While the second wave of the pandemic is gradually being put to rest, the underlying health ailments of the deadly COVID-19 are not yet over. Various problems like weakness, fatigue, skin allergies and rashes were common, but recently many people have been complaining of massive hairfall during or after recovering from COVID. It is only emerging now as one of the most frequently reported complications in people recovering from the virus and is a quandary that many have been facing in the recent months with their hairbrushes and bath showers being filled with tangles of hair.

According to research, this phenomenon can be triggered due to shock and trauma the body goes through due to the virus. The sudden compromised nutritional intake, change in weight, hormonal changes and reduction in vitamins are some of the major reasons for the issue. For many who contracted the virus, hair loss became a frustrating symptom of the recovery process, occurring only 3-4 months after falling but sometimes experienced sooner as well. However, it is also being said that it is temporary and an indication of extreme stress which can be treated.
