Anyone had good results with hair growth products/methods?

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!

Ooh that's good to know about your results with the keratin and biotin supplements. I took collagen for several months and didn't notice any huge results.
