3.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly geared toward Areata sufferers,
By "nothing3" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hair Loss Cure, Revised Edition: How to Treat Alopecia and Thinning Hair (Paperback)
This book is mainly geared toward alopecia areata (AA) sufferers, not genetic (androgenic) alopecia sufferers. It contains lots of stories of sufferers, including the author's. The stories are somewhat interesting at first, but get dull rather quickly. There is some information about treatments, however, but it is not as informative as the books by Kobren or as comprehensive as the one by Greenwood-Robinson (if you're a woman). But, if you suffer from AA, then it might be appropriate to read the author's. The author is English, and so some of her stories include the charm and wit characteristic of the British. She takes the situation somewhat lightheartedly and advises (implicitly) readers to do the same (after all, it is just hair). However, her "cure" which is basically minoxidil, will almost certainly not be a "cure" for those with genetic balding. It is well-known that AA sufferers sometimes regrow spontaneously. The author's case may be due to this and not to minoxodil. She does not mention this possibility (that I recall) in the text. Hence, I believe the title is a bit misleading.
