Just Minoxidil and Finasteride are accepted by the FDA as treatments for thinning hair. They both work slightly differently with Finasteride being available to men only and Minoxidil being safe to use for both men and women. How much hair they thicken and to what degree varies on an individual basis.
There is however a vast array of products that will cosmetically thicken thinning hair and add body and thickness to hair. These can make a dramatic difference to one's appearance.
Certain conditioners and shampoos are specially designed to give bounce and added thickness to thinning hair without damaging it. They should contain no harmful chemicals and ingredients. They mostly work in a similar way to each other in that they contain some kind of thickening agent that adds density to hair. There are also sprays and mousses that do a similar job of adding thickness and volume. These are applied manually by hand and have the advantage of giving you the freedom to style hair in a way that suits you individually. Drying hair by blow drying can damage hair and make it look even thinner in the long run.
The correct type of hairstyle can do wonders to add the illusion of thicker hair with more body and volume. Shorter cut hair usually makes thinning hair look thicker and stronger. Crew cuts for men with thinning hair make hair look thicker. Men with thinning hair that grow it longer in the attempt to make it look thicker often end up with the opposite result, thinning hair being weighed down by more weight, bringing more attention to the thinning hair. For women with thinning hair that want to create the appearance of thicker hair a short hair cut also can produce the desired result of the appearance of thicker hair, a bob type cut that is layered can instantly provide volume to hair.
Thickening hair by use of hair extensions can damage it by adding weight to what is already a potentially weakened hair root and follicle. The long run result of using extensions can be even further, accelerated thinning of the hair.
For immediate cosmetic results that make thinning hair appear thickener specific hair loss and thinning hair sprays and microfibers might be a benefit. These can often provide immediate effects as they are in effect make ups. The aim is either to mask the difference and contrast between hair and scalp, as in the case of certain lotions or to add volume to thinning hair in a similar way that mascara does to eye lashes. Keratin microfibers work in this way and increase the thickness of thinning hairs. Keratin is the same protein that hair is made of so these type of products can be particularly effective. Of course one should make sure that these contain no harmful chemicals or ingredients that could potentially put one's health at risk.
The ingredients that these and any other kind of hair thickening products have in them should be taken into account and carefully thought about by anyone trying these products as they could potentially cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Lastly, wigs and hair pieces might be an option for some wishing to have thicker hair.
