Glad your dermatologist thinks her form is mild. You should ask him if in his experience does he think your daughter may outgrow it as she becomes older since she has a mild form or at least have it improve.
If your dermatologist does not have other people's names to give you that have children with the same condition then ask him to ask his staff to check with other dermatologists in your area to see if they have other families to give you names to.
I hope the support group is helpful. I find forums to be great sources of information and support.
I don't know of any special products to use on her hair except using gentle ones and not tieing her hair back. I don't really know more about LAS then what I wrote about. The support group may have some good ideas of what has worked well for them.
take care,

PS. I just checked and I think that support group I gave you isn't active. I just looked and there is a facebook group on both Short anagen and loose anagen that has over 200 members and looks active. I can't seem to paste the link but go to facebook and search
Short Anagen & Loose Anagen Syndromes (SAS & LAS) - Hair Disorders and you should find the group.
