3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat helpful, July 29, 2000

This review is from: The Truth About Women's Hair Loss (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't even cover the basics, September 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Truth About Women's Hair Loss (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book - A Real Lifesaver!, February 24, 2000

This review is from: The Truth About Women's Hair Loss (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!
