Is this normal when starting birth control?

So I just started taking birth control for my acne about 2 weeks ago. My hair has been feeling thinner and dryer than usual. Also my period started about a week ago at first it was lighter than normal but for the last few days it’s been heavier than normal and it’s lasted longer. Is this typical when starting birth control or no?
