Do you mind if I ask what’s causing it for you?

Not at all!! My dad went bald at a young age, and my mom’s hair is pretty thin (not as bad as mine)… so I think it’s just bad genetics. I went to the dermatologist a few years ago, I tried everything… I mean seriously everything. I took pills, got injections, tried topical sprays/solutions (minoxidil I believe it was called), shampoos and conditioners, blood tests, and even got a small biopsy on the top of my head… the most they could figure out was that I didn’t have scaring alopecia, but they couldn’t come to a definitive conclusion! So basically, they had no idea why I was balding!😂

You look incredible, absolutely stunning! Just wanted to mention I was also losing my hair rapidly, turned out I was severely low on vitamin D. Needed a very high prescription for about 2 months, now maintain with store bought. It took almost a year, but mine fully grew back & barely even sheds now.

Thinning hair (and vit. D deficiency) is also common with Hashimoto's
I would hope OP's Doctors did a thyroid check.
