I think it might help her to know there might be a possible reason behind these.

Thanks, I think I will, one of her biggest regrets is going from curly thick hair to straight thin hair, so I might start there.

Thanks much!

Just an FYI, both the change in hair and the weight can be side effects of bipolar medications, if she's medicated. My mom's made her's get curly and thicker, but the opposite happens, and it can be really tough to find a medication combo. that doesn't cause weight gain, and that weight can be darn near impossible to lose.
