This review is from: Hair Secrets: The Science Versus the Myth - How to Have Great Hair Forever (Paperback)

This book is so basic that I wonder why it even tries to explain uncommom alopecia.I reccomend it for a pre-teen who is becoming interested in thier own hygene, as all information seems to be directed to someone who has never before now cared to even wash thier hair.... There was no new information, and I found it quite boring, but, it might be benificial to a very young girl, Id say under 12, if she is competent at reading.
