Can I make my naturally fine hair (it's not thin) thicker?

Question

I have had fine hair since childhood and I believe it's not genetic because none of my blood-related relatives have it So is there a way to make those fine hairs thicker? Like prp or supplements? *it is not thinning out*

Hi Sandrathair

Plasma from PRP therapy naturally promotes the production of collagen and elastin to reveal tauter, more youthful-appearing skin. It is also an effective treatment for stimulating hair growth. As it uses your own blood, the risk of adverse or allergic reactions is basically nonexistent. To learn more about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hair loss has many causes, including stress, medications, autoimmune, genetic, trauma, etc. Medical treatments can work and options would include finasteride (propecia), minoxidil (rogaine), PRP (platelet rich plasma), laser light therapy, and vitamins. It is often uncertain which medical therapy will help which patient and so a combination of therapies is typically recommended to maximize benefit. A hair transplant is a surgical option and is appropriate for certain conditions and individuals. 
In your situation, the method stated above can all help thicken your hair.

You should consider using a supplement like Viviscal or Nutrafol first before PRP to help encourage hair growth. If you have always had thin hair since childhood then PRP is not going to make your hair thicker. If it is someone who has had a change in hair from thicker to thinner than PRP will be beneficial to help to rethicken hair.

Excellent question. If you have a THIN genetic hair without hair loss then I don't think that any procedure or technique will make it thicker. There are several products over the counter for hair thickening. Good luck.

It is possible to make hair thicker. Finasteride, topical minoxidil, and PRP can increase hair thickness.
