What happens to our hair as we get older?

Did you know that hair ages just as the rest of your body and skin do? Just as you may do things such as using products on your skin or avoiding the sun, there are steps you can take to keep your hair looking young and vibrant. Below are some key steps to take:

1.       Limit the use of hot tools-As hair ages, Keratin (the protein that makes hair strong and healthy) begins to deplete.  When we use hot tools on a regular basis, it breaks down the keratin in our hair causes hair to be dry and thus causing breakage. Moisture is so important in keeping hair young and healthy and using heat is not going to help to do that. So, we advise keeping hair moisturized as best as you can. One product that we love is the Sudzz FX Moxee conditioner. It provides great moisture to your hair and only provides beautiful results.   

2.       Keep stress at bay-Stress raises adrenaline levels which then produce Androgens (the male hormone-ladies we have this too) that can cause hair loss. 

3.       Eat right-Eating a balanced diet is key to keeping your hair healthy.  A diet that is rich in protein, iron, zinc and antioxidant rich foods such as berries and green leafy vegetables will give your hair a nice youthful appearance.  

If following these steps do not help to get your hair back to it’s beautiful, youthful state, or if you have experienced hair loss , please give us a try.  We are the premier hair loss treatment center of Arizona, providing hair loss solutions for both men and women.  Weather you are just starting to experience hair loss, or have had total hair loss, please know you are not alone, we are here to help.  Please call today for your FREE consultation:  480-483-8800 or visit us on the web at:  www.dontes.com

Hair Replacement attachment options

Wearing a hair system may be a big step and choosing how you are going to attachment is one of the biggest choices one can make in your new hair journey.  The most common options are:

• Tape
• Clips 
• Bonding

Tape is the oldest way that a hair replacement system has been attached.  It allows the user a great deal of flexibility as it can be changed daily or you can get several days of wear out of it.  What is really great about this option is the fact that you can take your hair on and off as you need.

Clips are another great option that allows you the user to take your hair on and off as needed. In this case, you must have hair to attach the clips to and it is recommended that you remove this type of attached system every night to prevent breakage of your existing hair.

Bonding is the most popular attachment there is. Although a professional would be required to remove and adhere a bonded hair system to your scalp, bonding will last the longest with the least maintenance.  Most of our clients come in to see us for a bonding service every 3-6 weeks dependent on what works best for their personal needs.  

Donte's of New York is a leader in the men's and women's hair loss treatment industry. With over 50 years of experience in the business, we know how we can help give back your confidence with a  gorgeous head of hair. We serve both men and women valley wide in Arizona.  Please visit us on the web at:  www.Dontes.com or call us today for your FREE consultation: 480-483-8800.  

Men's & Women's Hair Replacement

When deciding on whether or not a hairsystem is for you, one of the biggest things one should take into account is the longevity of the actual system.  For some, hairsystems can last years and for others only months. 

One of the main reasons for such a disparity, has to do with how the hairsystem is worn.  Meaning, is it bonded on, taped on or clipped on?  Our customers that have the longest wear out of their systems typically wear them clipped or taped on.  The reason is that they are able to take the hair system on and off daily, this prevents the system from rubbing against your pillow at night and thus will give you less breakage and longer wear.  Those who are bonded on need to change them out more frequently, because they are worn all of the time and only taken off for monthly service visits.  

To know which hairsystem is right for you and which method will work best for you, call today for a FREE consultation to find out more, 480-483-8800 or visit us on the web: www.dontes.com  With over 50 years in the business, Donte's of New York can help you to decide what is the best option for you. We look forward to meeting you and helping you with all of your hair care needs.

Keeping frizzy hair at bay

Frizzy hair effects all of us at one time or another. Straight hair, curly hair or somewhere in between.  Here are some tips for getting rid of the frizz:

 If you have wavy hair: 

Use a good leave in conditioner, such as 444 spray by IHI. This will bring the moisture back into your hair and give you shine.  

Blot, do not rub your hair when it is wet. Rubbing wet hair causes friction, breakage and frizz. Gently blotting your wet hair to get out the moisture is always a good thing to prevent the frizz.

