Post covid hairfall is very common, it happens because body is in a state of stress and shock during covid infection and hair doesn't get enough nutrition, also the hair is pushed into the falling phase
It takes 3 to 6 months for hair to come back to normal usually not a problem
Lots of proteins in breakfast lunch and dinner
Proteins: kidney beans, legumes, dals, sprouts, paneer, if non veg then eggs, chicken
Also chia seeds Flax seeds
Getting an analysis of your vitamins by a doctor/dermatologist and then starting supplements is the best option
If for 3 months you dont see any change then additional hair serums by a dermatologist may help :)
