Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to get her haemoglobin, serum ferritin levels and thyroid function tests done as anemia and thyroid disorders are common causes of poor growth of hair as well as hair loss.
Meanwhile you can also use a hair serum for increasing her hair growth.
