Lots of luck! People have experienced various ends of the spectrum regarding this. My hair never thinned but I've always had super thick hair and my hair has changed over the years but I think it was due to environment/hormones more than anything (because at the time it changed, I definitely wasn't losing weight).

you may want to consider going to your dr and have bloodwork run to ensure what exactly is going on. Not that there isn't great advice out there...but what if it was more than just low vitamins are nutrients. It probably is realated to not enough fat/vitamins etc...but its always wise to have a doctor evaluate you to ensure no major issues.
