Here's a sobering fact: About 60 million of us will experience thinning hair during our lives. That's just under half. So we've got a 50/50 shot at looking like we tour with the Blue Man Group.

Some guys are fine with it, go right for the razor and shave clean. Me? I'd look like a giant thumb. So I have to fight it.

I don't believe any of the "hair re-growth formulas" on the market can save you once your hairline starts retreating. Like the stuff that comes across my desk every day: Laser combs. Miracle vitamins from the Amazon rain forest. Spraying moose urine on your head and wrapping it in plastic wrap. (OK, I made that last one up, but it's just as ridiculous as all the others.) They're all crap.

But you can take care of what you have, while you have it. And keeping your hair healthy should make it appear thicker.

I've tried a few products designed to do that (purely for product review purposes) and I like MORE by NYC salon owner and hair expert, Frederic Fekkai.

A four-step system - Scalp-Purifying Shampoo, Root Nourishing Conditioner, All-Day Density Styling Whip (which I didn't use... I'm not exactly a mousse guy) and Nighttime Follicle Boosting Treatment - MORE let's you know straight out that it's not going to re-grow your hair. Instead, it's designed to maximize follicle health, feed niacin into the scalp, and protect against the buildup of harmful pollutants and chemicals.

Healthier, thicker hair doesn't come cheap. The complete system runs about $100. But if you're looking to save money you could always resort to a comb-over.
