I have never dyed my hair. I use a straightener maybe twice a year. And the front of my head is still full of short hairs that will not lie down. So before anyone asks, here is my list. 👇 🤍 Never colored, never bleached 🤍 Heat maybe twice a year, always with protectant 🤍 Silk pillowcase 🤍 Soft fabric ties, no elastics 🤍 Sulfate free for years 🤍 Protein and moisture, both directions 🤍 Iron and thyroid checked. Everything came back fine. Seven things. Every one of them crossed off myself. It has been about four years now, and it is still getting worse. That is the part nobody has an answer for. My doctor found nothing. My stylist told me to trim more often. The internet gave me a different answer every single time I asked. Meanwhile the hair from my ears forward stopped going past a certain length. Two inches, maybe three, and then it just stops. The rest turned coarse and wiry and poofy no matter what I put on it. It stopped feeling like my hair. It feels like someone else's hair growing out of my head. Then a woman in a comment thread asked me one question that reordered everything. Are the ends pointed or blunt? Pick up one of the short ones at your part and feel the tip. Blunt, like it was cut, means it snapped. That is damage, and a good mask and a trim will actually help you. Tapered to a soft point means that hair never broke. It grew out of your head like that. Short and fine from the start. Mine were pointed. All of them. That was the whole answer, and it explained the thing that had never made sense to me. Damage happens once. It does not spread. Mine started at my part and reached my temples. Nothing that happened to my hair in the past keeps moving across my head. So it was never on the strand. It was in the follicle. There is a hormone called DHT that shrinks the follicle a little more each growth cycle, so every new hair comes in finer than the one before. Fine enough that it snaps before it ever gets long enough for me to notice it as anything but breakage. It has a name. Miniaturization. Which is why nothing topical could help. Every bottle I bought was working on the strand The problem was upstream of the strand. Two ingredients work upstream instead. ✨ Cold pressed pumpkin seed oil blocks the production of that hormone at the source. ✨ Saw palmetto extract stops the hormone that already exists from binding to the follicle. The softgel I take has both at the doses used in the research. 2,000mg of cold pressed pumpkin seed oil and 200mg of lipidosterolic saw palmetto extract. Extract, not powdered seed, which matters more than the label makes obvious. I am not going to tell you what week to expect. Bodies differ. Some sooner, some later. What I will tell you is what I noticed first. ✅ Week 3: My brush stopped collecting short broken pieces. ✅ Week 6: Then the new hairs coming in at my part felt softer instead of stabby. ✅ Month 3: Then, eventually, a morning where I did not automatically reach for a claw clip before leaving the house. Down. In a photo. Not thinking about it. If your list looks like my list and it is still getting worse, you are not doing anything wrong. You have been working on the wrong end of the problem. 👉 https://thebloomandbond.com/products/new-pumpkin-seed-oil-softgels
