Did you know that hair loss is a common post-COVID symptom?

You may have heard or experienced side effects of COVID-19 such as loss of taste, smell and brain fog. But, if you have been wondering why your hair is falling out in clumps, it may also be a result of your COVID infection.

How To Deal With Your Post-COVID Hair Loss?

Since the start of the global pandemic, an evolving body of literature has associated COVID-19 with hair, nail and skin complaints. Hair growth disorders, in particular, have been on the rise. Slowly, people all around the world are beginning to realise a connection between the disease and disruption in the natural hair cycle.

From Google showing ‘hair loss’ as a key search term to an increasing number of cases associated with hair fall after COVID-19, there is certainly relevance to why the pandemic has affected your crown of glory.

The connection between pattern hair loss and COVID-19

It is quite likely that the pathogenetic aspects of COVID-19 or its subsequent psychiatric complications lead to the aggravation of hair loss. Studies have shown the prevalence of pattern hair loss in patients with COVID-19 and an increased severity for those that were hospitalised.

The consequences post-infection also show an increase in diffuse alopecia; another term for hair loss. A large study of survivors in China showed alopecia as the most common complaint, three to four months post-discharge.

Stress is a real consideration for post-COVID hair loss

We all know that hair loss can be triggered by several factors. This could range from infection, childbirth, medications, Thyroid, and menopause to emotional stress.

And when we talk about stress generated from the pandemic, most of us felt the pressure! Even the World Health Organization, reported an elevation in the rates of stress and anxiety worldwide. Whether this was down to the disease and its risks, or the economic insecurity and lifestyle changes around it, the psychological burden of COVID was very real and continuous to date.

On the scalp, stress can strongly promote premature hair loss by shedding more hair than normal (Telogen state). It is no surprise then that COVID could trigger stress-related hair loss on your scalp too!

P is for Proteoglycans, vital proteins that help with hair growth

To support your hair post-COVID, it is essential to understand your hair growth cycle.

Hair growth occurs in cycles and at any given time, 90-95% of the hair follicles are actively growing, while 5-10% are in the resting or falling phase.

A stressful event can disrupt this normal growth cycle and lead to hair thinning and hair loss.

This is caused by factors that deplete key proteoglycans or proteins that play an important role in the regulation of hair growth. Their depletion affects your hair growth cycle directly!

Over time, it can lead to Proteoglycan Follicular Atrophy (PFA), where the hair follicle cannot produce sufficient proteoglycans. In layman’s terms, it means more of your hair goes into the resting or shedding phase while fewer hair follicles enter the growth phase.

Results include weaker hair, less hair growth and an overall visible hair loss!

What can you do to manage post-COVID hair loss?