 If you use any hot tools, make sure to use a good serum before applying the heat. We love the Zenyth serum by Sudzz FX. It smells great and a little goes a long way to provide shine and no more frizzies. 

If you have straight hair:

Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair shiny and frizz free. We love the combo of the Sudzz FX Cashmere shampoo and the Aquafix conditioner.  

Get a Keratin Treatment. We love the one we use at Donte's of New York as it does not contain any chemicals, seals your hair with keratin and makes your hair look shiny and gorgeous.

 If you have deep curls or ringlets:

It is so important that you use products that give your curly, curls moisture. We love Qshi Creamy JL. This product is light, smells good and does not leave you with crunchy, or stiff hair.  

 Diffuse, do not dry. With curly hair it is so important that you use a diffuser rather than a hot hair dryer. A diffuser works better because it actually spreads the heat around rather than focusing on one area.  Keeping high heat in one area of your head can cause a ton of frizzy hair.  

Do no brush your curls away. Brushing curly hair on a regular basis is a no-no. The reason being is that the curls when brushed will break, causing frizziness.  Instead limit your brushing to before getting in the shower to wash your hair and use a pick or wide tooth comb otherwise.

Donte's of New York is the premier hair loss treatment center in Scottsdale, AZ. We offer hair loss solutions for both men and women that do not require surgery and will make you look and feel your best.  Call us today for your FREE consultation, 480-483-8800 or visit us on the web at: www.dontes.com

Not all Hair Extensions are created equally

Hair Extensions come in a variety of qualities.  Those of you who are familiar with them,  may have heard of Asian, Indian, or European quality.  Along with the ethnicity of the hair there are ways that it is processed which will determine a higher quality.

 Packaged hair generally is of a lesser quality, as it is mass produced in such a way that the cuticle is not always in it's original state. This will cause it to tangle, frizz and be very coarse and dry.  At Donte's of New York we purchase hair direct from the importers where it is processed so that the cuticle remains intact allowing for beautiful, shiny, non tangling, soft hair.  Best of all,  because we are cutting out the middle man, we are able to provide our hair extension services to you at a cost that is affordable to all.

When hair is of a higher quality and installed by a technician who is trained by Donte himself,  you will see long lasting results. Donte's of New York is also proud to provide you with services for reusable hair extensions.  That means that you can reuse them several times giving you a huge cost savings.

 Call Donte's of New York today for a FREE consultation so you too can have a head of hair everyone will envy. We may be contacted by phone at 480-483-8800 and on the web at www.dontes.com  We look forward to meeting you.

Hair Loss in women, more common than one might think

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.

 At Donte's of New York, we specialize in helping women and men with fine, thinning hair or total hair loss. We provide natural solutions without surgery to help you get back a head of hair that you can be proud of.  Call us today:  480-483-8800 to find out how we can help you and to schedule your FREE consultation.

Hair Types...which one is yours???

Most people think they have a certain hair texture but not everyone has the correct hair texture figured out.  More importantly using products for the wrong hair texture can prevent you from getting the desired look you want to achieve.  Here are the ways to know what hair texture you truly have:

You have fine hair if...your hair falls into a part when it is wet. Also if you look at each strand and it appears very thin, then you probably have fine hair.  Fine hair generally is very straight or for some can have a wave to it. For fine hair, we recommend you use our Hair Support line. These shampoos, conditioners and treatments will help make your hair stronger and encourages hair growth.  Another great product line is Sudzz FX. For a shampoo the Whipped Cream and Honey is very popular and will give you that extra volume you need and for a conditioner you can't go wrong with Enhance or Aquafix. 

You have medium or thick hair if...it takes you 20 minutes or more to blow dry your hair. Medium to thick hair is generally straight, wavy or curly. For Medium to Thick hair Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner will provide you with the moisture you need, or by Sudzz FX, try Nyrvana or Cashmere shampoos along with Moxee conditioner and your hair will be silky and manageable. 

You have coarse hair if...you can hear a sound when you roll a strand between your fingers.  Coarse hair generally feels rough and can be straight, curly or kinky curly.  At Donte's of New York we have many products that can help make your coarse hair, smooth and shiny.  Our 444 Final Protection spray will give your hair moisture and manageability.  Zenyth by Sudzz FX will also provide a smoother texture to your hair. 

