Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐so -so

⭐This is a good book to start with. When your first starting out and don’t know where to go, or what to do, this book helps with alot of the answers to your questions.

⭐This is a simplistic, not very helpful book. I would not recommend it to someone who wants more real knowledge and guidance on hair loss.

⭐There is alot of good information here, but I found alot of flaws in the book. It contradicts itself in a few places on the topic of blood flow with regard to the laser treatments. Also the book claims to specify which products are superior, but it does not, it simply mentions the products. Other than that, its pretty accurate. Im glad I bought it. Its worth checking out.

⭐This Dummies selection offers a lot of information for those of us suffering from continued hair loss. There is a lot of information to digest and I would recommend this book if you don’t have a lot of answers for how to deal with hair loss. This book was a little long, and I found this other hair loss book for those of you short on time that deals with many of the same elements in this book called

⭐. What I found useful was the organic kitchen products for hair that they recommend. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

⭐Apart from the textbooks, written for professional, there have been many books on hair loss and replacement written for members of the public. I have read at least a dozen of these over the past 30 years and they are all quite informative and, for their time of publication, reasonably accurate and helpful.Hair Loss & Replacement is no exception in this but it is a considerable cut above the rest. Firstly it is very up-to-date and contains a vast amount of information all exceedingly well organized in 7 sections containing 18 chapter,I- Getting to Know your Hair,II- The Root of Hair Loss,III- Creative Techniques for Concealing Hair LossIV- Phamaceutical, Laser and Topical TherapiesV- Advanced Hair Loss Solutions (60 pages about hair transplantation)VI- The Part of Tens (10 myths about hair loss, pros and cons for wigs, hair treatments and transplants)VII- Appendices- this include a Glossary of scientific terms used in the book. In addition the reader is provided with the addresses of all the well known hair-loss websites and support organizations and many more. There is also an outstanding Index running to16 pages.Throughout the book important points to remember are clearly marked with an icon in the margin, as are tips and warnings. The reader is even alerted by another icon to technical paragraphs that he can safely skip without losing the thread of the chapter.Now a warning. Although this book is designed for those with little prior knowledge about hair, it is certainly not recommended for “dummies”. It is a very well written and technical book, authored by two of the acknowledged “gurus” of our field, Bill Rassman and Bob Bernstein, The previous scientific writings of these two men are already at the top of any reading list on hair replacement surgery. Far from being a text for the “everyman” the book would be an ideal primer for any doctor wanting to know more about hair loss and its replacement, before committing many months to a specialized training course in hair replacement surgery.Every aspect of hair growth, hair loss and hair replacement is covered concisely in this book in reasonably simple language and I could find few faults within the text. Perhaps even then, they were just minor differences of opinion between experts, rather than faults.There is no attempt to “talk down” to the lay reader and in fact the only concession to the layman is that each of the 18 chapters is fairly well self-contained and if he only wants to know about, diseases that cause hair loss, hair transplantation or hairpieces, then he can be well informed in a self-contained section.Summary. This is a really outstanding book for the beginner who has a considerable degree of education but no place for a true “dummy” to be browsing. Perhaps someone will do a 50-page comic-book version for these individuals who, judging by popular book sales and TV ratings, make up a considerable proportion of our population.Dr Richard C.Shiell, Melbourne, Australia

⭐As far as hair loss and treatments are concerned, this book was one of the most helpful and comprehensive guides I have read. It is NOT a sales pitch for hair transplants. It is an all-in-one source of knowledge for those either worried about their hair loss or for those who are thinking about a hair transplant. If you have little to no knowledge on the subject or are just starting to see what is available, this book is a GREAT starting point.It really dispels a lot of the myths about hair loss that are so commonly found on the internet. The book is organized well and is easy to read. Each chapter is pretty much self-contained, so if you don’t care about a particular topic (like Wigs for example), then you will not miss a beat if you decide to skip that chapter. I am very glad I received a copy of this book.I would also like to add that I visited Dr. Rassman’s and Dr. Pak’s office and I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. In addition to the guidebook they gave me, I was also given a great deal of useful information during my visit. They saved me time, money and a lot of heartache. I am very, very glad that I decided to visit their offices and that I read this book.
