Covid-19 Hair {Loss} Nerd

My entire life I have had thick hair and never gave it a second thought. The kind of hair that your hairdresser examines before a cut or blowout and says… uhhhh you have a lot of hair… So when my hair started coming out a month after I recovered from Covid-19, I wasn’t super stressed. Fast forward another month and handfuls were continuing to leap from my scalp to clog the shower drain.

I began having conversations with fellow hairdressers. Should I be concerned… this seemed like a lot but also we were coming up on the summer months and things had been stressful. We had photoshoots coming up so Annie installed roughly 8 million Bellami extensions to help bring me back to where I live naturally.

As I approached the New Year with no sign of my hair recovering, I knew it was time for an intervention. I discussed the issue with my doctor who confirmed Covid-19 was indeed responsible for severe hair loss in a tremendous number of individuals. My next logical step was to reach out to the only people I knew that would absolutely know what to do. Enter Nioxin and my hair angel, Diane Cole Stevens.

Diane who is a Global Ambassador for Nioxin was kind enough to Zoom call me from her salon in the D.C. area and do a full consultation with me going over the history of my loss, what I was currently doing and then figuring out how she was going to wave her magic wand to fix my life.

I hung up feeling like this might actually be ok. A few days later, a package showed up at my door with a full system. We NEVER talk about products on The Hair Nerds because our focus is truly the hairdressers behind them, but I felt like this was important because trust me… your clients are experiencing this. I had never dealt with thinning and it was so much harder than I ever imagined.

**My first question was, “Everyone has a vitamin… what makes this different?” Diane was really kind and met my skepticism with a really honest answer… She let me know she is able to take it on an empty stomach with no upset. I am here to confirm this fact which is pretty unusual for me.

It is a lot and took me a second but I have committed the next 60 days to giving it a chance to change my life (no pressure or anything). We will definitely keep you updated on the progress. We figure it has to help because you don’t become the industry’s No. 1 product for creating thicker, fuller hair by not delivering results over the last 30 years. Right?!
