5.0 out of 5 stars read this book before you do anything else about your hair!, August 7, 2003

This review is from: Hair Loss Answers by the Hairdoc (Paperback)

What a find this book was! Chattily written and very informative, with good graphics to clear up a lot of jargon, I was amazed by the amount of solid facts it squeezed in! I've been putting off doing something about my hair, appearance-wise, for years but its about time I acted so I was gathering information on the web about my options when I spotted this here at Amazon and thought "why not?" - it presented itself as an impartial overview and so I bought it & it turned out to be all that it claimed to be and more! I got ALL my questions answered, had a few things I thought I knew for sure proven false and felt better about what I was going to do in just ten pages! Well laid out and written in an accessible and clear manner, it covered everything I could have asked about, answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, directed me towards more resources and, most importantly, solutions! I think it may have saved me time and money and a little embarassment too!

This review is from: Hair Loss Answers by the Hairdoc (Paperback)

This book is well writen but mainly talks about hair transplants and drugs. It doesnt really cover natural approaches to hairloss, the author doesnt address the home remedies and vitamins you can take for hairloss. I found "Grow hair fast" by Riqutte Hoffstien a much better source of information and HIGHLY effective treatments. an awsome book that really works.

This review is from: Hair Loss Answers by the Hairdoc (Paperback)

I recommend this book to anyone with a concern about hair loss. It is an amusing and informative book which painlessly answers most of the questions I had about my male pattern baldness. As a result of reading about follicular unit grafting I ended up finding the right hair transplant doctor for me. My mother also had a recent problem with hair loss and it turned out she was having a reaction to one of the medications which were listed in the book as a cause of drug induced shedding. Our family doctor looked it up and changed her prescription. It seems there is something in this book for everyone with hair loss.
