My poor mother's hair started thinning at a very early age. I guess she's had "thin spots" where you can see her scalp since she was in her forties(she's 60). She's never complained about it, just when we're out in public sometimes and meet for the first time, she'll ask if she's covered all her "spots". I feel so badly for her.

I know she would never wear a wig, she's told me so several times. Even when she's had it with how difficult it is to fix her hair. Plus, I've never personally seen a wig with a short hairstyle which looked real. I've seen some decent long ones but she hasn't worn long hair since she was a teen.

I was just wondering if anyone has any female family members who suffer from this and if so, if they know of any extensions for short hair or something similar or know of any thickening agents which actually work. I bought her some Nioxin several years ago but it didn't help, unfortunately.

it means to pull the more pleasant threads forward in line, to get more attention on the more pleasant topics and bury the troublemaking threads on page 2...or 3...or 5...(I wish)
