Choose a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates strip natural oils, exacerbating dryness. Look for moisturizing ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid.
Condition regularly. A deep conditioner, used 1-2 times a week, replenishes moisture lost from Accutane. Focus on the scalp, gently massaging it in.
Limit washing frequency. Washing daily removes essential oils. Aim for every other day or even less often, depending on your hair type and scalp’s reaction.
Hydrate from within. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration supports healthy skin, including your scalp.
Use a humidifier. Dry air worsens dryness. A humidifier adds moisture to the air, particularly helpful in dry climates or during winter months.
Consider a leave-in conditioner or scalp oil. Apply a small amount after washing and conditioning. Look for natural oils like jojoba or argan oil.
