Do you put bow or clips in her hair up there? They might be pulling out the hair. Also, if you are bathing her, what shampoo do you use? What kind of comb do you groom her with? Lots of reasons for lossing hair on top....it will grow back though!!

If her new hair is really light it might "look" thin or barely there until it gets longer.

Those bands on the bows can wreak havoc with the hair. Are you using those.

some of them have really thin fine hair. When it gets long enough to lay down, it won't look thin.

I started using a gentle shampoo for stronger hair, and my little girl's hair has thickened quite a lot in the last 6 months or so. It used to break off quite easily, but I used the shampoo on the top of her scalp the most (where it was the most thin). I would just suggest being patient, and maybe observing if she is rubbing her head on anything, or if and when her hair is breaking.

I thought my little boy was going bald when I first got pictures of him (before I picked him up for the first time), and when I took a good look, I just realized that his hair was growing in white underneath all that black puppy hair. The little black tips were so cute!!!

Happy hairstyles!
