"By week six, my scalp started feeling genuinely different.
Not just less itchy... like the whole texture changed. Softer…
Calmer… Like it finally settled down."
"Then around week eight... I was doing my hair and I saw these tiny little hairs along my part.
I grabbed my phone, turned the flash on, zoomed all the way in."
"Baby hairs.
Right where my part had been getting wider."
"I sat on my bathroom floor and cried. I'm talking real tears."

Those baby hairs Nia saw are the first sign that follicles which were dormant for years are producing again.
They start fine and soft, then thicken over the following weeks.
