[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a jerk but your kids hair is past her butt and falling out and you think she's a model? Dear lord. [/quote]

You are a jerk for saying yuck to something you haven't seen. And you know you made a jerky remark. So yeah.
I don't think she is a model I was being descriptive as to its condition. [/quote]
Yes, but you need let your DD have a life not weighed down by her dumb hair. 
Really - it's like having an animal on her head or something when it's that long -cut it, OP. 
Your vanity is ruining your  kid - does she really have to value her hair and her looks so much at age 9?

Take her to the doctor to have her thyroid tested - ASAP.

Does she use many creams, lotions or makeup/cosmetic  products? Those can be endocrine disrupters.[/quote]

You are obviously not comprehending what I'm saying... Do you have a kid? Do you dictate their hairstyle? Does anyone dictate yours?
She's a nine year old girl that prefers her hair long. It's her responsibility and her image. Not mine. I encourage her to go shorter every time the hairdresser trims it. 
DD gets to have the last say on her own hair. I don't think that's unreasonable, and in no way am I vain. I made one comment in reference to the fact that her hair was in good condition up to this point.

She's nine. She doesn't have creams, lotions or cosmetics. She uses soap, shampoo and conditioner. But she did have lice recently and the product it was treated with may have contributed to damage.

Nothing is "ruining my kid", nor is it like an animal on her head. Yes she values her hair, and identifies with it. Have you spoken to any children lately? They have very specific opinions about their image.
Her life is not weighed down by dumb hair. She's a active kid that has been able to compete at high level sports with her dumb hair, and it's never been a problem until now. Now that it's presenting a problem, I talked to her rationally and explained and she said she's fine with cutting it.

I did take her to the doctor yesterday. Her hematologist said he is not concerned with it. He said it's likely a transient issue and with resolve. I asked for blood tests to confirm that and we did that yesterday too.
