Synopsis:

Our hair is a reflection of our personality and style.

Dr. Weaver's Black Hair Loss Guide introduces you to Dr. Seymour Weaver’s “Expert Care to Save Your Hair” program, focusing particularly on conditions that are common among African Americans.

You'll learn: how thinning hair can be an early sign of permanent baldness, why a dermatologist is the best medical specialist to evaluate your hair loss, how scalp disorders and hair loss are diagnosed, how hair loss can be treated, and what to do if you get a bald spot and don't just cover it up.

As the author explains, his book will provide solace to the thousands of individuals who suffer from preventable baldness.

“The key purpose of the book is to provide a sorely-needed medical reference to the many silent sufferers and individuals who want to understand what causes hair loss, how to get medical help to diagnose and treat hair loss conditions and how to avoid being the victim of ignoring the problem,” says Dr. Weaver.
