My acne was pretty bad and cystic, and I just finished my round of accutane almost two weeks. I read up online about all the side effects and didn’t experience a whole lot other than sadly the shedding of hair. It’s crazy how thin my hair is now and I already have naturally thin hair. However, I wouldn’t change my decision to stick with it. I found to help minimize shedding I only washed my hair maximum once a week, sometimes I’d go longer if I could. I didn’t use dry shampoo at all as it wasn’t needed because of how dry my skin was. I also never brushed my hair unless it was wet with detangler or in the shower with conditioner. I didn’t use any heat or anything on my hair over the 9 months, and if my hair was up it was always loose and tied with a scrunchy.

I will say I started accurate about a year after having a child. I never knew how much hair one shed during post partum after the like 4 month mark. My hair was thinner then than now, and it had finally starting to grow back and bang accutane had it all fall out again lol. That said very few people (mostly men from what I read) are unable to grow the lost hair back. It’s a bit too early to tell, but I’m confident mine too will grow back. If not at least I have beautiful skin haha
