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?

I will preface this by saying its not for everyone. I know some ladies that went with wigs when their hair started thinning. One just does a topper, more or less like extensions but clips on the top of your head. The other full on accepted it and just buys cheap wigs off Amazon. They are better than Halloween wigs but cheaper than real human hair. There is a learning curve to picking out ones that aren't obviously fake and trimming and wearing them so that don't look like they are wearing a wig. There are videos on YouTube to help with all that. Also some hair stylists will trim them for you. It works well for her. Except for wanting to buy all the wigs in addition to all the shoes.

As an aside, if you are one to want to have vibrant unnatural colored hair it can be a better route to go than dying because the wigs don't fade or grow out. You can spend $20-40 on a fun colored wig that you just replace when it wears out or $100+ on getting your hair dyed and touched up.
