I Wasn't Losing My Hair. I Was Losing My Patience With Every Product That Lied To Me.
I want to be upfront about something: I'm not a hair-care guy. I never have been. I own one bottle of shampoo, I don't own a hairdryer, and until a year ago I genuinely thought "scalp serum" was something only skincare influencers talked about.
But somewhere in the last couple of years, I started noticing it. My hairline in photos looked a little different than I remembered. My part looked wider under bathroom lighting. Nothing dramatic — just enough that I started checking. In the car mirror. In photos before I posted them. In the reflection of my phone screen when it went dark.
I wasn't obsessed with my hair getting worse. I was obsessed with checking whether it had.
