If you are seriously looking for a product to use for thinning hair my daughter recommends Mane and Tail found on Amazon. It is really for horses but recommended by hairdressers and works well.
Hi Swimmy, I was put off Minoxidil when I first came across it a few years ago. I wasn’t prepared to (perhaps) put up with the side effects that might happen. The possibility of making it worse at the beginning was a definite no no… not to mention the constant cost of it, as I understood you need to use it all the time or the hair would start shedding again.
But thanks for your suggestion. 
I don’t want shine Meg I just want a bit more hair 
I do eat almonds and I can honestly say they’ve done nothing for my hair :shock:
I’ve not heard of Horses Mane and Tail… my mind was boggled after reading your post - I was imagining rubbing myself down like horses are rubbed down,
So I Googled. I might just give it a whirl, I see I can get it in Boots and Superdrug. Thank you cbrown.
I use 3 or 4 thickening (I say that lightly :-D) shampoos and wash first with Vosene (which I love) and then the last wash with whichever thickening shampoo I have at the time.
My hair is fine and tends to look better when it’s got a build up of a spritzer spray I use, also Batiste dry shampoo makes it look better too. Some shampoos make it too soft and it looks worse.
Again, thanks for the suggestions folks.
I have recently started using aftershave balm but that’s because I buy cheap razors (why are razors soooooo expensive?)
I have heard that almond oil is also good for hair.
That made me laugh cbrown, whether it works or not - the chances are you will win the Derby.
