After Covid-19, over 30% of people struggle with increased hair loss. Symptoms most often appear 2-3 months after the first symptoms of infection and affect both hospitalized and asymptomatic people. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Doctors most often explain this phenomenon with a weakening of the body, stress, as well as taking certain medications and staying in the hospital. Additionally, patients are often accompanied by a lack of appetite, fatigue and weakness.
Excessive hair loss, what now?
It is worth taking action on multiple levels, then the results will be more visible. Let's start with the most common cause of excessive hair loss - a deficiency of micro and macro elements.
- Supplementation of deficiencies – it is worth doing blood tests before implementing it and supplementing only the deficiencies. Instead of swallowing any hair supplement, it is worth introducing products with a higher content of zinc, iron, copper or vitamins into the diet. There are many alternatives to tablets.
- Blood tests – hormones also have a huge impact on the condition of hair, it is worth checking their levels to rule out whether an infection is the only cause of hair loss. Thyroid hormones have a huge impact on the condition of hair, and when testing for deficiencies, it is also worth checking this parameter.
- Stimulating hair growth – unfortunately we have no influence on the hair that has already fallen out, but we can fill its place with new baby hair and strengthen it. This is a process that takes a few weeks, but you can definitely see good results.
- visit to a specialist / trichologist / cosmetologist - if the problem lasts very long, it is very possible that the cause of hair loss is more complex. Therefore, it is worth consulting a specialist who will rule out other causes.
How to effectively stimulate hair growth?
Start with a regular scalp massage, stimulating the skin's microcirculation will make the hair bulbs better oxygenated and nourished. Thanks to this, the cells that are directly responsible for hair creation receive more nutrients and are able to produce better quality hair. You can do a thorough scalp massage, for example, during your daily hair wash or watching your favorite series.
To make the massage more effective, it is worth introducing active ingredients into it, which will additionally affect the condition of the scalp and hair. An irreplaceable cosmetic for hair loss is the Ayurvedic hair therapy with Asian pennywort . It contains oils and herbal extracts selected according to Ayurvedic specialists. When choosing the perfect mixture of herbs, their choice, as well as the proportions and type of raw material are extremely important. Herbs in Ayurveda must work synergistically, then we get the best effect and a burst of baby hair.
Apply the oil to your scalp for a few hours, then wash your hair. The best effect is achieved by leaving the treatment overnight, then the treatment will have more time to absorb and work.
The rubbing of oils can be further enhanced by applying an Ayurvedic hair tonic before applying the oil as an additional growth booster. Fenugreek extract strengthens and moisturizes the scalp. The tonic can also be applied on its own, on days when we do not apply oils. The tonic contains only plant extracts, has a light, oil-free formula and does not weigh down the hair, but rather refreshes it.
Regularity is key to fast results, so it is best to use the therapy before every wash, preferably at least twice a week.
When will the effects be seen?
Something we are all waiting for, namely a lush mane, baby hair and increased volume. Unfortunately, hair grows quite slowly and we can only slightly speed up this process. In a month, hair grows about 1 to 2 cm. After a few weeks, we can see visible effects of thickening and a burst of new hair.
