I wrote 2 or 3 months ago about my hairloss from covid. I want people to know it is coming back in and there's hope! I am amazed at all the little short hairs sprouting up and I didnt do anything special to help it! Well I did pray and stopped obsessing about it!! Just wanted to leave a upbeat message for everyone who's going through this🙌☮️🕊️
I’m in the shedding phase of T.E. following Covid. I’ve been going with the flow until this weekend when I noticed the drastic difference of running my fingers through it. Definitely was the catalyst to mourning and lots of tears. Thank you so, so much for your encouragement and positivity! Your video, spirit, and energy really helped. 💕 I would love an update video just to hear from you more
I've watched many videos on other women going through this and yours is the first to make me feel better about what I am going through. I am 5 months post kidney transplant and started losing a terrifying amount of hair about 2-3 months later. It peaked about a month ago and I was losing an entire fistful of hair daily. Thank you so much for posting your pictures, as I have the same hair type as your and am losing hair in the exact same way. It gives me hope that I will regain hopefully all of my hair back. My hair is fine but I had A LOT of it. So I think I was losing more than most because I had to much to lose. Wishing you a fast hair recovery!
Thank you for this. My hair was my favorite thing about my looks. It's gone. I can't wait. I'm getting Rogaine. I've been through so much stress. I have an autistic son, we both had Covid twice.. I had the first strain & then I had omicron. I'm under so much pressure, I'm overwhelmed & I am completely traumatized. My hair was my super power.
What a positive, comforting and affirming message. Never felt this comforted by someone I don’t personally know. Feels like a good chat with a friend. You’re helping out way more than you know. Thank you very much.
You are pure magic! I’ve been having a difficult time. I didn’t have Covid, But I lost my dad at the beginning of October. It was sudden and I was in pure shock. I haven’t been able to shake the trauma from all that it brought up. End of November I noticed hair loss and now it’s end of march and it’s still happening. I’m hoping it ends soon. Your video put a big smile on my face. Cheers from Canada.
Your sweet and I love your attitude about this whole thing I did cry when I started noticing my hair loss but I am glad to be alive much love to everyone 💛
ok I'm watching this in 2024 and like you and others here have said, when this happens to you, you watch 1,000 videos and articles regarding it. I've been dealing with TE for almost a year now, and I have to say your video is the only one regarding this issue that actually made me smile. I even laughed when you put the ball of shedded hair back on your head for a moment. I just want to say thanks for that. I keep telling myself it's just my hair and could be so much worse, but honestly some days I'm fine and some days I'm halfway panicking. This gives me hope.
I loved watching your video. I am going through the hair loss after Covid right now. It sucks but you are right. I am here watching your video and doing better. Thanks for positivity! Wishing you all the best.
Thank you for making this! I experienced telogen effluvium for the first time two years ago after an extremely bad case of the flu. It did grow back though! Now I’m experiencing it again after having a bad case of Covid. As frustrating as it is, I am thankful that I know it’s temporary and the best thing I can do is not stress and just take care of myself as much as possible, AND like you said just be thankful that I’m here, and I’m okay ❤️ this video made me feel so much less alone. Thank you!
You are so amazing and kind for being so positive about this. I’ve lost half my hair and it keeps coming out. It’s very difficult and traumatic going through this post covid hair loss and it’s nice to hear your reassuring words ❤
Hey guys Hope you all are good ❤️ I am 17 years old girl and I suffered from teleogen effluvium due to unhealthy weight loss and like many of you I was distressed and searched my ass through Google and TH-cam videos and kept of worrying that my hair won't come back buy hey it did stopped shedding and came back healthier than before. I took multi vitamins , ate good food and became less harsh on myself and also I stopped worrying and obsessing over it so yeah there is hope and hair for sure come back. So cheer up and don't worry you are just at the end of your recovery❤️
Hey I'm loosing obsene amount of hair after a botched chemical straightening treatment from salon. My scalp seems ok. However the hairloss is severe. Lost 60 percent of hair in just 5 months. Doctors say it has triggered chronic talogen effluvium. I can see baby hair in each parting now. The hairloss is all over scalp. Please let me know if anyone has faced anything more or less like this. Any help for regrowth? Also, how long did your hair shed? And how much you lost? And when did you saw regrowth?
I have had telegen effluvium since I had COVID in 2022. I am on my 3rd year of losing hair. I can relate to your video especially when you were combing your hair. That is exactly what happens to me. Doctors can’t help me. Dermatologists have no answers. I take vitamins, biotin, minoxidil and now they have me on finasteride which is making the shedding worse. I have tried hair masks, special shampoos, not wearing ponytails, just trying everything I can and still have no relief. I know there are worse things that people are going through and I feel guilty for complaining about my situation because as people tell me “it’s just hair”. But there is an emotional component to this that can really weigh on you. Thank you for sharing your journey and making me feel not alone.
Had Covid pneumonia in Sept. 2021 and it’s exactly 2 months later and I was bawling in the shower as huge clumps of my hair was coming out. My “doctor” misdiagnosed me with alopecia areata. And they wonder why we google medical stuff🙄. I was actually a bit relieved to know what was going on and that it most likely will grow back. I was wondering if anyone else got joint pain along with it? My hands and feet are aching like crazy and I started getting shortness of breath here and there and light chest pains. The whole thing is just annoying and weird. Your video is very sweet and uplifting. So glad yours is growing back!
I am sorry to hear that you are going through this, unfortunately alot of people that i know are going through the same thing. i also had the same symptoms post covid, along with fast heart beats, i went to the doctor and got some blood tests done, it turned out that i have overactive thyroid and very low vitamin D. I started taking vitamin D supplements and thankfully 6 weeks later, my thyroid function was back to normal. I am currently suffering from talogen effluvium, i have lost more than half of my hair already, but i have spoken to my dermatologist and she reassured me that all my hair will grow back. I also decided to get platelet-rich plasma injections to help with the hair growth but again it takes few months for you to see results. Now in regards to joint pain, it is most likely to be your muscles got weak post covid again, i found cycling to be helpful because it strengthens you leg muscles. For body itching, you can use antihistamine tablets like zyrtec or telfast. I hope this helps and stay strong.
If you had covid in September, your hair should be growing back by now. How is it doing? I have covid right now. After one week my hands hurt too, my throat tingles, I had a terrible flu. Hair is starting to die and falling out. Help
@@helenarichard my hair did stop falling out and is slowly growing back. Hang in there, things will get better. Time definitely heals, it’s just we all live in the age of right now! I’ve been drinking stinging nettle tea and it’s helped with my hand pain. If you had Covid in your chest bad and were/are coughing a lot make sure you haven’t injured any ribs. I had a few out of alignment from coughing and one day I just turned wrong and the pain dropped me to my knees and I was extremely short of breath. Thankfully I have a good chiropractor who put me back in shape. Praying things improve quickly for you in Jesus name! 🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for posting this video, Natasha!! I’ve currently gone through the major shedding phase. As of three weeks ago the shedding seems to have stopped and I’m seeing tiny baby hairs around my hairline. I hope your hair regrowth journey continue to go smoothly! Thank you again for these words of encouragement. It really did help me come to terms with this hair loss reality and see it in a more positive light (a chance to try new hair colors and styles with wigs!!). Can’t thank you enough!
