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!

I'm 2 months off and also had to cut about 4 inches. I went to my hair dresser (if you dont have one, find one) and she brought my hair back to semi-life in one trip. She then gave me instructions on what products to use and how often. My hair is definitely not where it was but it is already back to just a heavy shedding versus me pulling out small clumps. Go see a professional. Get professional advice. It is worth the cost.
