I'm starting to notice my hair is thinning a bit. Nothing drastic. Just natural aging. No, nothing unusual came up when I got my blood tests, my doctor didn't find anything wrong with me.

I'm just asking to see if any of you had good luck with any products. I know grafting is an option, and I also know that there are hair clinics which are very expensive etc. but I'm after an "at home" method.

Is there a product you would recommend?

It wouldn't hurt anything AFAIK. It's just increasing blood flow to the follicles in your scalp (they go dormant and die due to a lack of blood flow). In fact, it's better to start using it BEFORE you notice hair loss because it can only help still-living follicles. Nothing can bring back dead ones without a graft.

I think I'm good. All men in my family have kept their hair well into their 60's.

The price we pay is inability to grow a decent beard before we're 30-40ish
