Mom Captures Heartbreaking Moment of Daughter Losing Half a Head of Hair to Alopecia A British mother captured a photo of her 12-year-old daughter breaking down in tears after losing half a head of hair in less than a year to alopecia. Lola Robertson, from the town of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England, has lost almost all of her stunning long hair to the condition after huge clumps of her hair started falling out last summer. The girl’s hairline has completely vanished despite trying several steroid creams and lotions prescribed by her doctor. Though Lola has had the condition since the age of 5, Charlotte says her daughter’s alopecia has got much worse in the last year.
