Is she losing weight? Does she have a healthy diet?
Why don't you ask doctor what they suggest to test for?

It can happen just from stress, not necessarily any medical issue.

My guess is
Thyroid
Hormone levels
Iron

Can also be skin infection on the scalp that's causing it

A few months post COVID it is very common for hair to thin (it comes back bh!). Did she have COVID any time in the past 6 months or so?

Happened to my daughter dr said covid. People like to blame everything on that. I insisted she do blood work she was deficient in D and b12 both can result in hair loss. Gave her vitamins and hair stopped falling out

Full thyroid panel

Nutrient levels don't test well but I would just supplement magnesium, zinc, trace minerals, b vitamins and cod liver oil
