Can hair grow back after thinning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Although hair regrowth is doubful, hair thinning needs early intervention. The longer you wait the less effective results are. If the reason for thinning hair is genetics, it will not grow back on its own.To grow back a healthy, full head of hair, you'll need to take action, and that involves reviewing different hair loss options.
