Anyone had good results with hair growth products/methods? (mander.xyz)

I'm starting to notice my hair is thinning a bit. Nothing drastic. Just natural aging. No, nothing unusual came up when I got my blood tests, my doctor didn't find anything wrong with me.

I'm just asking to see if any of you had good luck with any products. I know grafting is an option, and I also know that there are hair clinics which are very expensive etc. but I'm after an "at home" method.

Is there a product you would recommend?

Just curious, any idea what would happen if I took minoxidil even though I still have all my hair? Nothing? Even more hair growth?

It wouldn't hurt anything AFAIK. It's just increasing blood flow to the follicles in your scalp (they go dormant and die due to a lack of blood flow). In fact, it's better to start using it BEFORE you notice hair loss because it can only help still-living follicles. Nothing can bring back dead ones without a graft.

I think I'm good. All men in my family have kept their hair well into their 60's.

The price we pay is inability to grow a decent beard before we're 30-40ish