This was a beautifully done video! I absolutely love the kind words you speak to people. I found it uplifting, and exactly what I needed to hear! I have been stressing about my hair loss for about a month. The struggle is real! Thank you for shedding light on the subject, and being an encouragement to others who are struggling as well! Take care😁
Thank you so much for this video. I am dealing with this now. I had COVID in December and finally think my hair is starting to grow back. I took a picture of the back of my head and all the hair loss really had me depressed. This video really helped me to have more hope though, so thank you
Ditto pretty much everything that you said....I had Covid in March and my hair has been falling out for about a month now. Yes, it depressing and unless it happens to you people don't understand how much it hurts to see all of that hair in the brush or on the floor! It's scary because you don't know when it will stop and how much you will actually loose. I wish all you that are loosing your hair a speedy recovery!
@@hemangidattani6690 Thank you for asking.....I don't see new hairs growing back yet but it has stopped falling out so much. My hair is long enough that I can put it up and make it look ok but in the front I have to add some toppik or style it that you don't see the thinning,
@@hemangidattani6690 I wish that I could tell you but I think it's different for everybody, My hair loss stopped I would say after 6 weeks. I am waiting to see some baby hairs ! Did you loose your taste and smell while you had Covid? I wonder if there is some kind of connection?
I've been looking to videos of this issue for emotional support. I'm going into 5 weeks of 300-500 hairs loss BUT of course only when I wash it and comb it is it worse. Other days it's close to that 100 a day. I have long, thick, dark hair...or I did. Very sad and very confused because I've had major surgeries in the past and did not have hair loss like this. I suggest washing hair with distilled water. Don't use biotin vitamins till hair actually starts growing back. Take multivitamins, rest, and hydrate. Massage scalp 10-15 minutes a day VERY GENTLY. I did research on fenugreek and clove oils, masks, and other remedies here on TH-cam....however, with Telogen Effluvium, you're gonna have to ride the shedding lightbolt! Nothing will prevent your hair from going through this phase so save your money. If you want to invest in a wig, that's ok. But your hair is growing back. Simple hair covering with scarf or bandana and baseball hat works too, and you could also use those on any occasion or day. When your hair starts growing back, I'm going to assume 2-3 months after the chronic hair shedding from TE, THEN, but slowly, incorporate hair growth products like Biotin vitamins and thickening hair products, and natural home made remedies. It'll make those strands stronger. However, I've noticed new growth and they too are falling out at this point. The new growth could be from using biotin and clove water in my hair while it's shedding...but it has no effect if your scalp is in telogen phase. What's helpful to keep shedding also is loose braid. Loose hair tie at the back of head and 4-5 twist styles on crown(top) of head and clip it with hair clips. Not too tight though...Wash once a week if you're not busy(sweating) too much, 3x if you are. In the meantime, embrace the suck. This too shall pass. God bless you all going through this and I hope for you to have patience in your recovery. For a woman, her hair is her crown...so yeah, it does mean something to shed it at the magnitude caused by TE and to COVID. For any woman losing her hair to anything is emotional. However, find support, stay active, do yoga and meditate to alleviate stress, and know this...indeed you're a beacon of beautiful! May God shed comfort and light through your TE shedding process!!!
Been suffering with TE for a year and a half - had very thick hair and now I’ve lost over half. Was caused when I was 15/16 by having consecutive anxiety attacks every day for 4 months. I just hope it gets better before uni (sept 2022)
I had coved in both lungs and hospitalized! I survived which was a miracle and started losing my hairs 2 months later. As a woman its so depressing but a you so beautifully spoke we are survivors and hopefully hair will grow back!! Thank you for your inspiration and positivity. My doctor said at was a miracle is lived and I remind myself it isnt forver!!
Your a doll, thankyou for your video. Im a 58 grandmom. Had covid 3 months ago. Ive lost half my hair, its unbelievable, never happened before.thank you for your encouraging video. Love your accent ♥️
I cried so much over the amount endlessly falling out. However I started taking 'hair burst' vitamins to try and stop it. After two months lots of baby hairs now :)
Thnank you so much for sharing your story Ms. Natasha, it’s a horrible thing to go through and we went through the same back in February 2022, after having it in December 2021, the shedding was devastating and lost 75% of my natural hair, after months later and many collagen supplements later, she started to recover slowly but surely. Glad to see your beautiful hair and keep up the great work. ❤❤❤
i have been searching every corner of the internet trying to find something to help put me to ease about my current hair loss journey, and this is the first and only video that has done that for me. i started noticing my hair thinning summer of 2020 but it wasn’t too terrible and i just kept on with my life. fast forward to summer of 2021- i caught covid in august and was so sick for weeks on end. by october my hair was falling out in clumps and it still is falling out every single time i touch it. i can see my scalp from the top and from the sides, and it’s completely ruined my self esteem. it’s caused such a severe depression for me that i’ve isolated myself and won’t go out in public. i hope the shedding stops soon. thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us all! you are such an encouragement. we are all so much more than our hair. i wish you the best of luck on your regrowth journey! thank you for being such a light in a dark time for me. 💛
I have felt the same as you and totally understand the devastating effect it has on your life. I want to just live my life to the fullest but the whole hair thing holds me back so much in absolutely everything i do. Working, socialising, dating. Its not easy but lets try not to let this beat us. Easier said than done i know. Your really not on your own. Sending hugs
@@sophiespensley2719 ive just started using fenugreek seed for my hair. Look it up on here. Just soak fenugreek seeds in water overnight, drain and put the water in spray bottle and spray scalp and hair, leave amd rinse. Ive read so many good things on it. Ive only tried it once but worth a go. Its meant to be great for thinning hair x
Thank you for the video. So sorry for what you went through. Currently going through tellogen effluvium too after covid 😞 but ur video helped and I know after watching ur video it’s real, I’m not imagining it! X
Thanks for sharing your story. Your beautiful inside and out, thanks for your positive attitude. I’m experiencing the same condition from having the nasty virus. I normally have very thick hair, so its been difficult to experience all of the shedding.
You are such a sweet and beautiful person on the inside out. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot❤️❤️ Also..I Love, love, love your accent! Could listen to you all day!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've lost 50 % of mine get good days and very bad days I had major surgery took clots in my legs and lung was on blood thinners when they finished I took COVID your video has really helped me thankyou your personality is fantastic new sub greetings from Ireland ☘️
Loved your comforting nature in this video, thank you. I’ve struggled with TE since about 2018 primarily due to mental illness and malnutrition. My hair has come and gone. And come back only to be gone again. Rinse and repeat. I DID actually decide to shave it in 2020 and now its at my shoulders. But it’s a battle that I’ll continue to fight as my health slooowly improves. Just gotta go with the flow sometimes 🌊
♡Thank you♡ for such a kind uplifting video on a v difficult & emotive topic. Today I'm going to get my hair cut & coloured(highlights which i'm told are ok as the foil protects scalp.) I feel v emotional as it's first time I've had hair done in 19 months & since i've had T.E Thanks also for mentioning skin as mine has gotten incredibly dry all over & didn't know it was related. Im 44 so not young like you but as a woman this is v hard. I'm also single & know men love hair so this couldn't have come at a better time. ;) I send love & hair healing vibes to all. ♡
My hair has always been black and ginormous and curly it got in my way a lot but I loved it. Now I can’t even get it big again with dry shampoo or hairspray or teasing. I’ve cried everyday. My hair feels so thin. My hair has always been my best feature and now it’s about 20% gone. This video helped me feel a good bit better. You should do an update!! I subscribed. You’re so beautiful and so sweet and I’m about to binge watch your videos🤍☁️
Hey lovely, I hope you are doing well. It would really mean a lot if you could provide an update on your situation. I hope you kept your optimism, it is beautiful. Take care ❄️🤍
i got covid in october and my hair has been shedding ever since and has still not slown down ☹️☹️☹️ shits so demotivating,, anybody experience any regrowth ??
