I never had very thick hair, not even as a child, and during university it kept thinning more and more. My mom and grandma also had quite thin hair, so I always thought it was hereditary and there wasn’t much to do about it. On top of that, my hair was oily. I was constantly washing it and using dry shampoo to make it look somewhat decent. Despite that, I was bothered by the condition of my hair, so over the years I tried several different treatments. None of them brought much improvement.

Then, three years ago, I got pregnant, and during that time, my hair beautifully thickened, and the oiliness disappeared. Instead of washing it every day, once a week was enough. I knew this was thanks to hormonal changes, but it gave me hope because I saw it was possible to somehow bring those hairs back. Maybe I could have thicker hair.

After giving birth, however, I had neither the time nor energy to take care of my hair. The hormonal boost was gone, and in the postpartum period, my hair was in worse condition than ever before. Last September, I finally decided to give hair treatments one last chance and tried oxygen therapy. The oiliness started improving after the second treatment, and now I only wash my hair twice a week because I have to do the treatment.
