Most people's hair becomes thinner as they get older. Just as your skin changes, often leading to wrinkles, so your hair follicles become smaller, producing a slightly shorter, finer hair. If enough finer hairs are produced then more space between them develops, causing a thinner look. In this case you can have the same number of hairs as before, but because they are finer in texture, your hair will look thinner. An analogy is with a forest. In the summer, the trees are in full bloom and it is difficult to see through them. In the winter, the fallen leaves give an appearance of "thinner" trees and allow you to see through the forest more easily. The number of trees are the same, but the forest has a totally different look.
Of course, another way that your hair can look thinner is if you've lost excessive amounts of hair that do not grow back or take a long time to grow back...
