Hair Loss Remedies for Thinning Hair on aromatase inhibitors?

I always had thick hair, but when I started taking Anastrazole my hair began to come out by the handful when washed, brushed, combed or just running my fingers through it. I was switched to Exemestane after three months of taking Anastrazole and the loss came to a halt. The thinning stopped and some growth is returning.
I now have some stiffness in various joints (they keep changing as to which joint), but I will put up with that not to have such thinning hair.

I have been on Anastrozole and am now on Exemestane. I have not noticed any thinning of my hair.

I started with Anastrozole in May 2024 - I hated it! I couldn’t even walk. I was switched to Letrozole. My first month I had Letrozole by Accord, was much more lenient on joint pain, I didn’t notice hair loss. I now take Letrozole by Aurobindo which so far barely any joint pain. Once in a while a few weird tingles. I do walk every other day for about 25 minutes too.
