    TLDR The book provides updated knowledge on hair disorders and new treatments for hair loss.
    The document is a book review of the second edition of "Disorders of Hair Growth: Diagnosis and Treatment," edited by Elise A. Olsen. The book covers substantial progress in the understanding of hair biology, genetics, diagnosis, and therapeutics over the past eight years. It includes advances in molecular biology, such as mechanisms controlling hair growth and differentiation, identification of stem cells within the hair follicle, and genetic determinants of red hair. Therapeutically, two new treatments for androgenetic alopecia have been approved: finasteride and 5 percent minoxidil lotion. The book is well-illustrated and includes a new classification system for cicatricial alopecias, although effective therapy for these conditions is still lacking. The reviewer, Alex J. Chamberlain, praises the book for its comprehensive coverage and considers it an essential reference for clinicians involved in the care of patients with hair disorders. The review also notes that the book is competitively priced and offers good value.
