Many people are reporting hair loss as a result of the pandemic.

But as many of us return back to a new normal – there may be something else happening to you that you may think is abnormal; hair loss.
“It can be very disturbing,” Dr.
Khetarpal said.
“Stress-induced hair loss is a phenomena we call ‘telogen effluvium,’ which we have been seeing for years.
It’s not unique because it’s not just people who are having Covid that are seeing hair loss.”
