I've been on accutane for 3 months and 3 weeks and I have noticed that my hair looks thinner. Could this be due to my hairs dryness or is it just thin now? I've been using Fructis "Ultra Recharge" as shampoo and a "for dry/frizzy hair" conditioner. Any recommendations for my situation?

I've heard before from people that were on accutane that it caused some hair loss which could be the cause of hair thinning I guess. I'd imagine it would dry out the pores on your head to then encourage hair falling out.

Maybe talk to your doctor about it?

I definitely haven't noticed any hair falling off or fallen strands wherever I go so I don't think I'm losing hair, but it definitely looks thinner. My age is 16 if that helps
