Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Today in America, there are 20 million women suffering from hair loss -- a devastating problem that most certainly and often unnecessarily affects a woman's self-image. 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.

Customer Reviews
Nothing new or revolutionary
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.

huge help
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!

Enormously Helpful
If 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.
