I have been on pred and aza, still taking the aza but my hair is totally fine these days. I personally believe that hair loss is triggered by flare ups, not so much the prednisone although I’m sure it plays a part in it. My experience has been that around 3 months post flare up my hair starts falling out like crazy and this continues for as long as it takes for my colon to heal. Once healing happens it takes about 3 more months for hair to start growing again and another 3 for it to look “normal.” University of Michigan had a great video on IBD and hair loss. I will see if I can find it, I know it was posted here a few years ago.
