HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the correct cause of hair fall has to be found out in your daughter's case because she is female and in female case the hair fall more related with the hormone level, particularly progesterone, I would advise you to go for hormone profile test first if you find something remarkable then have opinion form best endocrinologist, treating the hair fall directly means you are treating the symptoms and not the cause, have nice day.

HI,
I can understand your concern for hair loss in your daughter.
The growth of hair is basically genetically determined so it depends on family pattern. It is also influenced by dietary factors along with stress and other reasons which influence hair growth.
Stem cell therapy is the latest of the procedure in the treatment of hair loss. It is though an effective therapy but long term results are still awaited. This is one of the latest therapy and is without any side effects. So you can continue the same.
You can additionally give vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Additionally increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.
Take care.