So needed to hear this. I had Covid back in mid Oct (21) mid January now & I've started shedding alot of hair, especially after washing it. I'm taking biotin & washing my hair with "Bioxine" shampoo (probably useless) but hey ho, one must try !! Thanks for your positive & very uplifting video !! ❤️❤️
i’m having chronic TE from a number of things but the main things being low iron and low vitamin D. it’s been a year now of pretty bad hair loss but it’s slowing down thank god. my hair has always been my favorite thing about me and i’ve always had crazy hair goals of long thick hair and throughout this i had to go to very short hair and lost almost 40% of my hair thickness and it’s mentally been very hard. it took everything in me not to start minoxidil because i just wanted my hair back. hopefully it continues to slow down for me and then eventually i’ll get to the regrowth stage
@@brielynne39 thanks for responding so quickly. How is your hair doing? I’m struggling to find someone who has also been having chronic TE. Its coming up to 9 months of shedding for me. I have low ferratin of 26 and on iron supplements but have only gone up to 42 in the past 5 months or so. Do you have low ferratin ? I’m trying to work out if this is the cause and have had low vit d and folate which is now back to normal. Also I don’t shed clumps but there’s constantly individual hair coming out every time I brush and shower and there are white bulbs on the end my texture has also changed and not taking colours properly. I am actually a hairdresser who specialises in wigs ironically so I know it’s not normal and I’m balding in my temple area and down my ears with overall thinning. What does your hair loss look like as there’s a slight concern for female pattern baldness. I also wanted to ask If you have had fluctuating sheds that haven’t stopped at 6 months. I’m wondering if this is a whole new shed or it’s the same one! Sorry for all the questions.
@@AlexFarr-jg5jp their all good questions. i originally had low iron and vitamin D, my doctor didn’t specifically test my ferratin so i can’t speak for that. my vitamins d went up pretty well, it only took maybe 3 months. my iron took close to a year to fully get up. i had what i would consider pretty consistent hair loss for a year and a half, my hair loss was visible at my hairline/temples but i also has general hair thinning. hair that falls out at the root will have a bulb at the end so that is a normal thing to see with hair loss but i also experienced some hair breakage because my hair wasn’t healthy. i also was getting pretty concerned for awhile that it could be AGA or female pattern hair loss, but as of now my hair loss seems to be in a normal range (which can still be a lot some days, humans just naturally lose a good amount of hair on a daily basis) now i haven’t experienced any hair regrowth yet and i’m still concerned about going through another hair loss cycle but i have hope that buy the 2 year mark all my lab levels will still be normal and i’ll hopefully be starting to get some regrowth. i totally understand all your questions and understand the fear and emotions that come with hair loss, i’m not a pro but hopefully this clears up some of your main questions
@@brielynne39 wow so glad I found your comment on here as it sounds so similar to me. I’m not sure if you know but ferratin is the iron storage even though my iron seems to be ok. This gives me a little hope that hopefully when my bloods go up the shedding will stop. My hair is also breaking and just so thin. Thank you so much for your replies. I’m glad you have came out the other side! I would be the happiest person in the world if this stops. My hair is also everything to me and after watching people loose there hair for years I never thought I would go through it and constantly told my clients to not stress. I have been absolutely devastated it’s taken over my life for the last 9 months. I have had 2 rounds of prp and due my 3rd in a couple of weeks. I would recommend trying prp for regrowth as I did feel my hair was trying to grow but because I’m still shedding it’s just falling out again. Also I have looked into nutrafol as I’m also not keen on minoxidil. It’s expensive but I have seen a lot of good things.
My massive hair loss has stopped since i posted this! changing to natural hair products and i take multi vits and i switched to natural laundry products too ... i don't brush it when it is wet, i only use wide tooth combs. It is starting to grow back a bit with tiny weeny hairs growing in the parting under my fringe and the nape of my neck! mine was really bad from Sept until December and the feel and look of it improved after the first wash using SUKIN hair products and even more when i used the sensitive one and i have since added in the conditioner too and a tiny drop of leave in conditioner since the new hair growth as it helps to smooth it down a bit... my remaining hair was in terrible condition especially at the back of my hair as i lay flat for 21 days when i had covid and couldn't shower or wash my hair so that improved from the first Sukin use too ...
Been through the same experience as yours. I am a covid survivor. Luckily, I was able to recover from this severe hairloss after almost a month. I took collagen powder, Biotin, vitamin E and vitamim C everyday.
This is happening to me exactly the same as you, it comes out after washing in scary amounts. I had thick hair so it’s not noticible yet unless you have a good look. I hope your hair is growing back in abundance. I am having this after a kidney transplant though not Covid.
I am experiencing hair loss, clumps, it’s quite overwhelming. Thank you. I had Covid and was very sick in august and my hair is still falling out. It is very noticeable as I had very very thick curly hair. Yes I am panicked, but these videos do “shed” some light. Thank you
When did your hair start falling? I also had flu wayback august for almost 2 weeks. Lost almost 5kgs. My hair started falling just this start of November. Im very worried coz I really lose a lot of hair everyday.
My hair continues to fall out I’ve been to 2 doctors and a dermatologist I’ve had all kinds of blood work done. It is really horrifying, I have almost no hair now. The dermatologist told me it was called telogen effluvium. She seems quoted certain the “shedding” will flow down and that my hair will grow back…🙏
@@denisegleason6155 one of my Sisters in Christ reminded me of how in August they did that thing with the 5g towers and how the radiation is affecting a lot us...while yet we are using other scientific terms etc. Prayers up🙏
Please could you do an update on this? I'm going through the same thing, it's been a year since I noticed the shedding like yours, and I'd love to see your progress as I don't feel like I've got anywhere xx
What a Sweetheart! Thank you for all your encouraging words. I actually do feel better. I was considering shaving my head. But I’m 56 and it’s not a good look for me. Lol my face shape and all. I did cut it at shoulder length; bob. I may try the aloe vera suggested by others for the scalp or a coffee scrub, but really I’m taking the vitamins and being patient and not upset! That doesn’t help. Thank you for this video.
