Welcome to the Baldness / Hair Loss section 

Hair loss in men happens mostly as a result of the combinations of age and the effect of male hormones. Male pattern baldness starts with thinning of the hair around the temples spreading to the crown. Hereditary factors plays an important part in hair loss. If your father went bald before the age of forty, there's a very good chance that you will too.

Regrowing Hair Naturally by Vera Peiffer What the aurthor says Losing your hair might not be a life-threatening matter, but it is certainly extremely distressing. An increasing number of younger men and women are suffering from hair loss these days, and conventional medicine has very little to offer that is non-toxic to the body. Adding chemicals to a body which is already struggling with toxicity often makes hair loss worse and obscures the cause of the hair loss even further. Regrowing Hair Naturally shows how natural remedies and therapies can help the body detoxify and rebalance itself so that it can grow healthy hair again. The book contains a great number of useful addresses and self-help advice which the reader can put into practice straight away.
