Steroids should be avoided both pre and post transplant as well as during ongoing hair loss. High level of steroids increase the levels of 5 DHT too, thus furthering hair loss. In fact newer studies have found more gymming can cause hair loss too.

Steroid is not good if you are planning for hair transplant.
