The goal of this book is to make you more aware of the options you have if youre suffering from hair loss, and to make you more comfortable pursuing those options. Whether you choose to take medication, buy a hairpiece, or go directly to hair transplantation, we want you to be an educated and confident consumer. We also want you to understand hair: what it is, why it reacts the way it does to the abuse most of us heap on it, and how best to preserve its appearance. This book is for you if youre concerned about future hair loss or already in the throes of it, or if you know someone who is. Youll learn more here than you ever wanted to know about diseases that cause hair loss, the medications and over the counter options that
promote hair growth, how hair transplants are performed, how to choose a good surgeon, and the way hairpieces are made, if you choose to read the whole book. On the other hand, if you just need quick info on what to expect after hair transplant, or which medications work best, a quick look in the appropriate chapter will give you that info.
