We don’t need a pandemic to feel stressed out and overwhelmed by the demands of our lives, but it certainly doesn’t help. Though hair falling out and then growing back is a part of the regular cycle of healthy hair, times of stress can both increase the amount of hair lost and can make the loss happen earlier in the cycle. Hair loss due to stress is usually delayed by about three to five months, so if you notice that more of your hair is falling out over the summer, this might be why.
