“Although there is no doubt the symptom of hair loss occurred in many of those surveyed, this type of study does not provide enough data to directly associate hair loss specifically to COVID infection,” says board-certified dermatologist Annie Chiu, founder ofin Los Angeles and associate faculty member of dermatology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Hair loss and alopecia are among the most common conditions that she treats at her practice.
Chiu empathizes with the psychological impact this kind of shedding has on her patients but notes that telogen effluvium cases are usually self-resolving—with time. “Our bodies eventually reset the ratio of growing to resting hairs back towards normal, but this process can take months,” she says.
Hair miniaturization unfolds throughout a lifetime in what Skjøth describes as “the salami method,” where small “slices” of hair disappear so slowly and consistently that you don’t immediately realize anything is missing. Interestingly, this COVID-related news comes on the heels of Skjøth’s latest tests showing that hair miniaturization can occur in females as young as teenagers.
Once a category dominated by male statistics, the American Hair Loss Association reports that nearly 40% of the country’s hair-loss sufferers are, in fact, women. Triggers include everything from hormone shifts often following pregnancy, stress and emotional trauma, illness, overuse of hot tools or chemical treatments, and, of course, age.

The Other Crisis: Millions Worldwide Have Lost Access to Abortion and Contraceptives Due to COVID-19While many elected officials in the United States have used the covid-19 pandemic to quietly push for anti-abortion legislation, the rest of the world suffers from a scarcity of contraception and abortion resources. The situation is dire. A new report from Marie Stopes International found that between January and June, across 37 countries, 2 million fewer women received reproductive healthcare than during the same time period the previous year. India accounts for 1.3 million of those women. (Abortions are considered essential services under India’s months-long lockdown, but most women were not informed of the clause.) The study anticipates that the lack of reproductive healthcare during this period will cause 1.5 million unsafe abortions, 900,000 unwanted pregnancies, and 3,000 deaths.
