With a new year coming up, have you thought about ways to improve your appearance beyond just working out to burn holiday calories? If you've been dealing with thinning hair over the last year, you're certainly not alone. While it can become distressing realizing the reality of losing hair, we're living in a time where hair restorations are very easy to do.

We all want to glance in the mirror and be confident with what we see. But when you start to notice your hair not as full as you would like, extensions are a great option for adding volume or length.

Styling is one thing, but protection is another. In fact, it can be difficult to take proper care of your hair. Perhaps you are using too many heat tools or harmful hair products, without worrying enough about their long-term effects. That's when some women find that they are dealing with hair loss.

Did you know that hair loss is caused by a myriad of factors besides genetics? It's true! Many people assume that hair loss is the result of unfortunate family history, but it turns out there are plenty of day-to-day activities and habits that can result in thinning hair and baldness. Your hair follicles react to the stresses and messes you put your body through, and sometimes that reaction can lead those follicles to shut down. Below, we've compiled the top five bad habits that have the potential to lead to hair loss.

Over 80 million Americans are experiencing hair loss. Whether it is a chronic condition or a stress-related change, it is important to realize that hair loss is quite common and the scalp should be monitored even before noticeable signs of thinning begin. As with most health-related concerns, early detection of hair loss is the best route to improving treatment effectiveness, preventing further problems, and stimulating optimal reversal conditions. Also, because your hair is an indicator of your overall health, early detection of hair loss may actually help detect underlying health issues.

Hair loss is usually a symptom of a larger issue within your body. Whether it is a result of stress or hormone imbalance, thinning hair is, without question, worrisome. One of the keys to successful treatment is understanding the underlying cause of your hair loss. One major player - believe it or not - is the health of your thyroid.
