Hair loss for women is hard.  My mom has started to get hair loss and it is very hard for her.  At least it was hard on her.  She takes so many drugs for her back that I’m not sure she even cares anymore about anything else.  It used to be hard on her.  She used to keep it really long even though it was stringy because then she could put it back in a bun or a clip and hide the balding areas.  It got to the point that she couldn’t hide it anymore and she cut all her hair off. 

It was better in a lot of ways, but you could really tell at that point that she had some severe hair loss.  But at least it wasn’t long stringy hair loss; it was short hair loss.  I know at one point she tried to do lots of different things help her hair loss but now that she has used some strong drugs to help with the pain of her back; she really doesn’t care much about anything except when she can have her next dose of drugs.  It’s really sad, but I know that all the drug use over the years has contributed to her hair loss.
