My 4 year old has blonde hair and in the last year I have noticed that the hair on her left side has seemed to stop growing. It appears to have a different texture and feel to it and i often notice in the morning after she sleeps that it is pushed forward, but it doesn’t seem to go back easily. On that side of her head she seems to have more broken ends and shorter pieces. Is this a concern? In the last year and half we have moved and she had a brother born with a Congenital heart defect with a lot of needs in the beginning of his life, could it be stress?
Thanks
I would not look at stress as the cause of your daughter’s hair loss/abnormal hair growth. See a good doctor, possibly a pediatric dermatologist if you are in a big city where such a specialty may be found.
i don’t think a four year old can be so stressed that her hair will stop growing… though, this can be psychological, their is an effect on the first two kids where the eldest no longer gets the attention she was use to getting and in this case, seeing that the attention is “needed” by the second child, well, she could be just trying to handle things in a way that she can and her little body is handling it that way as well…
