A diagnosis first: Hair loss in a child could be the result of a number of things like nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune disease, chronic disease, medication, etc. Please take your daughter to see her doctor first. The next series of steps will happen through this pathway.

Two most common : The two most common reason are scalp seborrhea and trichotillomania, or hair pulling. See your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