Natasha - Loved the words of encouragement! Thanks for posting this. I was in ICU with COVID Pneumonia for 9 days in December - started losing my hair around March...I think it has started to slow down a bit. 🤞 Taking vitamins and trying to stay positive - glad to still be here!!😊 Absolutely love your accent!!❤️
omg same here. I had COVID form Dec 20- Jan1 and had all my hair up until early March. I have pictures of my hair from Early March that i compare to the end of March and the amount of hair i lost from then up until the beginning of May is crazy. A friend from HS gave me the idea to so i also had my own memorial service for my hair. (Silly i know but it helped me get over the loss and full grieve then instead of every-time i did my hair). Now the end of May and im praying that these vitamins and leaving it alone does it some good. Prayers for all of us !!!!
i am very happy ....because i loose my hair extremely starting from june..yet may hair fall is start...your vidio is very helpful for me...make me strong...love from india
Thank you for sharing your experience and positive attitude with us. I'm experiencing this right now and needed some reassurance and inspiration. you're such a strong person and very supportive.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had covid in may and I am having extreme hair loss with some itching on scalp and all over my body. Did you get those symptoms as well? Also did you have any blood work done?
I had chronic telogen effluvium for over 3 years and the only thing that cured it is minoxidil, period. I tried everything else and nothing worked. My hair is back to normal now but growing very slowly 😂
@@meganrae8840 I’m nearly 3 years on topical min and it’s still working. I still shed daily but way less and I have long hair now :) just stick with it
You are so sweet! I am going through the same thing. It is a little scary and I have never really liked my hair and have often thought of getting wigs or hair pieces. Could this be karma....?? Now is my chance, and I know my new hair growth will be healthier than what I was dealing with before! I've done a lot of research on various supplements like ashwagandah, saw pawlmento, and probiotics that help with stress levels and hair loss so I will be giving those a try as well.
Has your shedding stopped yet? Are you having any regrowth yet? I just started experiencing this 2 weeks ago. I’ve already lost about half of my hair volume!! It’s devastating!! I’ve always had REALLY THICK, HEAVY hair! I only just discovered yesterday that this is associated with Covid that I had 2 months ago! So I’m just at the beginning of researching this. Had never heard of Telogen Effluvium before. Please tell me that it doesn’t last that long and that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for your video. Hope your locks are growing thick & gorgeous! I am shedding like crazy. Ruled out the most causes w/ my doctor. Maybe I had Covid & didn’t know it. My son is getting married next month. Hoping it won’t be too bad for photos!
Thank you so much for making this video! I went through Covid hair loss despite the fact that my Covid symptoms were relatively mild. The shedding has stopped now and my hair is regrowing slowly but I am really worried it will happen again the next time I catch Covid. Have you had Covid again since and did you go through this again?
@@ruthiebeaut3 my hair is coming in thick now about 2 inches long mixed in with the longer strands it was horrendous but do whatever gets you through for me it was the pieces eat nuts protein speed the process up but try not to stress
@@Rosevalentine6 ❤️ thanks for sharing Lisa. Glad to hear you seeing regrowth, hoping my journey will have the same results. Would you be able to share how long you’re shedding lasted?
@@Rosevalentine6 thanks so much for replying. oh I’m glad you’re stopped so quickly! Great to here you have recovered. That gives me some hope even though I’m on week 10!
I'm just gonna shave my head of this happens to me, already suspecting thin hair due to iron deficiency anemia. 70% of my strands falling out would have me looking like Gollum. I did have covid nearly 2 months ago and I can't discern between anemia related thinning and new thinning, but my hair line is looking suspiciously barer.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing…I appreciate your intro so much as it’s comforting…but question, how long did it take for your hair to grow back and did your scalp feel painful or itchy?
Still come back to this for encouragement ! My shedding has slowed down tremendously hasn’t stoooed yet completely. Losing 30-40 hairs daily now on wash days non wash days it’s less. It’s worse after my hair dries from the shower but I see regrowth! Mines from stopping birth control (depo):/ praying this stops soon.
@@leylanurcandemir9734 it's been interesting. The hair loss slowed down after about 4 months and I am noticing some new growth but....I am still losing a little daily and my scalp is painful most days. Also the texture of my hair has changed. Feels very dry and stringy
@@leylanurcandemir9734 yes big time, right around my forehead. It's starting to grow back now. But I'm still losing some hair from the follicle when I shower and brush. It still hasn't completely stopped
Still don`t know im 36 btw,and really don`t know if its that?or dupa:( or scarring alopecia....am going to see a derm soon.........tried everything but its out of my hands......had to shave what was left of,and wear a wig........
I wrote 2 or 3 months ago about my hairloss from covid. I want people to know it is coming back in and there's hope! I am amazed at all the little short hairs sprouting up and I didnt do anything special to help it! Well I did pray and stopped obsessing about it!! Just wanted to leave a upbeat message for everyone who's going through this🙌☮️🕊️
❤️
Thank you for this!
I'm a black woman and my hair looks a lot like yours. Having a ton of shedding. Truly appreciate your video! Glad you recovered from Covid! God bless!
I’m in the shedding phase of T.E. following Covid. I’ve been going with the flow until this weekend when I noticed the drastic difference of running my fingers through it. Definitely was the catalyst to mourning and lots of tears. Thank you so, so much for your encouragement and positivity! Your video, spirit, and energy really helped. 💕 I would love an update video just to hear from you more
Has it stop? ❤️
I feel less alone hearing you tell your story. I really feel your warmth and compassion. Plus, what an absolutely adorrrrrrable accent
I've watched many videos on other women going through this and yours is the first to make me feel better about what I am going through. I am 5 months post kidney transplant and started losing a terrifying amount of hair about 2-3 months later. It peaked about a month ago and I was losing an entire fistful of hair daily. Thank you so much for posting your pictures, as I have the same hair type as your and am losing hair in the exact same way. It gives me hope that I will regain hopefully all of my hair back. My hair is fine but I had A LOT of it. So I think I was losing more than most because I had to much to lose. Wishing you a fast hair recovery!
This is exactly what I needed right now. I was mid pity party, hopelessly searching TE on TH-cam. And this meant the world.
Same, just starting my journey. How is your journey going Kaitlyn?
Thank you for this. My hair was my favorite thing about my looks. It's gone. I can't wait. I'm getting Rogaine. I've been through so much stress. I have an autistic son, we both had Covid twice.. I had the first strain & then I had omicron. I'm under so much pressure, I'm overwhelmed & I am completely traumatized. My hair was my super power.
Hey how is your hair now
What a positive, comforting and affirming message. Never felt this comforted by someone I don’t personally know. Feels like a good chat with a friend. You’re helping out way more than you know. Thank you very much.
You are pure magic! I’ve been having a difficult time. I didn’t have Covid, But I lost my dad at the beginning of October. It was sudden and I was in pure shock. I haven’t been able to shake the trauma from all that it brought up. End of November I noticed hair loss and now it’s end of march and it’s still happening. I’m hoping it ends soon. Your video put a big smile on my face. Cheers from Canada.
Im watching this because my friend lost her dad and had covid. Shes now lost most of her hair.
Has it got better?
