Hair loss 2yrold: Hair loss at this age could signal nutritional deficiency or fungal infection in the hair or rarely endocrinology problem. You should see your pediatrician for this. Since you never braided her hair or put rubber bands on these are the things that i would think of.

See a dermatologist: Trichotillomania-a self-limiting form of traction alopecia, more commonly occurs in children above 5 years of age but may occur in young child. Alopecia areata, common disorder, characterized by the sudden appearance of sharply defined round or oval patches of hair loss. Two fairly common conditions described above are on the top of my list.
