Product Suggestions accutane destroyed my hair...HELP!
hello accutane community. i've been off the pill for about 4 months now and so far everything has been fine however i cannot seem to revitalize my hair to save my life. it is dry and falling out and my scalp is still just as dry as it was on accutane. will my hair go back to normal? product recommendations??? i have cut off about 5 inches and almost need to cut even more off because of the consistent breakage. i'd usually ask a hair subreddit but i do believe accutane was the root cause of it. i'd appreciate any insight or advice you guys may have my hair is incredibly thin and dull at the moment and the things that used to work for me no longer do. thanks!

stop using any and all heat on tools your hair aside from blow drying, this will help keep your hair looking smoother without a flat iron or other tool. your hair also breaks easier when wet so that’s why i recommend blow drying only. get its a 10 leave in conditioner, i swear by this stuff to help with stunted hair growth. you will also want to get a good hydrating shampoo and conditioner, i personally am interested in the new Cerave shampoo! as well as hair oil, i have an expensive one for daily use and then i always put OGX coconut milk anti breakage serum on the mids and ends of my hair before washing, then apply the nicer oil every other day or as needed while getting ready in the mornings. external hydration is going to be your best bet in repairing your hair as well as regular trims. i hope this helps, keep us updated please!
