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’m a trans man (FTM) and while I’ve gone for the “shave head and let nature take its course” option, a lot of trans men seem to really like finasteride because it doesn’t have as many hormonal side effects as some other treatments. It’s not an at-home method but I believe you can get it from a GP/PCP, you shouldn’t need to go to a specialist. A lot of guys also seem to like minoxadil/Rogaine but you need to watch out if you have cats, because it’s really toxic to cats.

      well, shit. I did not know that about cats. I’m entering menopause and my hair is thinning. I bought a box but hadn’t started using it yet. Guess that’s going on the buy nothing group.

      edit: I also started taking keratin and biotin supplements. While it hasn’t been long enough to notice results in my scalp, my eyelashes are getting long and curly!
