How often should i wash my hair so it doesn't fallout ? i only wash 1 a week because it doesn't get oily or dirty i keep it up + i'm on accutane .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It isn't the washing: the washing isn't getting below the skin and that is from where the hair falls out nearly always. It is a change in hormones/skin/nutrition. Ok... accutane changes skin so much we're all thinking it is that.
