Roaccutane is a prescription drug used to treat cancer, acne, and other severe skin conditions. Marketed under a variety of names, Roaccutane has been used to treat acne with other ineffective treatments. Side effects include dry skin, eye irritation, nosebleeds, and hair loss. Some patients experience moderate hair loss, while others suffer from severe hair loss. This article describes methods for preventing hair loss while using Roaccutane.

Steps

1. 1 Do not use hair chemicals before, during, or after using Roaccutane. Chemicals such as hair dye, bleaching or straightening products can make hair dry and brittle. The use of such products will aggravate the problem of hair loss, especially with the use of Roaccutane.
2. 2 Moisturize scalp and hair while using Roaccutane. Using moisturizing shampoos and conditioners and hair oils will strengthen your hair and scalp. Roaccutane helps to reduce the size of the hair follicle. Moisturizing the follicles will help strengthen, restore and grow hair.In addition, moisturized hair is less prone to thinning and breakage.
3. 3 Apply zinc supplements to prevent hair loss. Zinc deficiency contributes to hair loss. Roaccutane lowers zinc in some people. Take zinc supplements or zinc-rich foods to strengthen hair. Zinc-rich foods include oysters, dark chocolate, sesame seeds, peanuts, roast beef, and bran. Consult your dietitian physician for more information.
4. 4 Reduce stress. Stress promotes hair loss, and when combined with Roaccutane supplementation can increase the chance of severe hair loss.
   • Avoid stressful situations and circumstances. Avoid uncomfortable situations, avoid people who adversely affect you.
   • Physical exercise. An active lifestyle helps fight stress. Exercise promotes the release of endorphins, which help the body fight stress. Include exercise in your schedule to relieve stress and allow your body to relax.
5. 5 Take vitamin C to prevent depletion of its stores with roaccutane. Vitamin C is excreted from the body while taking Roaccutane, which can lead to hair thinning or hair loss.
6. 6 Control your hormones while taking Roaccutane. Hormonal imbalances can lead to thinning or hair loss. Consult your doctor to monitor and correct hormonal levels. The correct diet and treatment prescribed by your doctor will help balance your hormones.
