First Sentence
When it comes to female hair loss, the primary issue is that women feel that they are all alone, that no one else is suffering from the condition when, in fact, it is a very common affliction among all women, with more than twenty million affected by various kinds of hair loss in the United States alone.

Somewhat helpful
29 July 2000
Format:Paperback
Although I liked this book, I already knew most of the information that it contained. I was somewhat disappointed that the book did not have many specific recommendations for hair loss products, i.e.: dosages, amounts, application procedures. The book also spent way too much time discussing hair transplants which are not an alternative for most women due to diffuse hair loss and unstable donor sites. The book gives far too few doctor recommendation and once again, the doctors recommended were mostly hair transplant specialist. If you are a beginner to female hair loss, you will probably find this book helpful as it does contain good basic information. I, myself, was disappointed.

Doesn't even cover the basics
24 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
This is an extremely superficial book on hair loss. You can find out more on the internet in about 15 minutes than you can by reading this book. Nearly half of the book is devoted to transplants, wigs, etc. rather than talking about WHY people lose hair and what can be done about it short of these drastic measures. So many women suffer from hair loss that is treatable and this book does not offer any real help or advice. Stick to the internet and the wealth of knowledge available on hair loss sites.

Excellent Book - A Real Lifesaver!
24 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This book has given me hope after months of heartache and frustration. My doctors have not helped me at all, it seems like all they know about is Rogaine and nothing else.
I now have the knowledge I need to seek out alternative and new treatments that have never been mentioned to me before.
Not only do I recommend that every woman reads this book, but every doctor treating women for hair loss should read it too, you may just learn something!
