you are probably suffering from telogen effluvium . However you have to detail whether you have any menstrual abnormality as such diffuse thinning at you age may be due to underlying hormomal imbalance including thyroid deficiency and polycystic ovarian disease.you may visist a dermatologist to get a Trichoscan which can easily differentiate between the two. In the meantime you may start minoxidil lotion 2 % locally twice daily