Your sweet and I love your attitude about this whole thing I did cry when I started noticing my hair loss but I am glad to be alive much love to everyone 💛
Thank you so much for this video. The hair loss has been shocking and so hard to accept. You made me feel loads better. 💛
Her ACCENT & SPOKEN CADENCE ARE EVERYTHING!
ok I'm watching this in 2024 and like you and others here have said, when this happens to you, you watch 1,000 videos and articles regarding it. I've been dealing with TE for almost a year now, and I have to say your video is the only one regarding this issue that actually made me smile. I even laughed when you put the ball of shedded hair back on your head for a moment. I just want to say thanks for that. I keep telling myself it's just my hair and could be so much worse, but honestly some days I'm fine and some days I'm halfway panicking. This gives me hope.
I loved watching your video. I am going through the hair loss after Covid right now. It sucks but you are right. I am here watching your video and doing better. Thanks for positivity! Wishing you all the best.
loveliest message you could give me as someone going through this. Thank you for such genuine and helpful words!
Thank you for making this! I experienced telogen effluvium for the first time two years ago after an extremely bad case of the flu. It did grow back though! Now I’m experiencing it again after having a bad case of Covid. As frustrating as it is, I am thankful that I know it’s temporary and the best thing I can do is not stress and just take care of myself as much as possible, AND like you said just be thankful that I’m here, and I’m okay ❤️ this video made me feel so much less alone. Thank you!
Thank you for the positive thoughts and encouragement ❤️ hope your hair grows back even fuller than before
You are so amazing and kind for being so positive about this. I’ve lost half my hair and it keeps coming out. It’s very difficult and traumatic going through this post covid hair loss and it’s nice to hear your reassuring words ❤
Hey guys
Hope you all are good ❤️
I am 17 years old girl and I suffered from teleogen effluvium due to unhealthy weight loss and like many of you I was distressed and searched my ass through Google and TH-cam videos and kept of worrying that my hair won't come back buy hey it did stopped shedding and came back healthier than before.
I took multi vitamins , ate good food and became less harsh on myself and also I stopped worrying and obsessing over it so yeah there is hope and hair for sure come back. So cheer up and don't worry you are just at the end of your recovery❤️
Hey I'm loosing obsene amount of hair after a botched chemical straightening treatment from salon. My scalp seems ok. However the hairloss is severe. Lost 60 percent of hair in just 5 months. Doctors say it has triggered chronic talogen effluvium. I can see baby hair in each parting now. The hairloss is all over scalp. Please let me know if anyone has faced anything more or less like this. Any help for regrowth?
Also, how long did your hair shed? And how much you lost? And when did you saw regrowth?
plss tell me about your regrowth
I am also 17 yrs old
I have had telegen effluvium since I had COVID in 2022. I am on my 3rd year of losing hair. I can relate to your video especially when you were combing your hair. That is exactly what happens to me. Doctors can’t help me. Dermatologists have no answers. I take vitamins, biotin, minoxidil and now they have me on finasteride which is making the shedding worse. I have tried hair masks, special shampoos, not wearing ponytails, just trying everything I can and still have no relief. I know there are worse things that people are going through and I feel guilty for complaining about my situation because as people tell me “it’s just hair”. But there is an emotional component to this that can really weigh on you. Thank you for sharing your journey and making me feel not alone.
I'm coming up on 15 months of losing my hair. Probably 2/3 gone.
I'll keep you in my prayers. It is devastating. ❤
Had Covid pneumonia in Sept. 2021 and it’s exactly 2 months later and I was bawling in the shower as huge clumps of my hair was coming out. My “doctor” misdiagnosed me with alopecia areata. And they wonder why we google medical stuff🙄. I was actually a bit relieved to know what was going on and that it most likely will grow back. I was wondering if anyone else got joint pain along with it? My hands and feet are aching like crazy and I started getting shortness of breath here and there and light chest pains. The whole thing is just annoying and weird. Your video is very sweet and uplifting. So glad yours is growing back!
I am sorry to hear that you are going through this, unfortunately alot of people that i know are going through the same thing. i also had the same symptoms post covid, along with fast heart beats, i went to the doctor and got some blood tests done, it turned out that i have overactive thyroid and very low vitamin D. I started taking vitamin D supplements and thankfully 6 weeks later, my thyroid function was back to normal. I am currently suffering from talogen effluvium, i have lost more than half of my hair already, but i have spoken to my dermatologist and she reassured me that all my hair will grow back. I also decided to get platelet-rich plasma injections to help with the hair growth but again it takes few months for you to see results. Now in regards to joint pain, it is most likely to be your muscles got weak post covid again, i found cycling to be helpful because it strengthens you leg muscles. For body itching, you can use antihistamine tablets like zyrtec or telfast. I hope this helps and stay strong.
If you had covid in September, your hair should be growing back by now. How is it doing? I have covid right now. After one week my hands hurt too, my throat tingles, I had a terrible flu. Hair is starting to die and falling out. Help
@@helenarichard my hair did stop falling out and is slowly growing back. Hang in there, things will get better. Time definitely heals, it’s just we all live in the age of right now! I’ve been drinking stinging nettle tea and it’s helped with my hand pain. If you had Covid in your chest bad and were/are coughing a lot make sure you haven’t injured any ribs. I had a few out of alignment from coughing and one day I just turned wrong and the pain dropped me to my knees and I was extremely short of breath. Thankfully I have a good chiropractor who put me back in shape. Praying things improve quickly for you in Jesus name! 🙏🏻✝️
Another Black Woman...SENDING YOU APPRECIATION & GRATITUDE!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for posting this video, Natasha!! I’ve currently gone through the major shedding phase. As of three weeks ago the shedding seems to have stopped and I’m seeing tiny baby hairs around my hairline.
I hope your hair regrowth journey continue to go smoothly! Thank you again for these words of encouragement. It really did help me come to terms with this hair loss reality and see it in a more positive light (a chance to try new hair colors and styles with wigs!!). Can’t thank you enough!
This was a beautifully done video! I absolutely love the kind words you speak to people. I found it uplifting, and exactly what I needed to hear! I have been stressing about my hair loss for about a month. The struggle is real! Thank you for shedding light on the subject, and being an encouragement to others who are struggling as well! Take care😁
Thank you so much for this video. I am dealing with this now. I had COVID in December and finally think my hair is starting to grow back. I took a picture of the back of my head and all the hair loss really had me depressed. This video really helped me to have more hope though, so thank you
Ditto pretty much everything that you said....I had Covid in March and my hair has been falling out for about a month now. Yes, it depressing and unless it happens to you people don't understand how much it hurts to see all of that hair in the brush or on the floor! It's scary because you don't know when it will stop and how much you will actually loose. I wish all you that are loosing your hair a speedy recovery!
@@RosemarieSKikel is it grow back ?
@@hemangidattani6690 Thank you for asking.....I don't see new hairs growing back yet but it has stopped falling out so much. My hair is long enough that I can put it up and make it look ok but in the front I have to add some toppik or style it that you don't see the thinning,
@@RosemarieSKikel same here I have very long hair but day by day I reduced volume and how much time it takes for stop hair fall ?
@@hemangidattani6690 I wish that I could tell you but I think it's different for everybody, My hair loss stopped I would say after 6 weeks. I am waiting to see some baby hairs ! Did you loose your taste and smell while you had Covid? I wonder if there is some kind of connection?
I’ve began to loose my hair whenever the pandemic started/quarantine. It’s slowly starting to slow down:) thanks for this :)))
Same. I didn’t have Covid but the stress made me so ill that I lost a third of my hair.
