Hey, I'm Jasmine

At 36, I was doing everything I was told to do for my hair — and it kept getting thinner.

I was living it:

  • My part getting wider every month
  • My ponytail shrinking to half the size it used to be
  • Hair on my brush, in the shower drain, on my pillow
  • Growing hair on my chin while losing it on my head
  • Styling around the thin spots and avoiding photos

I tried the biotin. The growth oils. The edge serums. The expensive salon treatments. Nothing touched it.

It wasn't my hair care routine. It was my hormones.

When Your Doctor Says "It's Just Stress" But Your Hair Says Otherwise

"Your labs are in range." "Hair loss is normal with PCOS." "Just try minoxidil."

Sound familiar?

You're not imagining it. For many women with PCOS, hair loss isn't about your hair at all. The thinning, the facial hair, the stubborn weight, the breakouts along your jaw — they're not separate issues.

They're all connected to androgens.

Your Hair Loss Isn't A Hair Problem. It's A Hormone Problem.

PCOS often means higher androgen levels. Your body converts testosterone into DHT — and DHT binds to your scalp follicles and shrinks them over time.

Smaller follicles grow thinner, weaker strands. Then eventually, they stop growing at all.

That's why the vitamins haven't worked. That's why the oils haven't made a difference.

You're not failing. You're feeding follicles that DHT is still shrinking.

The answer isn't another hair product. It's addressing the DHT.

I Tried Everything (And None Of It Touched The Cause)

Biotin & Hair Gummies

Months of gummies and nothing changed. Biotin helps if you're deficient — but it does nothing about the DHT that's shrinking your follicles.

Minoxidil

The shedding phase scared me. The flaky scalp didn't help. And once I stopped, I was back where I started — the hormone driving it was never addressed.

Growth Oils & Serums

Rosemary, castor, edge control — I spent a fortune on bottles. They made my hair feel nicer, but they worked on the surface of a problem that starts underneath.

Why Pumpkin Seed Oil + Saw Palmetto Changed Everything For Me

Pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto are two natural ingredients studied for their ability to support healthy DHT balance. When DHT is less active at the follicle, your hair has a better chance of growing the way it used to.

Targets The Root Cause

Saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil help support healthy DHT levels, so your follicles stop getting the signal to shrink.

Less Shedding, Less Worry

Fewer strands in the drain. Less on the brush. You stop dreading wash day and start enjoying your hair again.

Feel Like Yourself When You Do Your Hair

No more styling around the thin spots. No more checking your part in every mirror. Just a quiet moment of recognition — "there I am."

What To Expect When You Start

Month 1

The groundwork. Your hair cycle is slow, so this month is about consistency. Many women notice less hair in the shower drain first. It's subtle — but it's the first sign things are shifting.

Months 2-3

Shedding starts to settle. Your brush is cleaner. Your hair feels stronger when you style it. Wash day stops feeling like damage control.

Months 3-6

Your part looks less see-through. Your ponytail feels fuller in your hand. You don't style around it. You don't check the mirror twice. You just walk out the door.

"I noticed the shedding first."

Around week six I realised I was leaving way less hair in the shower. By month three, the little hairs around my part were finally starting to fill in.

"My part looks so much better."

My part was the thing I checked every morning. It finally looks denser in photos and I do not obsess over it the way I used to.

"The baby hairs came first."

I started noticing short new hairs around my temples and hairline. That was the first time in ages I actually felt hopeful about my hair.

"My ponytail feels thicker."

Wash day is less stressful and my ponytail finally feels more substantial again. I can actually wear my hair up without checking every angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from other Black Queens.

Why does PCOS cause hair loss?
PCOS often comes with higher androgen levels. DHT, a potent androgen, can shrink scalp follicles over time, leading to thinner hair and a wider part.
When will I start noticing results?
Hair grows slowly, so give it at least 3 months of daily use. Many women notice less shedding first, with visible fullness from around months 3–6. Individual results vary.
Can I take this with spironolactone, metformin or birth control?
Check with your doctor before combining it with any medication, especially ones that affect your hormones.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or trying to conceive?
Saw palmetto isn't recommended during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Speak to your doctor first.
Is this a treatment for PCOS?
No. It's a supplement that supports healthy DHT balance and hair. It isn't a replacement for medical care.
