I'm hoping that maybe some of you can help me figure out what's going on. I'm 19 years old and I have noticed over the last 3 months that my hair all over and on the sides (it's a little more patchy) has thinned to the point that if I style it wrong or if my hair is wet you can see my scalp quite easily. Around January/February I was extremely stressed out with school and I was also dieting in an unhealthy manner because I lost 15 lbs in about 3-4 weeks. I probably had only around 1300 calories a day. A few months later in the beginning of April , I noticed my already fine hair begin to thin and a bit more hair in the shower drain. It also began to itch like crazy. I have absolutely no receding hairline.
I did start using new hair products last November if that could have an influence. My father is bald and family on his side has some people who are bald, but my mom's side has not a single bald head.

Has your hair thinned on the back of your head as well? If so, it might be Telogen Effluvium.

I looked at your pics in your other thread it looks like you have diffuse thinning. If your sides/back are going as well then it might be Telogen Effluvium. I would go to someone who specializes in hair and get a proper diagnosis.
