Plateau weight won't budge but my hair is filling in

I’ve been parked between 184 and 187 for about nine weeks. Food is tighter, I’m averaging 9k steps, lifting three days, and the scale just shrugs. The weird part is my hair.

I had a rough shedding phase around month four, and now my part looks narrower, I’ve got bby hairs at my temples, and my ponytail feels thicker. I’m not doing any special hair protocol beyond more protein and trying to sleep.

Could be the plateau stress, could be my iron finally catching up, I genuinely don’t know. Anyone else notice their hair improving while weight refuses to move?

I’m trying not to chase every shiny thing, but it’s hard when the scale punishes me and my scalp rewards me.
