Over counter hair growth products
Discussion
All snake oil i'd say.
In my experience (was a hairdresser for 20 years) all this stuff claims to help clear blocked follicles, or stimulate blood flow to the scalp to encourage hair growth.
With proper intervention, like a transplant you stand a chance, but if you don't use excessive product, and give your scalp a quick scrub every time you hop in the shower, you're already doing what you can.

Turkey is the place for a hair transplant. Or even a beard transplant as one infamous instagrammer has publicised. 
In the 70s crown toppers seemed popular but the short hair/skinhead look has killed them off as people accept baldness more.
I have a ‘friend’ who buys some over the counter stuff from the pharmacy for persons under 50 but he also takes Finasteride. He says it slows down hair loss but He sports very short hair so I can’t tell.

Take a good look around next time you're out and about. Probably half the men are properly bald/shaved, most of the the rest hirsute. The ones you'll really notice are the guys that try and deny it, grow their hair around a bald patch or just let the hair grow so they resemble a worn-out carpet.
If it's thinning, shave it - properly. Give yourself a Number 1 every few days.
If it's really bad, just do what everyone else does and accept it, get out the razor and wet shave it all off. Growing out a beard to compensate is optional, but i'm told a lot of the ladies like it as a look.
I lived in denial for a bit. Started using caffeine shampoo and all that stuff, then I saw a photo of myself with an island at the front of my head. Now I wet shave my head every 4-5 days, grow out the beard a bit and just get on with it. Take a look around, you'll be joining a big club.
