COVID-19 led to many of us to stay at home and isolate to prevent the spread of the virus. During this time, you faced fears of many types. You worried about what would happen if you became ill. You missed your family. You worried about work and paying the bills. All of these factors build up the stress levels in your body. As that happens, hair loss or hair shedding may occur.
