Yes, I lost my hair three times. Each time it came back finer and grew longer. Natural hair products and hair supplements make a huge difference. Please be extra cautious about using anything containing parabens and sulfates.

Can hair grow back after lupus-related hair loss?
Yes, hair can often grow back, but it depends on the type of hair loss you're experiencing.
Nonscarring hair loss (the most common type in lupus) happens when your hair follicles go into a resting phase during active lupus. Since the follicles aren't destroyed, hair regrowth is possible once your lupus is better controlled. Many people see their hair grow back when their disease activity decreases.
Scarring hair loss from discoid lupus lesions is permanent once scarring occurs. However, treating these lesions early with topical steroids and oral medications can stop them from spreading and prevent further hair loss.
Medication-related hair loss is usually temporary. If your hair loss is caused by lupus medications like methotrexate or immunosuppressants, you may see new growth within a few months after adjusting your treatment plan.
The key to managing hair loss is controlling your lupus first. Once your disease is under control, hair loss typically becomes less of an issue. Talk to your rheumatologist about your hair loss to determine the cause and best treatment approach for your situation.
