Could be ring worm.....
What is ringworm?
Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus. The infection causes a rash that may have a ring-shape with a raised edge. It can be quite itchy and flaky. When the scalp is infected, there is often an area of baldness. Fungal infections of the feet are usually very itchy and cause cracking between the toes.
How is ringworm transmitted?
Ringworm spreads from person to person by touch. When someone with ringworm touches or scratches the rash, the fungus sticks to the fingers or gets under the fingernails. The fungus is then spread when that person touches someone else. Ringworm of the scalp can also spread if combs and hairbrushes are shared.
How is it treated?
Ringworm can be cured with medication. Some medications are taken by mouth. Others are ointments or creams that are spread on the infected area.
What can parents do?
Check your child for signs of ringworm if another child has it. Look for the typical circular rash on the child's head or skin.
Contact your physician if you think your child has ringworm.
If your child has ringworm, make sure his hands are washed after touching the infected skin. If your child has ringworm on the scalp, make sure that no one uses the child's comb, hairbrush, face cloths and towels.
If your child has ringworm, he should not return to child care or to school until after treatment has started.

Don't worry about it. Just make sure she as a hat on whenever she's outside. This will protect against sunburn and prevent her from getting cold. Most of our body heat is lost through the head, that's why it's important to keep it warm.

Go bother your Doctor or try going to WebMD if your sick of people on here.
Some TODDLERS & INFANTS lose patches of their hair from their head rubbing against hoodies, blankets, pillows, clotheing, bars. Also from Allergies and other things.
Call a Doctor or check a Medical site if you can't stand people's answers on here... I know people on here suck and can not answer things properly.
Whatever you do, do not take matters into your own hands with her Hair Treatments or she will be poisoned and posibly die.

Has the hair not grown in at those spots or did she loose it? If she lost it she may have alopecia. It's rare in children especially girls. You should still take her to the doctor, just to be sure.
