You can shampoo dail: You can shampoo every day. There are shampoos made for dry hair. You can wash hair with body wash for dry skin such as Eucerin, Aveeno, (oatmeal) Dove, etc. Use conditioner rinse after shampoo. You will feel much better. Avoid multivitamins because the vitamin A will make this worse. Vitamin A in foods is OK. A week after you finish isotretinoin the dryness of lips, hair, etc. will no longer be an issue.
