In August 2020, Alyssa Milano revealed on Instagram that she was suffering from hair loss as a result of "long COVID," which is where people who previously had the COVID-19 virus suffer an array of longer term side effects.
In the short video posted to Instagram, Milano sat in front of a camera with wet hair and began brushing her hair with a detangling brush. After every pass, Milano shows the clumps of hair both in the brush and in her hand. After sharing the final amount of hair she lost, Milano ended with a call for everyone watching to "wear a mask."
