I think I'm losing my hair

As humans have evolved our hair has diminished to the point of being vestigial, yet it has assumed enormous psychological and social importance. For many, hair loss is synonymous with ageing, loss of attractiveness and desirability and has the potential to undermine self confidence and social interactions. Those affected are likely to seek out treatment, at any cost, both conventional and unconventional. The plethora of 'cures' for baldness and hair restoration clinics are testimony to the importance society places on a full head of hair and to the vulnerability of persons with hair loss.
