Sound familiar?

It seemed to come out of nowhere.

  • It started months after the worst was over.

  • More hair in the brush than you've ever seen.

  • You were sick, or exhausted, or both.

  • Everyone says it's stress. Nobody says what to do.

What's going on

Two to three months later.

A fever, surgery or a hard stretch can push many hairs into their resting phase at once. They tend to let go two to three months later, which is why the shed seems to come out of nowhere.

Once the trigger is behind you, shedding usually settles on its own.

Worth knowing

  • Sleep, regular meals and protein matter while it settles.
  • If it started more than six months after the event, a check-up can rule out other causes.
  • Still going on? So can the shed. Be kind to yourself about the timing.

Questions

Will the shedding stop on its own?

Often, yes. Once the trigger is behind you, a shed like this usually settles within months. The routine is a steady base for those months; it doesn't replace time.

Could it be from COVID or a high fever?

Illness and high fever are common triggers. The timing usually fits: shedding starts two to three months later.

When will I notice a difference?

Hair answers in months, not days. A resting hair takes about three months to shed and be replaced, which is why the guarantee runs for 90 days. Results vary from person to person.
