My daughter is 2.6 years old. She has weak hair and rough look hair growth. No medical history. What can be done for this? Does hair shave (tind) works? Suggestions needed from community. Pic attached.

She needs to have a clinical assessment, mainly her nutritional status.

She may be deficient of Iron, vitamin D or other important nutrients.

Improve her diet ( apples, green vegetables, red meat, fish, eggs).

If no improvement in 4 months after the dietary management, then needs to have necessary blood tests.
