Dulcinea's Insight
- Many of the resources listed in previous sections of this guide, especially the official sites for medical associations, provide more information about hair loss than what we’ve highlighted. Explore the Web sites recommended to see what you can find.
- There are no respected medical journals dedicated specifically to hair loss. However, hair-loss studies do appear in several related publications, such as the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, but you’ll need to search “hair loss” or “alopecia” on the site to find them.
