can damage the hairs in the anagen phase and lead to their early shift into the telogen phase. If more and more hair follicles enter the telogen phase, telogen effluvium can develop.

Can telogen effluvium go away after some time?

Many people thought that telogen effluvium peaks in 2 months, and the hair loss problem will disappear after bearing with it for 3 to 4 months. Yet, a disrupted hair growth cycle can be a big deal. If not treated promptly, it will lead to soft and fragile hairs that fall off easily even in the anagen phase, and in serious cases, hair follicle shrinkage which impedes hair growth forever.

If you recover from COVID-19 but find that you’re excessively losing hair, do not think that the hair loss problem will go away after a few months as missing the golden treatment opportunity means bidding farewell to your hair! You should seek help from specialists as soon as possible. They will utilise advanced devices and their expertise to identify the problems with the hair, hair follicles or scalp and target the cause.
