This book, exclusively devoted to Asian hair, is a complete and comprehensive text written by a group of authors sharing their experience in their specialized fields of hair restoration. Included are many practical tips as well as chapters on regional transplantation such as eyebrows, eyelashes, sideburns, beards, and mustaches, in addition to the usual scalp hair restoration. With its many illustrations, the book gives readers a complete knowledge of hair restoration surgery and provides a quick, easy-to-use reference on Asian hair and the differences in patients' demands. With an influx of new physicians in this challenging field of medicine, further education and training are imperative and must be available to provide a high standard of medical practice. This compilation meets that objective and ultimately makes the valuable contribution of restoring patients' self-confidence.

If your hair is falling out, refusing to grow, dry, damaged or lifeless, you're not to blame! You have not been given the real reasons for hair loss and damaged hair! Many years ago I lost over half my head of hair. My shower drain was clogged with an alarming amount of fallen hair and my brush looked like a little matted wig. I was panicked to put it mildly. For an extended period of time prior to that, my hair was lifeless, thin and wouldn't grow. I wondered what was wrong that I couldn't grow a thick, beautiful head of hair. I took it upon myself to find the answers. I refused to go the toxic chemical "cure" route. What makes this book unique is that I lived through the nightmares of hair loss, thin, unhealthy and damaged hair myself. I came through it shining, having gained the knowledge, experience and results I'm now passing on to you in The Modern Rapunzel, a book every woman who is losing her hair can relate to, written by a woman who's been there and back. Find what's true! You probably know that a healthy lifestyle will help with hair problems. But what you may not know is how to select out what is true and not true from the enormous amount of available information on how to resolve hair problems. Not knowing where to start can be confusing and discouraging to say the least! I know. I had to sift through it all and throw out what didn't work and implement what does. I can now save you years of searching. The real reasons for hair loss and their remedies will make complete sense to you. In this 246-page book (with no complex technical terminology) you will learn: time-tested techniques on how to stop your hair from falling out and grow it back naturally! the little-known ways of how to create the head of hair you want without resorting to drugs, surgery or chemically-based products. This book is for the chemically-sensitive and health-minded individuals! the powerful and simple overnight remedy for thin, damaged and lifeless hair! the actions to take to help your hair grow longer, faster and thicker!

Here is what some readers have to say: "Jeanne, you are my Hairy Godmother! You might not believe me, but in just three weeks the new growth is at least four times thicker! My new hair is not limp or lifeless either! It is wavy and lush!" ~~ KR "In the first 3-4 months I had a round of new hair growth which is now long enough where it blends into the rest of my hair. The hair next to my scalp is the thickest it's been in years. You are helping me make a dream come true." ~~ MS "THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! My intuition was confirmed that African-American hair could be grown long, could be healthy and there were reasons why it wasn't like it should be. I found such basic, simple but very, very true information in Jeanne's book that made sense about why hair is the way it is and how one can do something about it right now - with no delay - not waiting weeks and weeks and weeks. It was very magical. I had some trouble with thinning spots of hair and this has started to thicken and improve with the procedures. Voila - there are results." ~~ AS "Your book saved me 40 years of research into health and beauty, so a big thanks! In my practice, I work with patients to achieve the kind of truth and empowerment that is the core of what your book is about. Thank you again for your beautiful insights and generous spirit.
