Hello,Thanks for writing here.

Most common cause for hair loss in children is lice infestation.You need to clear that problem first.

Permithrin lotion is best option for treating lice.It is available in brand name as perlice.You need to apply whole lotion in a single application.Once the problem of lice is resolved hair fall will reduce on its own and no other treatment is required.Instead of multivitamin you can give her biotin contaning tablets.Do not apply harse shampoo or oils for her hair.A good diet contaning eggs,fruits and vegetables will also stop hair fall.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
