Depends on cause: Once hair has been over processed & damaged, no treatment will change the condition of the hair that has already grown. Topical steroids are sometimes used to treat certain conditions causing hair loss/thinning but they are not effective for all causes. Consult with a dermatologist to find out the cause of your hair thinning/loss and the appropriate treatment for the specific cause.
