If the cause of your hair thinning is hormonal, perhaps those kind of treatments would help.
Such as birth control pills (my daughter is on them for irregular, very heavy periods), or spironolactone (an androgen blocker).
Not WEN or any other hair product will address it if it's hormonal. You would have to talk to your doctor.

It would best to ask your dr. what is best. Volume shampoos & thickening shampoos that really work have sulfates. Personally, I would alternate between sulfate & non sulfate shampoos. I would definitely stay away from any conditioning cleanser as it weighs the hair down and you don't need that. L'Oreal recently came out with non sulfate shampoos.

I'm sorry for the diagnoses you got. May I ask what PCOS is?
My hair's fine, but I can recommend products that may help. Nick Chavez makes products called Plump 'N Thick Shampoo and Conditioner, Advanced Plump 'N Thick Shampoo and Conditioner and Advanced Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner with Expansion Technology. I haven't used these, but perhaps they'll help you.There's a picture at the bottom of what they look like.
I'm sure other ladies will be in here with some good suggestions, too.
Hope you find something that works well for you.
My Product RecommendationsPCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome

Thanks you for explaining what PCOS is, hyacinth. I didn't know what it was.

This was my understanding of hair loss attributed to PCOS, as well - that it is hormonal. If that is truly the case, then I'm doubtful that anything applied topically will help with this issue(?)

There are anti-androgen topicals that can be used. The OP should discuss it with her gyn or endocrinologist.
