Prednisone and change in hair texture

Thanks for mentioning about changes in hair. Initially at 40 mg my hair became very fine and thinner. As I reduced prednisone hair thickness came back but now my hair is very curly. To the point of friends kind of staring at my hair …like something is different 😊 I am still tapering so will see where I land on hair texture. Really odd to have 60+ years of thick wavy hair to looking like I have a perm. Admittedly compared to all the other side effects I experienced at least this seems more cosmetic 😊

I also have curly hair on prednisone. New to me. My hair dresser can’t believe it!
