Breaking the Silence on Women's Hair Loss
By Candace Hoffmann
30 million women suffer from some sort of hair loss -- that's one in four women in the U.S. Yet, no one talks about it. This book does.

Description
Breaking the Silence on Women's Hair Loss confronts what the American Academy of Dermatology calls "the last taboo." Nearly 100 women responded to a questionnaire I posted on two hair loss Web sites. Their stories fill the book -- their frustration, loneliness, and their successes. Breaking the Silence helps women navigate the medical system to find help, and to avoid throwing good money after bad hair schemes. No one dies from hair loss, do they? That's the first question Breaking the Silence asks after a young woman related how she tried to commit suicide because of a severe form of alopecia areata. More than a cosmetic issue, hair loss can have a profound affect on women young and old. In order to find help, women need to begin talking about it.