Beth Heller how long have you been sheeding for?
@@karime9256 it shed the worst for 3-4 months but I still shed way more than I used to at 9 months now.
@@bethheller7734 update?
I've been looking to videos of this issue for emotional support. I'm going into 5 weeks of 300-500 hairs loss BUT of course only when I wash it and comb it is it worse. Other days it's close to that 100 a day.
I have long, thick, dark hair...or I did. Very sad and very confused because I've had major surgeries in the past and did not have hair loss like this.
I suggest washing hair with distilled water. Don't use biotin vitamins till hair actually starts growing back. Take multivitamins, rest, and hydrate. Massage scalp 10-15 minutes a day VERY GENTLY. I did research on fenugreek and clove oils, masks, and other remedies here on TH-cam....however, with Telogen Effluvium, you're gonna have to ride the shedding lightbolt! Nothing will prevent your hair from going through this phase so save your money. If you want to invest in a wig, that's ok. But your hair is growing back. Simple hair covering with scarf or bandana and baseball hat works too, and you could also use those on any occasion or day.
When your hair starts growing back, I'm going to assume 2-3 months after the chronic hair shedding from TE, THEN, but slowly, incorporate hair growth products like Biotin vitamins and thickening hair products, and natural home made remedies. It'll make those strands stronger. However, I've noticed new growth and they too are falling out at this point. The new growth could be from using biotin and clove water in my hair while it's shedding...but it has no effect if your scalp is in telogen phase. What's helpful to keep shedding also is loose braid. Loose hair tie at the back of head and 4-5 twist styles on crown(top) of head and clip it with hair clips. Not too tight though...Wash once a week if you're not busy(sweating) too much, 3x if you are.
In the meantime, embrace the suck. This too shall pass. God bless you all going through this and I hope for you to have patience in your recovery. For a woman, her hair is her crown...so yeah, it does mean something to shed it at the magnitude caused by TE and to COVID. For any woman losing her hair to anything is emotional. However, find support, stay active, do yoga and meditate to alleviate stress, and know this...indeed you're a beacon of beautiful! May God shed comfort and light through your TE shedding process!!!
How are you now ☺ has your hair recovered i really hope so ...
@@cearilindubhlaoi9507 It's growing back but the texture is different...
I got Covid this year and was pretty sick. Going through this now, thank you for this video!
Been suffering with TE for a year and a half - had very thick hair and now I’ve lost over half. Was caused when I was 15/16 by having consecutive anxiety attacks every day for 4 months. I just hope it gets better before uni (sept 2022)
Did it get better?
does your new hair also fall out ?
updates!
I loved this video thank you because this is one of the most traumatizing things I’ve been through. Thank you!♥️
I had coved in both lungs and hospitalized! I survived which was a miracle and started losing my hairs 2 months later. As a woman its so depressing but a you so beautifully spoke we are survivors and hopefully hair will grow back!! Thank you for your inspiration and positivity. My doctor said at was a miracle is lived and I remind myself it isnt forver!!
Your a doll, thankyou for your video. Im a 58 grandmom. Had covid 3 months ago. Ive lost half my hair, its unbelievable, never happened before.thank you for your encouraging video. Love your accent ♥️
Going through this myself right now. Thank you for this video
Going through this right now too....more than half of my hair is gone
Same here.. i cried out of the shower the other day. Its so bad i am losing my shit!
I cried so much over the amount endlessly falling out. However I started taking 'hair burst' vitamins to try and stop it. After two months lots of baby hairs now :)
@@Sam-wc7uo turns out the cause was anaemia for me, so once I started taking iron it has started to grow back
Up! Hows your hair now guyz?
Came here for a solution and left with the therapy session I didn’t know I needed 🥺
I really appreciated this. I felt like it was like an older sister talking me through it.
Thank you x
Thnank you so much for sharing your story Ms. Natasha, it’s a horrible thing to go through and we went through the same back in February 2022, after having it in December 2021, the shedding was devastating and lost 75% of my natural hair, after months later and many collagen supplements later, she started to recover slowly but surely. Glad to see your beautiful hair and keep up the great work. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this! You are now my positive morning affirmation
Thank you. "You are not your hair" is what I needed to hear x
i have been searching every corner of the internet trying to find something to help put me to ease about my current hair loss journey, and this is the first and only video that has done that for me. i started noticing my hair thinning summer of 2020 but it wasn’t too terrible and i just kept on with my life. fast forward to summer of 2021- i caught covid in august and was so sick for weeks on end. by october my hair was falling out in clumps and it still is falling out every single time i touch it. i can see my scalp from the top and from the sides, and it’s completely ruined my self esteem. it’s caused such a severe depression for me that i’ve isolated myself and won’t go out in public. i hope the shedding stops soon. thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us all! you are such an encouragement. we are all so much more than our hair. i wish you the best of luck on your regrowth journey! thank you for being such a light in a dark time for me. 💛
I have felt the same as you and totally understand the devastating effect it has on your life. I want to just live my life to the fullest but the whole hair thing holds me back so much in absolutely everything i do. Working, socialising, dating. Its not easy but lets try not to let this beat us. Easier said than done i know. Your really not on your own. Sending hugs
@@Mixablemike hugs to you too, friend. 💛
@@sophiespensley2719 ive just started using fenugreek seed for my hair. Look it up on here. Just soak fenugreek seeds in water overnight, drain and put the water in spray bottle and spray scalp and hair, leave amd rinse. Ive read so many good things on it. Ive only tried it once but worth a go. Its meant to be great for thinning hair x
@@sophiespensley2719 did the shedding stop?
you are such a strong woman - thank you for your support & valuable content! It just feels good not to be alone!
It is very important to be thankful for our lives.
Thank you for the video. So sorry for what you went through. Currently going through tellogen effluvium too after covid 😞 but ur video helped and I know after watching ur video it’s real, I’m not imagining it! X
Thanks for sharing your story. Your beautiful inside and out, thanks for your positive attitude. I’m experiencing the same condition from having the nasty virus. I normally have very thick hair, so its been difficult to experience all of the shedding.
You are such a sweet and beautiful person on the inside out. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot❤️❤️ Also..I Love, love, love your accent! Could listen to you all day!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've lost 50 % of mine get good days and very bad days I had major surgery took clots in my legs and lung was on blood thinners when they finished I took COVID your video has really helped me thankyou your personality is fantastic new sub greetings from Ireland ☘️
Loved your comforting nature in this video, thank you. I’ve struggled with TE since about 2018 primarily due to mental illness and malnutrition. My hair has come and gone. And come back only to be gone again. Rinse and repeat. I DID actually decide to shave it in 2020 and now its at my shoulders. But it’s a battle that I’ll continue to fight as my health slooowly improves. Just gotta go with the flow sometimes 🌊
♡Thank you♡ for such a kind uplifting video on a v difficult & emotive topic. Today I'm going to get my hair cut & coloured(highlights which i'm told are ok as the foil protects scalp.) I feel v emotional as it's first time I've had hair done in 19 months & since i've had T.E Thanks also for mentioning skin as mine has gotten incredibly dry all over & didn't know it was related. Im 44 so not young like you but as a woman this is v hard. I'm also single & know men love hair so this couldn't have come at a better time. ;) I send love & hair healing vibes to all. ♡
I am currently experiencing this. Thanks for sharing what happened for you--it's very helpful. You seem so sweet and adorable!
