Prednisone and change in hair texture

So strange. I developed hair problems over the past 1 1/2 years on prednisone but didn’t attribute it to the prednisone. It got very thin, curlier and frizzy. I started massaging my head, using hot coconut oil treatment, and am letting it grow out because I couldn’t style it worth beans. It is almost long enough to pull back into a bun now which solves a lot of problems. It does feel thicker as I taper, currently down to 3 mg going to 2mg. I am using the tapering schedule shared in this forum that takes about 2 months to fully drop from one dose to the next.

Thanks, it’s good to have an explanation other than aging
