Читать книгу Reversing Your Hair Loss - A Practical Scientific Guide - Robert J. Hall - Страница 4

This is a book about hair-loss; more specifically, your hair-loss.

It is a fact that we will all lose our hair at some stage, even if only through old age. Many ninety year-olds have little hair, but they also have little muscle, porous bones, brittle fingernails, thin skin, no teeth and sometimes (worst of all) no memory. So the loss of hair at that age is perhaps nothing to be surprised about.

The real problem is when it happens to us before we reach that age. Even if you are female and never likely to go fully bald, the simple fact is that, statistically, you will lose at least some of your hair and probably suffer from it thinning long before that. If we start to lose our hair whilst still in our prime, it worries us. It actually worries us a great deal.

Very few people have any clear idea as to why this premature thinning and loss occurs, but collectively we spend an extraordinary amount to try and reverse it. The hair restoration industry is worth more than ten billion US dollars per year, and hair replacement surgery is that country’s fifth most popular cosmetic surgical procedure. Yet, the alarming truth is that there is little to no regulation of the industry and most of the ‘cures’ simply do not work.

If you are one of those people (male or female) who are not ninety, but nonetheless concerned about losing your hair, or if you have noticed that your hair is just becoming physically thinner and weaker or just growing more slowly, then this book is for you.

So, what is inside? Well, the book is in three sections. The first deals with hair itself; what it is and how it grows. Some of the information may come as a surprise to you. With the facts, however, you can immediately start sorting truth from fiction with regard to hair products and services.

The second section deals with hair-loss. It cuts through the myths and falsehoods surrounding the whole process of losing one’s hair. Again, some parts may surprise you, whilst others may even shock you. Whatever your reaction, however, you will probably never think about your thinning hair and its eventual loss in quite the same way again.

The third part deals with your hair’s restoration. From what we read and what we are told, we are generally led to believe that hair-loss is a single, time-driven, linear process that is as inevitable as it is simple. The truth is, though, that it most certainly none of these. There are various factors involved even in the most straightforward cases of hair-loss, each of which can be mitigated. The fact is that hair-loss is a fairly complex biological process, but one that has finally become reasonably well-understood. So, at this point, you will start to find out what you can do to both stem and then actually reverse your hair-loss, both practically and scientifically.

Outlined in the various chapters are therapies and supplements that can replace the current drug treatments on offer. Other therapies are highlighted that, if added to your existing routine, could make significant improvements to your overall strategy. Lastly, some of the therapies suggested have success rates touching over ninety percent even though used entirely alone.

The very last chapter of the book highlights companies offering treatments that will be available in the very near future. These treatments promise complete regeneration of your hair, however long you may have been bald.
