I would recommend meeting with a functional medicine professional if you are able. What helped me might not necessarily work for you. I took a variety of vitamins/herbal supplements and they changed o...

Just thought I would provide a positive update for anyone still following this thread. I started meeting with a functional medicine chiropractor about six months ago. She prescribed different vitamin...

Is everyone using Minoxidil still? How is it going? I'm 2.5 years off the drug and still losing just as much hair.  Still wishing I could go back and time and never would've taken it.

Going through another massive shedding spell. Almost at the 2.5 year mark. When will this end? :'(

Found this article interesting:

I'm curious too how the peppermint oil is working @accutanehairloss @chicanery any updates on your end?

Update: I stopped taking birth control (pill) after being on it for 7 years. My hair is back to square one, losing a ton again :'( I don't think this will ever end..

How is everyone doing? My shedding seems to have slowed but I still hit cycles of where I'm losing a ton

My shedding has been less recently as well! I'm so happy to hear positive updates from you all 🙂

No changes from me either. Some days are better than others.. I feel like my regrowth is improving but I'm still losing just as much hair. I'll be at the two year mark in a few months.. who knows if t...

My hair has felt a bit better recently. I'm still using the Aveda hair products which seem to be helping slightly. However, I'm on my period again and my shedding has increased significantly. Chican...

Hey all, wanted to post a quick update. I went to the salon last week and chopped my hair (it was always fairly long but had gotten to the point of looking so thin and stringy, I was sick of it). So ...

@chicanery mine is terrible right now too! I just switched to an aloe shampoo to see if that helps. Also one thing I have noticed is that my shedding seems to be significantly worse on my...

@Karly123@ is the aloe Vera shampoo still working for you?

@Karly123@ How long have you been off of Accutane? I have some small baby hairs but still shedding the same. I'm going to see if I can get some similar shampoo in the US. Glad to hear positive news! ...

@Karly123@ that's great! Could you share which shampoo you're using? Has anyone tried onion/coconut oil treatments for hair growth? I have heard onions are supposed to be great at stimulating growth ...

@chicanery are you having any regrowth? Are you still using Rogaine? I'm noticing legitimate regrowth now but my hair is still shedding at a faster rate and is so thin. I hope you find some answers wi...

How is everyone doing? My hair is starting to "feel" normal again, but I'm sure it will be followed by another shedding cycle.  

@chicanery I'm not using Rogaine but I feel like I am getting slow regrowth. My shedding has not slowed either though which is causing such thin hair.  I just don't understand ...

My hair is back to shedding majorly. I really thought I was starting to see a difference but it now seems to be getting worse. I'm so sick of trying to style my hair to cover my scalp. Picture of what...

Update: I've lost the regrowth I was gaining and seem to be in another shedding spell.   I'm hoping it's part of the cycle my body is going through to get back to normal, but it's so frust...

No real update from me. I've passed the year mark of being off the drug. I am definitely seeing some small regrowth around my hair line and my hair is feeling healthier.  Still shedding h...
