If you've been wondering how to thicken thinning hair, you're not alone. One of the first signs you might be suffering from male pattern baldness is noticing thinner hair, more shedding than usual, and seeing more scalp showing through your hair. If this is the case, the good news is that there are effective, science-backed ways to support stronger, fuller hair.
Here are some of the best strategies for improving hair thickness—and how Sons can help.
- Use Clinically Proven Hair Loss Treatments
If your hair is starting to thin, the most effective step is to tackle male pattern hair loss head-on with treatments that are backed by science. Two standout medications are:
- Finasteride – A daily tablet that works by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles over time.
- Minoxidil – Available in both topical and oral forms, Minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp, helping to revive weakened follicles and stimulate regrowth.
When used together, these treatments address the root causes of hair loss, preventing further shedding while encouraging regrowth. That’s why they’re at the core of our most popular Sons treatment plans, including the Topical Spray and Ultimate Plan.
If you’re serious about results, this is the place to start.
2. Add Biotin to Strengthen Hair
While it’s not a standalone solution for hair loss, biotin (vitamin B7) plays a key role in maintaining the health and structure of your hair. It supports keratin production, which strengthens both new and existing strands.
Although biotin deficiency is rare, it can lead to hair thinning when it occurs. That’s why we include it in our Hair Growth Complex and Ultimate Plan—to ensure your body has the nutrients it needs for optimal hair health from the inside out.
3. Eat a Hair-Friendly Diet
Your diet plays a crucial role in your hair’s ability to grow and regenerate. Nutritional deficiencies in iron, zinc, or protein can impact hair health, so it’s important to include these in your meals. Some of the best foods for supporting hair growth include:
- Red meat
- Leafy greens (like spinach and kale)
- Legumes (beans and lentils)
- Eggs and nuts
If you’re unsure whether your diet is hitting the mark, a daily supplement can help fill the gaps. Healthy hair starts with a strong foundation.
4. Protect Your Hair from Environmental Damage
It’s not just internal factors that affect your hair—external stressors like UV rays, pollution, and heat can cause damage too.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, wearing a cap or hat can shield your scalp from direct sun exposure. Using a lightweight conditioner in the morning can also help protect your hair by locking in moisture and creating a barrier against environmental stressors.

Thinning hair doesn’t have to be a permanent problem. By acting early and combining the right treatment plan with simple lifestyle changes, you can protect your existing hair and promote regrowth.
