Thin, fine hair. Nothing's helping!

I've always had thin, fine hair, but for the last 5 years I've noticed it's getting thinner and more lifeless all the time. And it barely grows.

I'm 40 now and for the last 4 years I've done the following:
*made sure I've used heat appliances less than once a week

  • haven't dyed my hair for 20 months
  • have it cut regularly despite it growing at a ridiculously slow pace
  • take biotin, sea kelp and B complex vitamins
  • use biotin shampoo, silicone, paraben and sulphate free
  • use no contraception, so no extra hormones at play
  • have had full bloods done to make sure nothing is awry.

Nothing I do is making any difference. If you got this far, do you have any tips? Or should I accept that I will always be able to see my more and more of my scalp no matter which way I part my hair?
Tia.

Do you have any thyroid symptoms?
It's common for this not to be identified in standards blood tests. The NHS hugely under diagnoses compared to their countries.

@ilovemysleepthief - I think I may give this a go soon. How often do you get it tightened ? Every 6 weeks or so - could or do they also colour & cut your "real" hair ?

I know Betty it's amazing isn't and the transformation is so drastic. A full head of hair can be such a confidence booster !
