Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical and psychological aspects of alopecia areata Alopecia areata is an unpredictable disorder that affects more than two and a half million men, women, and children in the United States and Canada. Causing patchy hair loss on the scalp and sometimes elsewhere on the body, this mysterious, noncontagious condition can be treated but it cannot yet be cured. Alopecia Areata: Understanding and Coping with Hair Loss is a sensitive yet straightforward guide to the diagnosis and treatment of this poorly understood disease. With great compassion, the authors explain how hair loss can profoundly affect a person's quality of life. They discuss what it means to be diagnosed with alopecia areata, and provide medically reliable information on the latest research, diagnosis, and treatment options. Thompson and Shapiro also offer practical strategies for living with alopecia areata, which can go in and out of remission without any apparent reason. They discuss the physical and psychological adjustments to wearing a hairpiece and give pointers on selecting, securing, and maintaining a wig, whether human hair or synthetic, custom or ready-made. Alopecia Areata includes a chapter devoted to the special needs of children with this condition and concludes with an epilogue that tells the story of a day in the life of a woman with alopecia areata, illustrating the various challenges she faces and the strategies she uses to cope with these challenges.

Apart from its visible façade, hair also has a functional role. It has an unique structure and complex molecular development.

Divided into five sections the Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease provides an insight into hair growth and loss, molecular and cellular biology of hair, dietary toxicity and pathological history, diseases and treatments of hair, as well as shampoos and conditioners. Unique features of each chapter in this volume include relevant and useful 'Key facts' which highlight interesting or important findings of the specific subjects and 'Summary points' that will give a clear overview of the subjects treated in each chapter. The Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease will be essential to a variety of users, such as trichologists, doctors and nurses and all those interested or working within the area of hair health. This includes nutritionists and dieticians, scientific beauticians, health workers and practitioners, college and university lecturers and undergraduate and graduate students.

Book excerpt: Have you ever had the nightmare where you're bald? Where you discover that there is not even one hair left on your head, it's smooth and shiny like a pretty, new car? The one where you look like a Martian, or some poor shlub on a sitcom who just lost their hair from a bad perm or a practical joke gone bad? Oh, wait. That's not a nightmare-that's real! You ARE bald (or going bald). Maybe you still have some hair left, in which case, you think you look like a newly-hatched buzzard chick (and where's that shell ). Regardless of the cause or degree of your hair loss, It's Only Hair is a humorous self-help book that covers it all. This book deals with the clinical aspects, such as causes and treatments of all types of hair loss including alopecia, chemotherapy-related hair loss, and male and female pattern baldness, but more importantly, the psychological impact it has on bald and balding individuals. Written by a true Alopecian, Christine Mager Wevik, It's Only Hair has a personal, insightful, and uplifting, if not brazenly honest approach to coping with The Shiny Head Syndrome: humor. Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. (Ella Wheeler Wilcox, 1883) Look-we all know how endorphins work....okay, maybe we don't. We just know that laughing feels good, and we forget that we have a choice in how we feel. Choose happiness-it's more fun!
