Brief Answer:
Minoxidil and hair supplements.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I would recommend you to apply minoxidil lotion on the scalp and take hair supplement tablets containing biotin.

This needs to be continued for at least 3-4 months to see significant results in hair thinning.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
