Hi
Good afternoon!
There could be several reasons for this - genetics, stress, alopecia, thyroid disorders or nutritional deficiencies ( iron, Vitamin B6, B12, E or D). It could also be due to smoking.
You can do a blood test to look for nutrient deficiencies or thyroid related issues. If that’s not the case, then you could talk to a dermatologist.
