Crowning glory: Women who lose hair struggle with identity | The Republic
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Shirley Berger holds a photo of herself taken at Venice Beach, Calif., in 1960. She’s about 20 in the picture and looks like Elizabeth Taylor: the same thick eyebrows and upturned nose. She’s on her stomach, holding a cigarette. A layer of her dark curly hair covers her head.
“My hair was so thick, you couldn’t see through it at all,” Berger said. “I had a ton of hair.”
At 58, 10 years after she hit menopause, her hair started to thin and fall out. She bought a wig, but she hated how it felt.
She goes to the hairdresser once a week now for help hiding the thin spots. At restaurants, she maneuvers herself out of the way when waiters come to the table so they can’t see the top of her head. And she sleeps on satin pillowcases to avoid snagging her hair.
“I’m not sure I understand why men can get away with aging,” said Berger, who is now 70.
