Question
Dear Spencer,
I am a 20 year old male and have a family history of hairloss. My father is bald,
but both my grandfathers had their hair and I have no bald relatives. Can baldness skip a
generation, because my brother began losing his hair at around 21-22?
I heard that your hairline comes from the mother, also is it true that caucasians
suffer from baldness more than others? I am of mexican-american decent? Please tell me my
chances? My mother has great hair history and my father's family has no one who is bald
except him?
Thanks,
Brian
Answer
Don't worry about it man., If you start to lose
your hair then that's the
time to take action
Right now just enjoy it!!

Question
Spencer: I am 40 years old and have noticed
that my hairline is receding and have frontal thining. I'm not sure of what type of
treatment I should seek. I have considered propecia, but I'm concern about the side
affects and not sure if it would help with the receding or the thining on the front top of
my head.
Can you provide me with more information if propecia would help? Or perhaps tell me
where a good resource is to research it myself.
I also have obtained information about Kevis. Is this product as good as the
advertisements say it is? Kevis is very expensive, but at this point I'm willing to try.
But hesitate because I am not sure if it is it as good as it says. I appreciate any help
in this matter.

Answer
Forget Kevis!!!!
Pick up a copy of "The Bald Truth". All the info you need is in the book.
Take the time to educate yourself before you get scammed.
Good luck,
Spencer
