Elizabeth Steel, author of “The Hair Loss Cure” (Harper Collins)
Elizabeth Steel founded Hairline International: The Alopecia Patients’ Society, after she suddenly lost 90%of her hair. Her book on her own experience of sudden, savage hair loss was such a success that it has been re-printed three times since it was first published.
Hair loss (alopecia) affects thousands of people – not only men but also women and children. It is not life threatening or even physically painful – but it ruins lives.
It causes depression, breaks up marriages and wrecks careers. Some patients turn to drink or drugs. Sadly, there are even suicides.
All due to baldness - which to
many people is just a joke |
