Go to your doctor and ask them if there is a cause for it. Maybe it’s ur shampoo if you have changed brands or maybe if you are dyeing ur hair a bunch. But I used to have thick hair and now it’s quite thin due to my hypothyroidism so do go into the doctors and just tell them your concerns. Castor oil mixed with rosemary oil is great too!

Lack of keratin would not be in the question because your hair is smooth and shiny. Lack of biotin however with the lack of biotin it can cause hair loss if your nails are brittle and your skin is rashy then 100% biotin. Then get some biotin vitamins

See a doctor or dermatologist to rule out underlying conditions. In the meantime, avoid harsh shampoos and focus on gentle hair band care. Look for products with biotin or nutrients that support hair health. This is not medical advice, so prioritize a doctor's consultation.

Make an appointment with your GP surgery and maybe consider seeing a private dermatologist if you can afford it.

Have you considered trying some nutritional supplements.
Looked into using clove water a few times a week?
These have worked well for me.
