Did you know that hair loss in women is on the rise? It is true, hair loss in women is becoming as big a concern for women as it has been for men. More and more women are experiencing thinning hair as a result of stress, chemical and styling damage, genetics, pregnancy and hormonal imbalances. So, how do you know if you are a woman who is experiencing hair loss? One of the biggest indicators is seeing a lot more hair in your brush, on your floor or in the shower when you wash your hair. Another big indicator is a wider part or a receding hair line. Losing 100 strands a day is completely normal so use that as a good point of reference, but more than that, you might want to check with your dermatologist to make sure it is nothing else.

Hair Flexibility with Hair Extensions
Who would have thought that hair extensions could give you so much flexibility? Hard to believe for some I am sure. But in actuality hair extensions can allow you to go from a short haircut to a beautiful head of long flowing locks all in less than a few hours time.
Picking which extensions work best for you is the hard part. There are many ways that extensions can be attached. Some leave your hair healthy and allow your hair to grow without leaving any lasting damage, while other extensions can cause breakage, and even sometimes permanent hair loss.
At Donte's of New York we strive to provide our customers with extensions that will allow you to have a gorgeous head of hair while at the same time leave your hair damage free. The methods that we have been doing for over 14 years in Arizona have proven to allow this. Whether you just want to wear your extensions every now and then by selecting our clip in extensions by Hair Diamonds or prefer to have them in for 3-6 months, Donte's of New York can give you hair that will make you feel confident and gorgeous. Find out how today, give us a call for your FREE consultation: 480-483-8800 or check us out on the web at www.dontes.com.

Synthetic Hair Vs. Human Hair
When deciding what type of hair you would like to have in a wig or a hairsystem there are basically 2 commonly available choices-Human Hair or Synthetic Hair. How does one determine which would be better for them? Below are the pluses and minuses to both.
Human Hair
1. Easy to wash and wear-synthetic hair keeps it's shape so you really do not have to spend a great deal of time styling it.
2. Less expensive to purchase in a lot of cases. Because it is manufactured hair and not human hair the costs are a lot lower.
3. Shine. Synthetic hair, particularly lower grade wigs or hair pieces tend to have a high shine to them. This makes the hair not look as natural as it should.
4. Frizzing. If too much friction is applied to synthetic hair, it can frizz up and there is not a lot that can be done to recover it.
5. You will not be able to use high heat on a synthetic wig or hairsystem. In most cases it will melt the hair and ruin it completely. So no curls.

Human Hair
- It's human hair, which means it is going to look just as your own hair did.
- You can do everything you did with your own hair with a human hairpiece or wig-curling, coloring, etc...
- It looks natural. Sometimes dependent upon the quality of the synthetic hair, you can see a marked difference from the sheen of the hair. A lot of synthetic hair tends to have a shiny look.
- It breaks. The hair on a wig or hairsystem is processed so taking great care of it and keeping it moisturized is key. Not properly conditioning the hair or keeping it hydrated can cause the hair to become dry and brittle which can lead to breakage.

Keeping your hair young
As we age, so does our hair but following the steps listed below can help keep your hair looking fresh and young.
1. Keep ponytails loose & at a minimum:
Keeping hair in tight ponytails, braids or anything that puts stress on your hair, can lead to breakage. Worn too many days in a row it can also lead to hair loss that sometimes can be permanent. The best advice that we give our clients is to reduce the stress on your hair by alternating wearing your hair down and up. Try not to wear your hair in a tight pulled back style too many days in a row and keep braiding to a minimum. Wearing hair extensions that are attached with braids or are sewn in have been known to cause Track Alopecia, lose of hair in the specific area where extensions are attached in this manner. At Donte's of New York, our hair extensions are attached in a non-damaging way that will not contribute to hair loss and will actually allow damaged hair to grow out, leaving only healthy hair.
2. Shampoo less:
Unless your hair is oily or dirty, it is not always necessary to shampoo daily. Shampoo's actually can strip the hair, which can cause dull hair that breaks. If you feel you must shampoo daily, then try to shampoo only at the root and condition the ends. Choosing a shampoo that is moisturizing is always a good way to go as it will help keep hair shiny and healthy. We recommend Suddz FX Cashmere Shampoo as it works wonders at moisturizing hair and keeping it looking it's best.
3. Take care with your hair when it is wet:
When hair is wet it has a tendency to be elastic and can snap easily. Rubbing your hair with a towel is a no, no as is brushing it. We always advise our customers to brush their hair out thoroughly before washing their hair and use only their fingers to get out any knots once they come out of the shower. Once your hair is about 85% dry then you can start using a brush to style your hair.
4. Use hot tools sparingly:
Using hot tools such as curling irons, hair dryers or flat irons on a daily basis can cause hair to dry out. This will lead to dull, frizzy and damaged hair that easily breaks. When using hot tools, it is important that you always use a protective serum or spray, this will coat the hair with silicone and will help to keep hair from being damaged. Our favorite product is the Suddzz FX Zenyth serum. All you need to use is about a dime sized amount and it keeps hair looking shiny and beautiful even when you are using hot tools. Using hot tools less often is also recommended. Try air drying your hair or flat ironing every few days, and you should see a nice difference.

Taking care of your hair during the summer
The summer sun may feel nice but spending too much time outside may cause damage to your hair. The following are some steps you can take so that you can enjoy the wonderful summer weather.
1. Use a leave in conditioner that contains sunscreen. In the hot Arizona summer which lasts much longer than other parts of the country, we always recommend our clients use either IHI's 444 spray or the Qshi Leave in Conditioner. Both of these products contain sunscreen while at the same time give your hair the moisture it needs.
2. If you plan to have your hair colored in the summer, make sure to use products that are specially formulated to prevent fading. We love the whole Sudzz FX line of products. Their shampoos and Conditioners are made specifically to stop fading and they make your hair feel wonderful too.
3. Keep your hair and your body hydrated. Even if you don't have any products at home, water in a spray bottle sprayed frequently in your hair throughout the day, will keep your hair moisturized and will leave you with a healthy head of hair. Make sure to drink plenty of water too. Nourishing ourselves from the inside makes for a healthy head of hair on the outside.
Donte's of New York is the premier hair loss treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona. We provide services to both men and women who are experiencing hair damage, hair thinning and total hair loss. Whether your hair loss is genetic or medical we are here to help you.