At Donte's of New York, we can assist you with all of your hair needs, no matter what type of hair you have.  Donte's of New York is the premiere, Hair Loss Treatment Center in Arizona, providing hair extensions, hair replacement (including hairpieces, wigs and cranial prosthesis).  Visit us today for a free consultation, 7291 E.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Getting diagnosed with breast cancer is heart breaking and life changing.  Patients that undergo a certain type of chemotherapy, can experience hair loss which can be devastating.  If you are someone who is told that hair loss will be a side effect of your chemotherapy, we suggest that you handle this part of your treatment by trying to meet with a professional that can help you to select a wig that suits you and can mimic how you looked before the chemotherapy treatments.  It is best to visit a hair professional prior to your treatments as most people start to experience hair loss within the 1st -2nd rounds of chemotherapy. Having a wig to transition to that you look and feel like yourself in, will help to make your road to recovery so much easier. 

Donte's of New York has over 50 years of experience in the hair loss treatment field, offering non surgical solutions to both men and women to help you get back your hair to the way you want it to look...natural and beautiful.  Call us today for your FREE consultation or visit us on the web:  www.dontes.com to find out more.

Great hair could be as easy using the right conditioner.

Did you know that the secret to great hair could be as simple as conditioning it?  Yes, the hair conditioner that you use can make all the difference in maintaining your hair.. The question is, which one do you choose?  There are so many to choose from, there are daily conditioners such as Enhance or Cashmere by Sudzz FX (Donte's of New York), there are many heat protecting leave in conditioners such as Qshi Leave in conditioner (Donte's of New York) or 444 Final Protection Spray (Donte's of New York).  Then there are deep conditioners such as Sudzz FX Moxee (Donte's of New York) and finally there are the Keratin treatments which are provided to you by a licensed cosmetologist (Donte's of New York).  The truth is all conditioners smooth the cuticle, soften hair, add shine and restore moisture.  By following these steps, you too can have the smooth, shiny, healthy hair you always dreamed of.

1.  Use conditioner even when you skip shampoo-Use of a daily conditioner can add a layer of protection that will guard your hair against heavy product use, hot tools or anything else that may be effecting the health of your hair.
2.  Be wary of your hair's texture-A lot of people think that using a conditioner will only flatten their hair. The truth is, they are using the wrong conditioner.  The best way to decide which conditioner is right for you, is to be sure to pick the one that matches your texture.  For example at Donte's of New York, we recommend to all of our clients with finer hair either the Hair Support restructuring conditioner, the Sudzz FX Enhance or the Sudzz FX Aquafix.  These products condition your hair, provide shine and do not weigh down your hair.  For thicker or curly hair we recommend Sudzz FX Moxee as it provides the moisture and shine that thicker and curly hair needs.
3. Skip conditioning your roots-If you are looking for volume, if your scalp gets oily quickly, or you are wearing hair extensions by Donte's of New York, avoid using a moisturizer in your root area. Hair is conditioned at the roots on its own by the natural oils from your scalp.  When applying your daily conditoner, it is important that you start at the ends and run the remaining conditioner through the rest of your hair, avoiding the first 2 inches of your scalp.  Leave it on for a few minutes and rinse.
4. Leave in Conditioners-At Donte's of New York, we always stress the importance of using a leave in condtioner. In Arizona, we are faced with hot dry days and water that is very hard. Applying this extra layer of moisture, such as Qshi Leave in Conditioner or the 444 Final Protection spray will provide the moisture our desert hair needs.  
5. Keratin Treatment at Donte's of New York-Donte's of New York is proud to provide our Keratin Treatment service. This treatment is chemical and damage free. It will provide up to 4 months of smooth, shiny hair.
Call Donte's of New York today to find out more about how you too can have the healthy head of hair you always dreamed of naturally.

Adobe Dr, Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 and our phone number is 480-483-8800. 

Dealing with temporary hair loss

Permanent hair loss happens to most of us due to genetics,  however,  for some hair loss may be temporary.  Things like anxiety and stress, poor nutrition, overuse of hot tools or chemicals or taking certain medications can all cause breakage and hair loss.