Thank you so much for posting! Going through this now ❤ thank you
My hair has always been black and ginormous and curly it got in my way a lot but I loved it. Now I can’t even get it big again with dry shampoo or hairspray or teasing. I’ve cried everyday. My hair feels so thin. My hair has always been my best feature and now it’s about 20% gone. This video helped me feel a good bit better. You should do an update!! I subscribed. You’re so beautiful and so sweet and I’m about to binge watch your videos🤍☁️
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really needed this.
I love your energy. Thank you for this relief 🥹🤍
Hey lovely, I hope you are doing well. It would really mean a lot if you could provide an update on your situation. I hope you kept your optimism, it is beautiful. Take care ❄️🤍
i got covid in october and my hair has been shedding ever since and has still not slown down ☹️☹️☹️ shits so demotivating,, anybody experience any regrowth ??
Thank you for making this video. You seem like a kind and caring person. This really helped me feel better.
I’m suffering from this today.. lord help us all
Yes ❤
Thank you for this. Hearing such a kind words is really nice and helpful. Even if it's hard, I'm going to have fun anyways🥰🥰🥰
So needed to hear this. I had Covid back in mid Oct (21) mid January now & I've started shedding alot of hair, especially after washing it. I'm taking biotin & washing my hair with "Bioxine" shampoo (probably useless) but hey ho, one must try !! Thanks for your positive & very uplifting video !! ❤️❤️
Try mixing in a few drops of homemade rosemary oil in with your shampoo! Studies show rosemary oil to be as effective as topical minoxidil (rogaine) 😊
i’m having chronic TE from a number of things but the main things being low iron and low vitamin D. it’s been a year now of pretty bad hair loss but it’s slowing down thank god. my hair has always been my favorite thing about me and i’ve always had crazy hair goals of long thick hair and throughout this i had to go to very short hair and lost almost 40% of my hair thickness and it’s mentally been very hard. it took everything in me not to start minoxidil because i just wanted my hair back. hopefully it continues to slow down for me and then eventually i’ll get to the regrowth stage
Hi! Is there anyway I can talk with you privately please? Your story’s just like mine!
@@AlexFarr-jg5jp i don’t really have another platform to talk personally, what are your questions?
@@brielynne39 thanks for responding so quickly. How is your hair doing? I’m struggling to find someone who has also been having chronic TE. Its coming up to 9 months of shedding for me. I have low ferratin of 26 and on iron supplements but have only gone up to 42 in the past 5 months or so. Do you have low ferratin ? I’m trying to work out if this is the cause and have had low vit d and folate which is now back to normal. Also I don’t shed clumps but there’s constantly individual hair coming out every time I brush and shower and there are white bulbs on the end my texture has also changed and not taking colours properly. I am actually a hairdresser who specialises in wigs ironically so I know it’s not normal and I’m balding in my temple area and down my ears with overall thinning. What does your hair loss look like as there’s a slight concern for female pattern baldness. I also wanted to ask If you have had fluctuating sheds that haven’t stopped at 6 months. I’m wondering if this is a whole new shed or it’s the same one! Sorry for all the questions.
@@AlexFarr-jg5jp their all good questions. i originally had low iron and vitamin D, my doctor didn’t specifically test my ferratin so i can’t speak for that. my vitamins d went up pretty well, it only took maybe 3 months. my iron took close to a year to fully get up. i had what i would consider pretty consistent hair loss for a year and a half, my hair loss was visible at my hairline/temples but i also has general hair thinning. hair that falls out at the root will have a bulb at the end so that is a normal thing to see with hair loss but i also experienced some hair breakage because my hair wasn’t healthy. i also was getting pretty concerned for awhile that it could be AGA or female pattern hair loss, but as of now my hair loss seems to be in a normal range (which can still be a lot some days, humans just naturally lose a good amount of hair on a daily basis) now i haven’t experienced any hair regrowth yet and i’m still concerned about going through another hair loss cycle but i have hope that buy the 2 year mark all my lab levels will still be normal and i’ll hopefully be starting to get some regrowth. i totally understand all your questions and understand the fear and emotions that come with hair loss, i’m not a pro but hopefully this clears up some of your main questions
@@brielynne39 wow so glad I found your comment on here as it sounds so similar to me. I’m not sure if you know but ferratin is the iron storage even though my iron seems to be ok. This gives me a little hope that hopefully when my bloods go up the shedding will stop. My hair is also breaking and just so thin. Thank you so much for your replies. I’m glad you have came out the other side! I would be the happiest person in the world if this stops. My hair is also everything to me and after watching people loose there hair for years I never thought I would go through it and constantly told my clients to not stress. I have been absolutely devastated it’s taken over my life for the last 9 months. I have had 2 rounds of prp and due my 3rd in a couple of weeks. I would recommend trying prp for regrowth as I did feel my hair was trying to grow but because I’m still shedding it’s just falling out again. Also I have looked into nutrafol as I’m also not keen on minoxidil. It’s expensive but I have seen a lot of good things.
I had SEVERE covid and my hair is falling out in handfuls as i type this ... thank you for posting this xxx
My massive hair loss has stopped since i posted this! changing to natural hair products and i take multi vits and i switched to natural laundry products too ... i don't brush it when it is wet, i only use wide tooth combs. It is starting to grow back a bit with tiny weeny hairs growing in the parting under my fringe and the nape of my neck! mine was really bad from Sept until December and the feel and look of it improved after the first wash using SUKIN hair products and even more when i used the sensitive one and i have since added in the conditioner too and a tiny drop of leave in conditioner since the new hair growth as it helps to smooth it down a bit... my remaining hair was in terrible condition especially at the back of my hair as i lay flat for 21 days when i had covid and couldn't shower or wash my hair so that improved from the first Sukin use too ...
Been through the same experience as yours. I am a covid survivor. Luckily, I was able to recover from this severe hairloss after almost a month. I took collagen powder, Biotin, vitamin E and vitamim C everyday.
Was it greasy and did it grown back in ??
Was it greasy and did it grown back in ?
I’m going through hairless now 2 months after Covid. You are so nice I’m in tears
How are you doing? Has your hair stopped shedding? Going through the same ❤️
@@ruthiebeaut3 hello I'm doing great 👍 it stopped after 3 months hairs growing back.
This is happening to me exactly the same as you, it comes out after washing in scary amounts. I had thick hair so it’s not noticible yet unless you have a good look. I hope your hair is growing back in abundance. I am having this after a kidney transplant though not Covid.
I am experiencing hair loss, clumps, it’s quite overwhelming. Thank you. I had Covid and was very sick in august and my hair is still falling out. It is very noticeable as I had very very thick curly hair. Yes I am panicked, but these videos do “shed” some light. Thank you
When did your hair start falling? I also had flu wayback august for almost 2 weeks. Lost almost 5kgs. My hair started falling just this start of November. Im very worried coz I really lose a lot of hair everyday.
