PreSchool-Grade 2-The day Jeremiah hears his father called Baldy is the day he realizes that the man has no hair. This sets him on a mission to find the lost locks. His search raises question after question: Does it hurt to lose hair? Was his father sad to lose it? Will Jeremiah lose his hair someday? And what does it matter how we look on the outside, compared to who we are on the inside? Jeremiah's journey from uncertainty to reassurance is told in a funny, touching way. Payne's wide-eyed protagonist complements the straightforward text, illustrating well the vivid imagination of a worried child. Some of the pictures are laugh-out-loud funny and will amuse young readers. This is a delightful book that uses baldness as a way to explore how everyone is unique. It is excellent both for reading aloud in a classroom setting or for sharing one-on-one.

This is a very well researched source of information on various types of hair-loss treatment. The author speaks from experience with successfully combating hair loss after extensive research on various products. I think that makes the book more credible than the self-promoting product sites out there. The author covers virtually all of the effective methods of hair loss treatment, including Propecia, herbal suppliments, topical solutions (monoxidil etc), hair transplants, and more. A must buy for all those interested in knowing pretty much all there is to know about hair loss treatment options, their effectiveness, pros and cons, etc.

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!

A graduate of USNY, James Dessi has spent many years researching the subject of male-pattern baldness. Through painstaking research, he brings you a wealth of knowledge concerning one of life's greatest mysteries.

A researcher, writer, and inventor, Mr. Dessi was for many years the vice-president of a leading medical educational institute. He currently heads his own institute and continues to be a consultant to physicians from around the world by helping them to prepare for their medical licensure examinations. He devotes much of his spare time researching various health issues in alternative medicine.

Sudden hair loss can strike at any age and is on the increase, especially among women. This practical and sympathetic guide to the subject contains everything you need to know if you suffer from alopecia areata or thinning hair.

If you are concerned about your hair loss, you are not alone. A recent study by Dr. Thomas Cash, Professor of Psychology at Old Dominion University, shows that balding men are very sensitive about their condition. Nearly 84 percent wish for more hair. More than two-thirds spend time looking in the mirror at their hair and wonder what others think of them. Almost 80 percent get teased by their peers about their baldness and, although they might laugh along with friends, inside they're not laughing. Instead, they feel self-conscious and helpless. Many men even feel that their hair is a symbol of their virility and youth, so their self-esteem drops a bit with each falling strand.

Unfortunately, society's perceptions about baldness have helped create these negative feelings. Another study by Dr. Cash used 18 pairs of balding and non-balding men's photographs to see how people would view them in terms of various social characteristics. The men were matched by age and race, and they approved the photographs as either representing or improving their actual appearance.

An equal number of men and women viewed these photographs in random order, with startling results. They consistently saw bald or balding men as less physically attractive, less assertive, less socially attractive, less likely to be successful in their personal and social lives, and less likeable. They also thought balding or bald men were five years older, on average, than their non-balding counterparts. Small wonder, then, that balding men worry about their hair loss.

These anxieties and perceptions concerning baldness have been with us throughout recorded history. Nearly 3,500 years ago, balding Egyptians often sought a cure that required a poultice of equal parts of the fats from the ibex, lion, crocodile, serpent, goose, and hippopotamus together with the burned prickles of a hedgehog immersed in oil, fingernail scrapings, and a mix of honey, alabaster, and red ochre. Obviously, the Egyptians were concerned enough about hair loss to take some significant risks in trying to solve it.

Today's solutions for baldness may appear more scientific and easier to accept, but they otherwise drive at the same basic need: to get back the hairline we used to enjoy seeing in the mirror. If you've lost some or most of your hair, you've probably at least begun the frustrating process of trying to deal with your loss. Perhaps you've struggled with combing and recombing your hair to cover thinning spots. You've tried special shampoos and conditioners which promise to "deep clean" your hair follicles and promote healthy growth. Or you've gone on special diets and taken nutritional supplements to give your hair back the nutrients it appears to be missing. You may even have repeatedly (and futilely) massaged your scalp or rubbed quantities of exotic lotions on your head to coax back what has disappeared with alarming swiftness. These and other treatments have become part of a multi-billion dollar business in hair restoration.
