What Are the Options for Naturally Thin (Not Thinning) Hair?

Question

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?

Some options for naturally thin hair is Scalp MicroPigmentation.  You can see examples of this non-surgical approach to thin or thinning hair in the VIDEO.

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.

Kevin Ende, MD · Answer

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.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

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.

Jack Fisher, MD · Answer

Unfortunately at the present time hair transplant is the only viable option.  However, if the donor hair is thin and sparse even this will not work.
