Yes: Pharmacia-Upjohn, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, reports that between one and five percent of women who receive the injections experience hair loss or no hair growth. ... However, if your hair fall-out is due to Depo-Provera, then when you discontinue using it, your hair will grow back.Dec 27, 2012
