its possible its just her diet, or maybe she has dandruff, orr maybe she has a skin disease like psorasis.
i got psorasis when i was 5 and my hair started falling out..
of course u shud go to your doctor and get it checked out, the sooner something is done the better it is. relax:) im sure you'll find the problem

Baby dandruff -- luckily it does not show up on photos! My first son had a helmet of it but it did clear up: we used calendula oil. This is usually almond oil that has had calendula flowers steeped in it for a long time and is very suitable for children and babies with sensitive skin. His dandruff flaked off with bits of hair attached to it, which was very disturbing. I tried shampooing often, shampooing with special oil-based shampoo, gently loosening the dandruff when his head was moist and the dandruff soft -- no help. But once I tried massaging the calendula oil I used as a baby oil very gently into his scalp on three or four sessions. Within a few weeks the dandruff came loose and pretty much never came back.
I have cut down shampooing to once a week and this also seems to be helpful. It is enough for a four year old, and if there is mud or food to get out of the hair, I just use shampoo just on the hair not on the scalp. I use a gentle baby shampoo, currently J&J. I would not use head+shoulders as advised above as this would be too harsh on a little child.
If the calendula oil does not help, do speak to your paediatrician. Mine told me that it is a relatively common condition and he can prescribe something to help, but I wanted to try a more natural way before hitting the drugs.
Hope I've helped and good luck

First of all I would take her to a pediatrician and have her checked out.She is probably needing specific vitamins for her age group.Don't wait around.

well it would probably be better to use something like head and shoulders for a while...and get her to a dermatologist, there can be many different causes for this, including a problem with her thyroid.
