There's nothing in this book that I didn't already know from visiting various dermatology and trichology websites. There isn't anything new or revolutionary. There are no secrets revealed. If you'd rather not look online, this might be a good fit. For this reason, it loses a star. The second issue would be the topics discussed. The information on traction alopecia is very limited which surprised me because this is quite prevalent in women. I've seen more of that than other forms of thinning and balding that take up the bulk of this book. It loses a star for this. Another issue would be the treatments. Nothing revolutionary. Any doctor or website could give you the same information. Unfortunately,there aren't really inexpensive, permanent solutions available. . If you're expecting to get this information, this just doesn't have it.

I 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!
