Hi there fellow Bengaluruean....
I hear you and note all the multivitamins etc you are giving your daughter.
I trust that is prescription based.
Don't worry... Hair fall is a pretty normal phenomenon and from your description it does not appear as serious
However, being a young child, my preference and advice is always to consult directly with a Qualified Dermatologist.
There are many of us Bangalore based and welcome across.
I for one practice mostly ONLINE nowadays across many portals.
