Product Description

Product Description
Stress plays a major role in hair loss and accounts for 76% of cases. The trend towards late pregnancies is also affecting the hair with an increase of hair loss in women who have had their first babies in their late 30s and early 40s. This guide to the subject contains everything you need to know if you suffer from alopecia areata, baldness or thinning hair. It includes: the latest drug treatments available including Propecia, the much-talked about new drug already prescribed in US and available in UK in Autumn 1998; complementary treatment such as nutrition, aromatherapy, relaxation, and meditation; and useful case histories and addresses.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very disapointing read, 30 Aug 2002
By A Customer
I've bought several books on this subject and I have to say that I am very disapointed in this book. It is badly written, waffly, has spelling and grammar mistakes everywhere and apart from detailing a lot of annecdotal stories from people who have contacted Hairline International, offers very little real information.

The relevent info can be communicated in about 10 pages but this book contains about 240 pages more of waffle.

A better book is "The Bald Truth" by Spencer David Kopren

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, informative with true life examples, 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
The book starts off with how Elizabeth Steel started with Alopecia. She goes on to describe the different types of hair loss there is and goes through different aspects of treatment, not only with drugs but also with vitamin supplements to. She gives true life stories of how people started to loose their hair and how they overcame and dealt with this problem. She ends with a positive note on how her hair actually grew back again. All in all a well written book of which some of the advice I have personally started to follow.
