Description
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
