Hair loss
Hi please can someone tell me its normal for toddlers to loose 20-30 strands when washing their hair? Im so worried and really want to call to get advice from the doctor. My little one is 19 months old but I’ve noticed every time i wash her hair she loose a lot of hair. I wash it once or twice a week.

Hi there, Sorry to hear this, can imagine it’s got you worrying. It’s defo normal to lose some strands of hair daily, but it depends how consistent and how much they are losing. My little ones don’t lose any hair when washing etc really. However my friends little girl does. She has super fine tangly hair, and natural a few strands here and there come out, but she also has a super dry flaky scalp from her eczema which is likely not helping it. Have you checked your little one’s scalp for dryness? Rashes etc? I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, but perhaps see a Dr for peace of mind! X