Keeping on top of your nutrition is key. Taking supplements like multi vitamins with iron will help to keep your hair healthy. While having a healthy diet filled with fruits, vegetables and grains will also keep your hair looking its best. 

Exercise is also a big factor when taking care of your hair.  Keeping yourself fit helps to keep your hair looking great too because it reduces stress and anxiety. 

Making sure not to use hot tools on a daily basis is a great idea. Try using flat irons or your hair dryer sparingly, maybe 2-3 times per week at most. 

Finally for some, there may not be any choice when it comes to the medications we take due to different ailments.  Sadly medications are one of the leading reasons people experience temporary and in some cases permanent hair loss.  Talk to your doctor before going on any medications and do your research to find out if hair loss is a side effect.

Donte's of New York is a leader in helping people to get back a head of hair they can be proud of. Serving both Men and Women in Scottsdale, AZ, we provide non-surgical solutions such as Hair Replacement, Hair Extensions, Micropoint Solutions and Wigs.

Alopecia, types and how to help it.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease that results in hair loss and nearly 2% of the population is effected by it.  

There are 3 types of Alopecia:

Alopecia Areata-When hair falls out from the scalp and leaves visible patches of baldness.

Alopecia Totalis-When there is a total loss of hair on the scalp.

Alopecia Universalis-Hair loss of the entire body.

Alopecia and other autoimmune diseases are hard for medical professionals to figure out. It is unknown in most cases why the body's immune system begins to attacks itself. Alopecia is not contagious.  At this time, there is no cure for Alopecia. In all forms of Alopecia, the hair follicles remain alive and hair re-growth may occur.  Some of the available medical treatments are, corticosteroids, products that contain minoxidil such as Rogaine and topical immunotherapy. 

Donte's of New York is the premier hair loss treatment center in Arizona.  We specialize in helping people who suffer from Alopecia and it's hair loss effects.  Don't go through your hair loss alone.  Donte's of New York offers free consultations to determine what non surgical, all natural method will work best for you.  Please call us today to turn your hair loss into a full head of hair today, 480-483-8800

Melanoma risk factors when experiencing hair loss

Melanoma can effect anyone and for those of us experiencing hair loss our risks can be greater.  The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to get Melanoma.  The following are the risk factors you need to know:


Having a lot of moles
If you have a lot of moles, particularly large ones, keeping track of them with a Dermatologist is very important.

Being an over 50 white male
Men who are over 50 and are of Caucasian descent tend to have a higher risk of getting Melanoma then their non-white counterparts.  Paying particular attention to the back and to the scalp is key. At Donte's of New York,  we work closely with our client's scalps, and in doing so, we have been able to help identify many suspicious moles on our customers scalps. Although  they are not always happy to get this news, they are always grateful to have them removed before they turn into something much worse. 

Spending a lot of time in the sunlight
Although the sun's rays helps with our vitamin D intake, it is important to know that the sunlight is still carcinogenic to our skin.  The more you burn the higher your risk of developing melanoma.

Genetics
Melanomas usually run in families.  If you know that a great deal of your family members have been treated for Melanoma, it should be a priority for you to visit with a Dermatologist on a regular basis to make sure that your skin is being watched.

Donte's of New York is the premier hair loss treatment center in Scottsdale Arizona, serving both Men and Women who are experiencing thinning hair or total hair loss.

Why are the hair extensions at Donte's of New York different?  We have spent years, (over 50 to be exact) to find the right type of hair and the right type of extensions for our clients.

The application of your hair extensions is also very important.

At Donte's of New York our extensions are applied by our highly trained (by Donte himself) technicians in ways that will allow your hair to grow in a healthy way, leaving you with a beautiful head of hair.

How to properly use serum on your hair

Serum is a wonderful product to use for your hair, but if not used properly, it can end up causing more harm then good.  Serums are used to help protect hair from heat and to prevent frizz. When used properly they can help your hair to look shiny and to be healthy.  Everyone, no matter how thick/thin, long or short your hair is, should only use a dime size amount of serum prior to drying hair or using hot tools. Excessive use of a serum can actually cause the hair to dry out and knot, which then can lead to breakage and worst of all hair loss.

