A member asked:

Is it normal for a child's hair to fall when pulling hair bands out or someone pulling their hair?

Hair falling : Of course if the hair band is tight or the hair is pulled by force, the hair can fall off. Try to avoid tight rubber hair bands & don't allow any one to pull her hair. Good luck.
