My doctor put me on tacrolimus instead of cyclosporine for this very reason. It is apparently a newer immunosuppresant that does not have the hair growth side effect! It's only been about 6 or 7 weeks but so far so good!

I don't know if you can switch from csa to tacro but for anyone just going into ATG (and you're female!) maybe you could ask.
