Yes, some individuals with lupus have experienced significant hair loss, leading them to cut their hair short or shave it off. One MyLupusTeam member shared, “I lost all my hair due to lupus: body hair, head, eyebrows, and eyelashes.” Hair loss can be emotionally challenging, but treatments and supportive options like wigs, scarves, or new hairstyles can help. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.

@A MyLupusTeam Member..Yes, my thick hair has gotten thinner, and when I brush my hair I leave behind tons of hair! I had thick eyebrows that have gotten thinner as well. I'm putting Castor Oil on my head and eyebrows for hair growth. My eyelashes are still long, haven't lost them yet 🙂

I cut my hair off but mine was a combination of meds, lupus, covid, and chemo. I love m short hair now. I went from bra length to well you can see on my profile Pic. It's just hair but I know it still means a lot

Yes! It’s so incredibly thin it’s crazy… hairstyles that I used to wear I can no longer wear them.