At Donte's of New York, our favorite serum is the Sudzz FX Zenyth. It is light weight, smells and feels great in your hair. Most important of all, it does exactly what a serum should do, protects your hair from heat.

Donte's of New York is a leader in the hair replacement/hair extension field.  With over fifty years of experience in the industry you can be sure you are getting the highest quality products and services.  Visit us on the web today: www.Dontes.com or call us today for your FREE consolation: 480-483-8800.

Shiny Hair=Healthy Hair

It's all about the shine!  Hair that shines is the ultimate sign of good hair health. 

So how do you know if your hair has the right amount of shine? Here's a test, using a mirror, look at your clean hair in natural light. You should notice light radiating from your hair.
Don't see it?  Here is what you need to do to get shiny, healthy hair:

Use care on your hair-Never apply friction to your hair. Rubbing wet hair vigorously will only cause breakage and frizz. Instead simply blot your hair dry. 

Do a deep cleanse-Use of styling products are great for styling but they do leave a residue over days of use.  Use of a clarifying shampoo such as Nyrvana by Sudzz FX can give you a deep clean without stripping your hair.

Use a product that creates shine-Zenyth by Sudzz FX will create a natural shine while protecting your hair from heat damage.

Donte's of New York is the premier Hair Loss Treatment Center for Men and Women in Arizona.

How to know when hair loss is normal or too much

When does hair loss change from an average normal amount of 150 hairs per today to significant hair loss?

First of all, let's talk about what is considered normal hair loss.  Your hair is on a natural growth cycle, which means that each strand of your hair grows for a few years and then will shed.  Once the strand has shed, a new follicle forms and so does a new strand.  As we age, your hair may not grow back as thick as it might have been in the past and that is why you may find your hair to be less full than it was.

So, what is not so normal with hair loss?  If you start to see patches where there is no longer any hair or your part may look a bit bigger than it was in the past, these are signs that you are losing more hair than what is considered to be "normal" hair loss.  If this is something  that you have started to notice with your own hair, then we have a few steps we think are important to take in order to figure out what might be causing your hair loss.

1.  It is always a good idea to first consult with your general doctor.  There are many medical reasons for hair loss, such as medications, autoimmune illness, vitamin deficiencies as well as genetics, to name a few.

2.  Stress can also be a factor, so think back, have you endured a lot of stress recently, even as far back as a few months?  Stress is not only mental either, stress from dieting may  also be causing your hair loss, so keep that in mind as well.

3. Give some thought about the way you are taking care of your hair.  If you brush your hair too vigorously or wear tight ponytails regularly, this too can be causing your hair to fall out.

If you are experiencing hair loss, Donte's of New York, is here to help. We specialize in men's and women's hair loss treatments to help you get back a head of hair that you will love.  Call us today for a FREE consultation or visit us on the web: www.Dontes.com today to find out more.  You are not alone, we are here to help, find out how today.

Getting a full head of hair

Most Men and Women's biggest complaint about their hair is the lack of fullness.  There are many reasons why hair may appear a bit flatter than we might like. Some common reasons are cooler temperatures, hormonal changes and age.

One way to tell if you truly do have hair that needs a bit more volume.  Turn your head upside down, using your fingers fluff your hair from the roots. If your hair falls flat when you flip your hair back up, then you are in need of some volume. 

Donte's of New York, wants to provide you with a head of hair that you could be proud of. One that has the volume you are looking for.  Below are a few of the ways that Donte's of New York can help you achieve the fullness you desire:

