Whether the loss is due to stress, hormonal imbalance, illness, chemotherapy, or medical side effects, hair loss can be prevented. Hair Savers for Women: A Complete Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss is the first and only book to address this important cosmetic health issue. It covers the very latest solutions and advances in treating female hair loss, from medicine to natural remedies, and introduces women to a whole new world of safe, clinically proven baldness remedies. For women whose hair loss persists, the book discusses surgical alternatives such as hair transplants and scalp reductions, as well as the pros and cons of hair weaves and wigs. Average Rating:

It addresses traditional treatments, natural treatments, and nutrition supplements that are proven helpful for each type of alopecia. Rating: - huge helpI thought this book was really great, easy to follow and I loved that in different sections they would actually outline treatments recommended by various hair specialists around the country. The only drawback is that the book is now 6 years old and should probably be updated. We're ready for a second edition! Rating: - Enormously HelpfulIf you're a woman who is in a panic after recently discovering hair loss (thinning or baldness), this is the book for you. It gives a good, basic overview of medical and alternative therapies and hair care, grooming, and cosmetic issues. Also, it suggests how to talk to your doctor about hair loss and what questions, tests, and physical examinations your doctor should respond with. This books helps with the fear and frustration of female hair loss. Highly recommended. |
