Is hairfall normal amongst toddlers?

On average, it is normal to lose 40 to 100 strands of hair per day. However, if you notice that your child is developing isolated bald spots, there could be different causes such as: - Tinea capities (ringworm), a fungal infection which causes patchy bald spots with red, flaky scaling - Traction alopecia, physical damage caused by ponytails or braids that are tied too tightly - Trichotillomania, irregular patches of hair falling off from child’s compulsive twirling or pulling of hair - Alopecia areata, slowing of hair growth due to a condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles. Usually result in smooth, round, and totally bald areas - Other medical conditions Speak to your child’s doctor to identify the cause of the hair loss for effective treatment to be prescribed.

As mentioned by Hui Qun, it is normal for a toddler to lose 40-100 strands of hair daily. However, isolated bald spots can be both frustrating and potentially a health issue. If your child wears barrettes in her hair or has a ponytail or braid on daily, there is a possibility the hair is being pulled too tight to the point of hair loss in certain areas. If your toddler complains or is regularly touching an area, then the item is too tight and needs to be removed. Poor nutrition can also cause hair loss and thinning. Toddlers need adequate protein intake in order to restore hair growth. Meats, eggs and peanut butter are great sources of protein.
