Hi At her age it is important to pay attention to her diet. Make sure she has plenty of protein and fruits and vegetables. Use a mild shampoo meant for children. It should improve significantly as she gets older. However if you notice patchy hair loss or persistent hair loss it is important to rule out fungal infection. Please contact a dermatologist who can examine her and prescribe appropriate treatment.
