I experienced hair loss about 70% of my hair it was difficult but it came back eventually and best of all it came back curly instead of straight as it was before!

@deniseinca me too. Sudden 50% hair loss over 6weeks after high dose pred. Definitely a side effect of the pred , and not from stress of the illness or anemia , because my hair has now grown back different texture. It’s now curly
( previously straight and fine ) and also thicker than it’s ever been. Hopefully it stays that way.

I did use minoxidil foam , adopted high protein diet & took biotin supplement as advised by the dermatologist , so I don’t know if this helped with regrowth ? Or if my hair regrowth would have occurred anyway?
