BOSSIP: And how can they protect themselves from hair loss in general?

AD: “In general, hair loss has a variety of causes, such as an unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, pregnancy, genetics, medication and stress. I like to call hair “strain” a self-inflicted hair loss—it’s when the hair gets compounded by damage from over-processed color, chemicals, using hot tools too often and at too-high temperatures, using the wrong hairbrush and cleansing the scalp too infrequently.”

BOSSIP: What are some of the new trends/products/services in the hair extensions space?

AD: The newest trend is Couture Hair Toppers, which address thinning-hair issues on the top of your head. They add length, volume and thickness simultaneously.
