Hi Angela370,
I also was taking Humira shots and methotrexate and my hair was thinning terribly. Iā€™m not on the methotrexate anymore. Iā€™m taking a Humira shot every other week and Iā€™m on a low-dose of prednisone. My beautician suggested biotin which is supposed to be really good for hair strength and growth. Also, I take folic acid which was prescribed by my rheumatologist. Im not not sure what type of hair you have. Iā€™m African-Americans so I know we can use different products but I would definitely look at the biotin And the folic acid. I hope this helps.šŸ™

I also had thick curly hair all my life. I didn't even have to twist a scrunchy. Now it's so thin and wirey! Texture has completely changed over last year. I'm 53.
