Hair Loss After COVID? Here’s How PONY-O Can Help During Regrowth
Hair loss isn’t the first thing most people think of when it comes to COVID-19—but it’s a surprisingly common side effect. While symptoms like fatigue and loss of smell are well-known, many people have reported increased hair shedding in the weeks or months after recovery.
If you’ve noticed more hair in your brush, in the shower drain, or even caught in your elastic hair ties lately, you’re not imagining it. Post-COVID hair loss is real—and temporary. And the good news? The way you treat your hair during the regrowth stage can make a difference.
Understanding Post-COVID Hair Shedding: What’s Happening and Why
Our hair naturally moves through different phases: a long growth phase (which can last 6 to 7 years), followed by a shorter resting phase, before shedding and restarting the cycle. It’s completely normal to lose 100 to 200 hairs per day, with factors like age, season, and overall health influencing that number.
But when the body experiences stress—like recovering from a virus such as COVID-19—it prioritizes healing. This shift can push more hair into the resting phase, leading to a type of temporary shedding called telogen effluvium.
Here’s the good news: it’s not permanent. In fact, shedding often signals that your body (and your hair) is actively recovering.
According to health professionals, a few key habits can support your hair through this regrowth stage:
-
Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein and nutrients
-
Stay well-hydrated
-
Get regular, gentle exercise to support circulation
How PONY-O Can Help Support Healthier Hair During Regrowth
Along with healthy habits and self-care, consider adding PONY-O bendable hair ties to your routine.
Unlike traditional elastics, PONY-O’s unique, patented design is gentle on hair follicles and helps reduce tension—making it an ideal choice during sensitive regrowth phases.
Less strain means less breakage, which can help support a healthier, fuller ponytail over time.
While hair loss after illness can be frustrating, it’s often just one part of your body’s natural recovery process.
Treating yourself—and your hair—with care can make all the difference.
Hair loss can feel unsettling—but you’re not alone, and it won’t last forever.
This is just one chapter in your body’s healing story—and with patience, care, and the right tools, brighter days (and stronger strands) are ahead. 💛
So be gentle with yourself, give your hair the love it needs, and remember: sometimes, regrowth isn’t just physical—it’s personal, too.
