<![CDATA[My Girl- 7Yrs- losing her hair SOS]]>She is seven and a half yrs old and started losing her hair.

It falls out when I comb her hair or wash.
Its looks like the hair come out from the scalp straight away.
There is no proof of breaking off. Its just comes out when I run my fingers through it.
My daughter eats well and she is not fussy .

My boy (P3) has his hair falling rapidly after a fall at an escalator. In less than a month, he dropped close to 60% of his hair. We saw a dermatologist and was told to wait for hair to finish dropping and start medication later. All in all, it took about 3 months for his hair to complete the dropping process and 2 months for it to grow back. Now, his hair are thicker and denser than before. It’s like a carpet on his head!!! Process was not fun but certainly glad that all is over for now.


Patience is needed. Hang in there, friends.

Maybe she cannot adjust to Pri 1? My sis started losing lots of hair when she was studying abroad during her Uni days until we had to buy her a wig to wear during lectures.


I think it was because of the stress she was undergoing and also she told us that she used to lie on the carpet in the student apartment, so probably carpet was dirty. She consulted doctor (couldn’t remember whether she had any jabs) and within a few months, her hair started to grow again.

I will check with my sis later and let you know.

hi plumcake, may i know for how long did your girl lose her hair? and roughly how many hair strands per day?

my girl is 7 and has been dropping hair for the past 2 wks. in the house can find strands of hair everywhere. estimate abt 100 or more per day. brought her to pediatrician and he said could be due to her having fever 3 months ago. there's nothing we can do and the hair will continue to drop for weeks. Although new hair will grow but it will be not so soon.

i intend to cut her hair from waist length to above shoulder although doc say it will not help. i'm really worried as her hair is really thinning. very \"xin tong\".

anyone there has similar experience to share some advise? thanks a lot. 😞

Should send your daughter for a thorough medical checkup. Perhaps you may want to add in vit supplements, there are some reputable brands of multivitamins for kids in the market.Try to massage your daughter's scalp to enhance the blood circulation and throughflow of the 'qi' within the scalp.

thanks cngohlinda

we did a blood test. and she is ok. doc actually moniter her weight as well. so far everything is okay. I mean alittle better than the earlier stage.
when you massage do you use any oil?
what I did was

did cut her hair to sho.length
change her diet (in the aftercare she always take spagetti, poridge etc.
now I stopped working so I add a potion of boild veg. every day during dec hols. loads of green veggies as well. )
change back to mild shampoe.

Did you bring her to see a doctor? How long has this been? My DD also had their hair fall off when they were younger, when I checked with the doctor, it was because they had a high fever not long before, probably they took some medication, and the hair start falling off after that. But it grew again.


I would advise you to see a doctor.
commonly when they took some antibiotics these may happen.

Yes I went and saw the GP first and took her yesterday.
He checked for bald patches. height weight etc… and said its a part of the growing up process. different children have different problems. etc. but he asked me to watch her if I am worried and also weather she develops other symptoms like losing weight, lose of appetite etc. Then I have to do a Blood tests to rule out the major illnesses.

he also asked me to add lots of fruit and veggies etc. etc. to her diet. as usual…

and he also asked me to change any mild shampoo for her…

Now she is coming to 3 years old and seems like the problem is gone


Maybe like what other people said, it is due to medicine? She fell since every month when she is 1yrs - 2yrs old. Now body is stronger and didn’t fall sick so often. Maybe that explains

But it is always prudence to go for a checkout?

Her hair will fall everytime when i combed her hair gently.She has straight , thin and slightly brownish hair.She looked sick having long hair. So i would cut her hair at shoulder length and tried not to wash her hair often.

I think it’s due to the pulling of hair and tying it for that few hours in school. Since she still has healthy looking hair, I was not too concerned.

I experimented with a few shampoo brands and finally settled for one when I noticed some improvement. I have also included soft boiled eggs in her diet that are thought to be good in promoting healthy hair.


P.S. Personally, I am not sure it’s ideal to use head and shoulder on a 7 yo.

Now sure if 7 yo to use head & shoulder shampoo is too \"strong\" for a child?
