Women's Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair

I often find it challenging not to be biased towards women in my blog entries; after all, there are thousands of women suffering from hair loss. And as I have discussed before, I imagine balding has much more of a psychological impact on women than it does on men, primarily because society almost expects men to go bald. As the Stunners viral videos show, (in its extreme) women with significant hair loss create more of a shock factor than do bald men. Then again, we don't have to believe everything that we see on YouTube.

With that being said, I recently came across the Women's Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, which isn't exactly a bricks and mortar institution; rather it's a website dedicated to helping women combat, prevent and psychologically deal with hair loss. Though the site is sponsored by Rogaine, whose product line includes a formula specially designed for a female hair, it still provides a wealth of useful information. In addition to scientific facts, the site also provides advice from psychologists, hair stylists, and dermatologists.
