Losing my hair in lockdown

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

Jen Parker a 34-year-old editor and designer from Market Harborough struggled during lockdown. Her business did not qualify for any of the help the government offered. She ended up working more and more hours, her “me time completely evaporated”. Clumps of her hair started to fall out daily; on pillows, carpets and in the shower due to the stress. Jen was left with very thin hair, particularly on the left-hand side of her head. She spoke to BBC Radio Leicester's Ady Dayman.