Same here, Covid at end of August and now over 50% of hair is gone😥
My hair continues to fall out
I’ve been to 2 doctors and a dermatologist
I’ve had all kinds of blood work done. It is really horrifying, I have almost no hair now.
The dermatologist told me it was called telogen effluvium. She seems quoted certain the “shedding” will flow down and that my hair will grow back…🙏
@@denisegleason6155 one of my Sisters in Christ reminded me of how in August they did that thing with the 5g towers and how the radiation is affecting a lot us...while yet we are using other scientific terms etc. Prayers up🙏
@@Davissavedbygracethrufaith thank you
I think you had back to back TE which is why your shed was so bad :/ I hope your hair has grown back love!
Thank you for the hope and encouraging words!!
Please could you do an update on this? I'm going through the same thing, it's been a year since I noticed the shedding like yours, and I'd love to see your progress as I don't feel like I've got anywhere xx
Update?
What a Sweetheart! Thank you for all your encouraging words. I actually do feel better. I was considering shaving my head. But I’m 56 and it’s not a good look for me. Lol my face shape and all. I did cut it at shoulder length; bob. I may try the aloe vera suggested by others for the scalp or a coffee scrub, but really I’m taking the vitamins and being patient and not upset! That doesn’t help. Thank you for this video.
Natasha - Loved the words of encouragement! Thanks for posting this. I was in ICU with COVID Pneumonia for 9 days in December - started losing my hair around March...I think it has started to slow down a bit. 🤞
Taking vitamins and trying to stay positive - glad to still be here!!😊
Absolutely love your accent!!❤️
omg same here. I had COVID form Dec 20- Jan1 and had all my hair up until early March. I have pictures of my hair from Early March that i compare to the end of March and the amount of hair i lost from then up until the beginning of May is crazy. A friend from HS gave me the idea to so i also had my own memorial service for my hair. (Silly i know but it helped me get over the loss and full grieve then instead of every-time i did my hair). Now the end of May and im praying that these vitamins and leaving it alone does it some good. Prayers for all of us !!!!
How's your condition now? What vitamins did you take? Did you use some spray like minoxidil?
i am very happy ....because i loose my hair extremely starting from june..yet may hair fall is start...your vidio is very helpful for me...make me strong...love from india

Please please please please please please do an update on your Telogen effluvium please please please, a very big request from me, please...
Yeah we need an update
Are u experiencing this rn?
You are a great person! Thank you for your positive aspects!
Thank you for sharing your story. I spent 2.5 weeks in ICU with Covid and now my hair is shedding horribly. I had covid 2.5 mos ago.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had covid in may and I am having extreme hair loss with some itching on scalp and all over my body. Did you get those symptoms as well? Also did you have any blood work done?
I had chronic telogen effluvium for over 3 years and the only thing that cured it is minoxidil, period. I tried everything else and nothing worked. My hair is back to normal now but growing very slowly 😂
How is it now?
I’m six weeks into a huge TE event and have been using minoxidil for a month but it’s still shedding every day
@@meganrae8840 I’m nearly 3 years on topical min and it’s still working. I still shed daily but way less and I have long hair now :) just stick with it
You are so sweet! I am going through the same thing. It is a little scary and I have never really liked my hair and have often thought of getting wigs or hair pieces. Could this be karma....?? Now is my chance, and I know my new hair growth will be healthier than what I was dealing with before! I've done a lot of research on various supplements like ashwagandah, saw pawlmento, and probiotics that help with stress levels and hair loss so I will be giving those a try as well.
How is your hair doing now?
Has your shedding stopped yet? Are you having any regrowth yet?
I just started experiencing this 2 weeks ago. I’ve already lost about half of my hair volume!! It’s devastating!! I’ve always had REALLY THICK, HEAVY hair! I only just discovered yesterday that this is associated with Covid that I had 2 months ago! So I’m just at the beginning of researching this. Had never heard of Telogen Effluvium before. Please tell me that it doesn’t last that long and that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
How is it now? Going through the same
Wonderful and uplifting video! I will take your advice and take the chance to have some fun with it :)
Thanks for your video. Hope your locks are growing thick & gorgeous! I am shedding like crazy. Ruled out the most causes w/ my doctor. Maybe I had Covid & didn’t know it. My son is getting married next month. Hoping it won’t be too bad for photos!
Thank you so much for making this video! I went through Covid hair loss despite the fact that my Covid symptoms were relatively mild. The shedding has stopped now and my hair is regrowing slowly but I am really worried it will happen again the next time I catch Covid. Have you had Covid again since and did you go through this again?
Hey natasha pls tell us about your hair now I hope that you are better I'm waiting for the update..❤
Omg thank you so much. You are a light!
Thank you you are amazing I am going through this after covid it’s slowing now and I love my wigs!
How are you going? Are you starting to see regrowth? How long did your shedding last if so? Going through this now and feeling terrified!
@@ruthiebeaut3 my hair is coming in thick now about 2 inches long mixed in with the longer strands it was horrendous but do whatever gets you through for me it was the pieces eat nuts protein speed the process up but try not to stress
@@Rosevalentine6 ❤️ thanks for sharing Lisa. Glad to hear you seeing regrowth, hoping my journey will have the same results. Would you be able to share how long you’re shedding lasted?
@@ruthiebeaut3 hi it started shedding in sept I had covid beginning July snd it lasted 8 weeks then suddenly stopped will try add some pics
@@Rosevalentine6 thanks so much for replying. oh I’m glad you’re stopped so quickly! Great to here you have recovered. That gives me some hope even though I’m on week 10!
now I am suffering for my hair fall. But thank you for your lovely video. Love from INDIA
I'm just gonna shave my head of this happens to me, already suspecting thin hair due to iron deficiency anemia. 70% of my strands falling out would have me looking like Gollum. I did have covid nearly 2 months ago and I can't discern between anemia related thinning and new thinning, but my hair line is looking suspiciously barer.
Thank you so very much.. your words were wonderful...
Hi there! Thank you for sharing…I appreciate your intro so much as it’s comforting…but question, how long did it take for your hair to grow back and did your scalp feel painful or itchy?
Thank you so much for this video. You are so sweet. This was very helpful.
This is so relatable, thank you so so much
Still come back to this for encouragement ! My shedding has slowed down tremendously hasn’t stoooed yet completely. Losing 30-40 hairs daily now on wash days non wash days it’s less. It’s worse after my hair dries from the shower but I see regrowth! Mines from stopping birth control (depo):/ praying this stops soon.
Hi! How is your hair doing now? I am going through it right now also because of stopping a birth control. How long did yours last?
@@carinavolante4897 what about your hair loss?
@@leylanurcandemir9734 it's been interesting. The hair loss slowed down after about 4 months and I am noticing some new growth but....I am still losing a little daily and my scalp is painful most days. Also the texture of my hair has changed. Feels very dry and stringy
@@carinavolante4897 if you don't mind me asking, did you ever shed baby hairs in these shedding periot?
@@leylanurcandemir9734 yes big time, right around my forehead. It's starting to grow back now. But I'm still losing some hair from the follicle when I shower and brush. It still hasn't completely stopped
Vitamin D3 deficiency. Check you Vitamin D levels.