• Products can make a big difference when trying to create a fuller look. One of the key elements is shampooing your hair daily.  Clean hair will add more volume and using a gentle cleanser such as Qshi Moisturizing Shampoo or Sudzz FX Whipped Cream and Honey will definitely get the results you are looking for. Conditioning your hair correctly is also important. You want to make sure that you use a product that moisturizes without making your hair too soft.  Donte's of New York recommends using Qshi Bio Hydrate Conditioner or Sudzz FX Enhance. Finally to get the all over volume you need, using a mousse, like Qshi Foam A Cut, will get you the results you desire. Make sure to use a generous amount of mousse, flip your hair over and distribute the product evenly from roots to ends. 
• If products are not getting the desired results, Donte's of New York can help achieve the fullness of your dreams with one of our many hair additions. Donte's of New York has hair additions available for both Men and Women that will provide a natural fullness that will have everyone admiring your hair.  Whether it is Hair Replacement or Hair Extensions you are looking for, Donte's of New York has solutions for all of your hair needs.  Please call us today for a free consultation to learn more.Our phone number is:  480-483-8800 or visit us on the web: WWW.Dontes.com

Summer Hair

Now that summer is in full effect, we know you want to put on your favorite shorts or sundress and what goes best with great summer clothes?  Perfect summer hair of course.

Summer is the time of year that most of us enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.  Along with enjoying your outdoor time, you also get a lot more exposure to the sun. Although the sun is very beneficial, providing you with lots of vitamin D, it does not always fare as well with your hair.  The hot sun, can cause frizz, brassiness and even in the most extreme cases, breakage.  So, what are some things you can do to keep your tresses, looking their best this summer?

Below are some of our favorite summer products that will keep your hair healthy and gorgeous:

1. Suddz FX Zenyth-Use this product anytime you plan on drying your hair with a hair dryer or any hot tools, but also if you decide to leave the house with your hair wet for a day of fun in the sun. This product makes your hair shine, while getting rid of the frizz. The best part, you only need a little bit to make your hair look and feel great.

2. 444 spray-This is a terrific leave in conditioner that helps keep your hair moisturized, while at the same time takes away the frizzes.  An added bonus, sun protection is built in to this product.

The importance of conditioner

Conditioning your hair is one of the most important things you can do to help keep your hair healthy. 

We love the Suddz FX line of conditioners. They have several different conditioners that work well on all hair types.  Enhance is a very light conditioner and works great on fine hair.  Aquafix is great for most hair types as it is a medium bodied conditioner and finally Moxee is fantastic for thicker, curlier hair or just for a deep condition on any hair type.  

Using conditioner properly is key, make sure to leave it on your hair for at least two minutes to allow it to penetrate into your hair.  

Donte's of New York knows what you need to make your hair look great and for you to feel great about it. Visit us on the web at: www.Dontes.com or call us today for a FREE consultation: 480-483-8800.

Using the right products to protect your hair from heat

Fine or thin hair can be very fragile, adding heat can only weaken the hair, causing damage and the worst possible outcome, breakage.  I know that most of us have a hard time getting our hair to look its best with air drying and need to use a hairdryer, curling iron or a flat iron to get the look we want.  Using a protectant such as Sudzz FX, Zenyth is key when applying heat to your hair.  Always make sure to apply it prior to any heat application and be sure to apply only a small amount working your way from the bottom of the hair to the top of your head.  Using a protectant such as this will keep your hair looking smooth and healthy.

Using Hair Products on thin, fine hair

Hair products can be a great addition to making your hair looking it's best. However, knowing how much to use can be tricky.  At Donte's of New York, we always advise our clients to have the less is more approach.  For fine, thinning hair, weighing it down with heavy products, will do just that, weigh it down. This will create less life to your hair and make it difficult to style to your satisfaction.  For someone with fine or thinning hair we always recommend using about a dime sized amount of product, this will allow the product to be evenly distributed and give you the style you are looking for.

The proper way to towel dry hair extensions and hairsystems

Towel drying hair is alway a good idea, the less time your hair is under the heat of a blow dryer or other hot tool, the better. However, not everyone knows the proper way to towel dry their hair extensions or hair system.

The most important thing to keep in mind when towel drying your hair, is that your hair is fragile, so rubbing a towel over your hair roughly will cause breakage and your hair to frizz.  The key to properly towel drying your hair is to gently squeeze the excess water out with a towel. You may do this a few times dependent on how thick your hair is, but always be sure to avoid any rough movements that may cause the hair to become damaged.

