Woah damn this timing is perfect!
My 2 year old daughter started pulling her hair out probably 3 months ago.
She used to have lovely hair down past her shoulders that we could tie in a pony tail.
Here's photos of just when she started pulling (or just before) and what she looks like now.

We've asked the doctor and looked online and most say its a habit she will grow out of but do you have any advice?
One thing we've wondered about (and a few friends have suggested), is just shave her head so she can't pull at all and break the habit?
She pulls mainly when sleepy but she'll do it when she's asleep (or eyes closed and in bed at least). Often pulls it then plays with it in her fingers and rubs it over her mouth.
If we push her hands away she gets quite upset and insistent that she must do it.
Hope you manage to figure out what can stop it for you!
