What Are the Options for Naturally Thin (Not Thinning) Hair?
I'm a 22-year-old female and have always had fine, thin hair -- in terms of both the hair shaft diameter and the number of hairs on my head. If a hair transplant is not appropriate for all over thinness, are there any other procedures that currently exist or that are being researched that might help?

Hair Loss Info
Even thin hair can make a difference in some cases. If, however the donor area itself is thinned out, the chances of a hair transplant helping become even less. The other thing to do is to identify a possible treatable underlying cause for the hair loss and treat that.

Thin Hair
Hair replacement surgery is not beneficial when treating diffusely thin hair. Your best alternatives include hair extensions combined with products which coat the existing hairs improving shaft diameter.

Hair Transplants are not the answer for naturally thin hair
Hair transplants are probably not appropriate for the condition that you described in your question. Hair extensions, volumizing shampoos, and hair thickening agents are worth a try as enhancements for your hair.

The best solution is "additions".
Hair transplants require a donor area with more hair. The best solution is the use of "additions" which can be attached to your existing hair to create thichness.
