Hair loss drugs: What are the alternatives?
Losing your hair can be traumatic. It’s understandable when people turn to medications such as Finasteride, hoping to stop hair loss in its tracks. But is it worth the risk?

Some days, I try to own it and embrace my imperfections, but other days, it's hard not to let it affect how I feel about myself.
