An 8-year-old girl comes with her mother for evaluation of hair loss. The girls denies pulling or twisting her hair, and her mother has not noted this behaviour at all. She does not put her daughter's hair in braids. Physical examination reveals a clearly demarcated, round patch of hair loss without visible scaling or inflammation. No hair shafts are visible. Based on this description, what is the most likely diagnosis?
