The COVID virus is able to trigger a wide range of symptoms from person to person. Increasingly, hair loss is being linked to the COVID virus and recognised as a COVID symptom either at the time of infection, or several months after the event. The Simone Thomas Salon reported a significant increase of new clients during the pandemic visiting after experiencing COVID related hair loss or other related complications from the virus. When the body undergoes extreme circumstances, it rallies to focus on essential operations to keep you alive and fight the infection. Non-critical physical elements, including the hair, can become a lesser priority and excessive shedding can occur as a result.
