Have you tried bond builders? I don't know what your budget looks like, but olaplex and k-12 have repaired a lot of my breakage. And I know you said you've tried different shampoos, but did you ever go for a clarifying shampoo? They're great at reducing buildup if your hair is thin and fine. If you live in an area with hard water, this helps combat this as well.

Overall, if you're struggling with hair, I'd look at the following:

- Scalp type: Oily? Dry? Combination? Look at the ingredients list, do some research, see which type of scalp a product is better for. If you have any problems with itching go for a medicated shampoo.
- Strand thickness: Thin? Thick? Somewhere in between? If you need to, rip a single hair out and look at it in your palm. If it's hard to see with the naked eye, it's probably thin.
- Hair density: Not the same as strand thickness. It's how many strands you have on your head. Do you have dense hair? Sparse hair? More hair generally means you'll need more product.
- Texture: Yours looks mostly straight so this is sort of irrelevant, but it'll inform your routine. For this reason I'd be careful with the oils. You probably don't need them in high quantities. Make sure your products aren't too heavy, make sure you're washing more often, etc. Oil travels down the strand quicker if it's straight. I do see some slight waves though, so you may want to look into light mousse or a curl cream just to see how it goes.

Also if you're looking for growth, 99% of the supplements are scammy bullshit. If you struggle with thinning your testosterone levels *might* be too high. I'm on an anti-androgen now and I've noticed less thin spots. You can see an OB/GYN or an endocrinologist if you suspect this to be the case. I haven't tried minoxidil so I can't vouch for it but that seems to be the only thing that actually promotes growth.

Your hair honestly doesn't look that bad though? Mine has looked a lot worse.
