About the Author

Spencer David Kobren is the country's most prominent and effective hair loss consumer/patient advocate, and the Founder and Director of The Bald Truth Foundation, the only organization dedicated to consumer advocacy, education and funding research regarding hair loss.

He is also host of "The Bald Truth," his nationally syndicated weekly radio program; a feature columnist on three of the most respected hair-loss Web sites, including regrowth.com; and has his own Web site: wwwthebaldtruth. org.

After years of researching hair loss and finally overcoming the early stages of his own male pattern baldness, which began a dozen years ago at age 22, he has dedicated himself to helping others prevent and treat hair loss.
