Of course there are. Go to the pharmacy section in Boots (
not the "hair loss" section in the shampoo aisle, that's just unproven caffeine quackery), there are many medicated and hair-loss shampoos tucked away with all the actual medicines.
Once it's gone you're in a whole new world of difficulty, but if it's starting to thin, you can radically decelerate the process.
My old housemate in his late 30s was shedding like a cat in summer for years, then BAM! hairloss stopped after using the men's version of this one I think:

I've no idea if anything grew back, but it certainly stopped falling out.
People who say you can seriously slow down balding are usually the bald who have left it too late and are bitter
