INTRODUCTION
Hair.
The Final Frontier. People style it, color it, talk
about it, change its shape, make it bigger, make it smaller,
and make it a 7 billion-dollar a year industry! And lots
of people lose it.
Hair
is a part of how we look at ourselves, and how others sometimes
look at us. The things that make it grow and what makes
it fall out are interesting and seemingly mysterious. This
site is set up to look at the different aspects of hair,
from how it grows, to how it falls out, to what treatments
are available for those that don't want to part with it
(no pun intended). We will also examine the different causes
of hair loss, from male pattern baldness to drug-induced
hair loss, and provide readers with some hints on how to
keep their hair healthy. Along the way, we hope to pass
along some perspective and let people see hair for what
it is: some strands of protein on ones head and body, and
not a marker for wealth, intelligence, virility, or anything
else that's really important in life!

alopecia. Read on...)
