Will Prednisone take the perm out of your hair?

Yes it can, prednisone can do a lot of side effects to your body, and your hair is no exception. It is also known for thinning/hair loss as well. Be careful coloring or chemically treating your hair while on any steroid especially prednisone or its affiliates. Everything you eat, etc. will go through your hair, I would try using a clarifying shampoo once a week, and if on a budget use infusium repair/stage 1 shampoo and get a deep conditioning one to two times a week on your hair. If your not on a budget I would suggest Nioxin I have found that Nioxin is a wonderful product, but that only using the shampoo/conditioner may not be fully effective for everyone. When combined with the follicle stimulator everyday it should grow your hair back within 3 months, since normal hair only grows at 1/2 inch per month. It is often recommended to cancer patients during chemo, it can get expensive but depending on the hair thinning/loss or change in the hair it may be worth it.
