I love what they do for my wrinkles, but I always have an unfavorable reaction to them-redness, irritation and burning. A little irritation is not uncommon, especially during the first few weeks of use. Betas work every bit as well as AHA in terms of exfoliation and resurfacing of the skin. But BHA's do the same work at much lower concentrations, thus lowering the risk of irritation. I seem to be losing a lot of hair.
Female baldness is pretty rare.
However, as time goes on, you WILL LOSE a lot more hair than you did as a youngster. You'll notice a lot of elderly ladies have so little hair you can see right through to their scalp. A lot of hair is lost through too vigorous brushing, and tugging tangled hair. Use conditioner to get the knots out. Be careful with dyes and heat styling.
