Why is my daughter losing so much hair?

Possible Causes of Hair Loss in Children

Several factors can contribute to hair loss in children. Common reasons include fungal or bacterial infections, telogen effluvium (hair loss due to stress), and traction alopecia. The most prevalent cause, however, is scalp ringworm, a treatable fungal infection. Fortunately, most hair loss issues in children can be addressed by medical professionals and often can be reversed.
