Post covid hair loss remedy needs to assess individual circumstances. In this case the post covid hair loss started almost immediately after the covid because of lowered immunity and high fever for over 48 hours.
Blood tests revealed low iron storage, ferritin, immune support vitamin D had been half of the sufficiency and B12 had been low end but was now too high because of over supplementation.
Hair loss after covid
Hair loss after covid is a type of diffuse hair loss, occurring diffusely all over the scalp, not in pattern or patches. Diffuse hair loss happens when the hair cycle is disturbed. Here it was the fever that disturbed the body and in turn the hair.
The body disturbance pushed the actively growing anagen hairs prematurely into the falling telogen phase, resulting in double daily hair loss. This double daily hair loss could look like over 300 hairs a day.
Telogen effluvium covid
Telogen effluvium covid can occur as in this case almost instantly or up to 3 months later. The hair will continue to fall for three months, then it should stop. Then it can take up to twelve months for the hair to regrow.
You can intervene with post covid hair loss remedy as we did here. Checking in on health we found the abovementioned lows, but we also found the hair cycle was not in order to start with. We had an otherwise healthy person, but life happens and sometimes, especially with history of low iron and or childbirth, your hair cycle is not what is used to be.
Hair falling out after covid
Hair falling out after covid should never be permanent. Diffuse hair loss is a temporary type of hair loss. Hair regrowth can be compromised if you don’t check nutritional and health levels for sufficiency, low levels are not good enough.

Covid and hair loss in women
Hair loss due to covid can expose some other hair thinning problems, such as female pattern hair thinning. We need to be focused here to understand the current diffuse hair loss post covid is the problem. As we are getting the hair growth and hair cycle back on track, we can assist with the pattern hair thinning, that had been happening all along in the background anyway.
Just be careful not to choose the wrong treatment which I have seen happening online, a lot. You do not need to use minoxidil or hormonal treatment for covid and hair loss in women.
Hair shedding after covid
As we have discussed, hair shedding after covid should last no longer that three months. You can get started on hair growth treatment during this time to help with quicker hair regrowth, as we did in these before and after photos. Always get blood tests and look for mid-range levels, not lows and not over supplementing either, as highs can cause problems too. Balance is the key and that is what I can help you with, in clinic Brisbane or online all over the world.