Avoiding frizzy hair

You want your hair looking it's best but when humidity strikes, so does the frizzy hair.  Even if you live in a dry climate, humidity has a way of sneaking itself into your bathroom.  Sure a steamy shower feels great on your body, but if you don't let the air clear before drying your hair, then you have created a humid environment to dry your hair in.  So, what can you do to avoid the humidity from wrecking havoc on your perfectly styled hair?  Waiting for the air to clear is the answer. Give your bathroom at least 10 minutes to cool off and then you should be able to blow-dry and style your hair to a sleek gorgeous, not frizzy style.

Fighting frizzy hair

Who likes frizzy hair?  Most people would say smooth hair looks so much better.  Unruly hair effects all of us at one time or another, but what can we do to prevent it or get rid of it?  Below are the steps to follow to get rid of frizz:

• Always use a frizz fighter that is made for your hair type:  for fine or medium hair serums work well while creams  or oils are ideal for thick hair. We highly recommend for all hair types Sudzz Fx, Zenyth. This products works great as a serum or oil providing, shiny, beautiful results.   If your  hair is curly a leave in conditioner such as, 444 spray works wonders.  
• Use your anti-frizz product on damp hair:  It is best to use a small dime sized amount of your frizz fighter and be sure to distribute it evenly throughout your hair. Believe it or not, overuse of a serum could actually produce knots in your hair, so stick to the dime sized amount for best results.  
• Air-drying is great:  We always recommend that our clients brush their hair out really good prior to washing your hair. This prevents breakage, as when the hair is wet it is most elastic and has a tendency to snap and break.  If you have some tangling when you do come out of the shower only use your fingers or a wide tooth comb to remove the tangles.  The less you touch your hair when it is drying the less frizz you will see.
• Blow drying is fine too:  If you want to blow dry your hair, it is best to apply a serum, cream or oil and let the drying begin.  Using the nozzle attachment on your blower is always great as it prevents the high heat of the hair dryer to hit the hair as much. If you have wavy or curly  hair, using a diffuser is also great.  
• Hair should be dry throughout:  Wet or damp hair has a tendency to frizz when touched so make sure your hair is completely dry before going out.  

Follwing these tips should help you maintain a beautiful, frizz free head of hair that everyone will admire.

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss effects both men and women at some point in our lives.  Knowing what may cause your hair loss is key when you are trying to stop it.  There are many factors that may contribute to your hair loss. Below you will find the most common factors and how you can try to help improve your hair loss.

Emotional Stress-Every day we all fall prey to some type of emotional stress. When emotional stress builds up and leads to a constant state of anxiety or depression, our bodies pay for it.  One of the ways our bodies rebel is to cause hair loss.  How you deal with life is key in protecting yourself from this type of hair loss. Keeping emotional stress at bey by exercising, eating right and speaking to others about your stress are very important.

Physical Stress-When you undergo any type of surgery, it causes a shock to your system. This shock can lead to hair loss.  Unfortunately, if you have to go through a surgery, then you may end up with some hair loss. Generally, people who experience this type of hair loss, have short term loss and will start to see their hair growing back over time.

Using the wrong hair products-Many hair products contain high amounts of alcohol. Too much alcohol on your hair can cause dryness, which then leaves to breakage and could lead to hair loss.  Limiting your use of products that contain alcohol is what you need to do to stop this type of hair loss.

Medical conditions-Many, many prescription medications cause hair loss.  Doctors often do not mention this as a side effect.  Always thoroughly discuss the effects of any medications that your doctor is prescribing and try to seek alternatives if the side effects include hair loss.

Genetics-Sometimes hair loss is just in our DNA. This type of hair loss is usually inevitable and requires other options to keeping you looking your best.

Poor diet-Eating healthy is very important to not only keep your body as a whole healthy but to keep your skin and hair healthy too.  Eating a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals will make your skin glow and your hair shine.  It will also strengthen your hair and keep it looking very healthy.

If hair loss has effected you, please know you are not alone.  Donte's of New York is here to help.

Hair loss and how some celebrities have a gorgeous head of hair

Although it may appear to be so, not all celebrities are blessed with beautiful hair.  In fact a great deal of them have the hair struggles we all do. Thin hair, unruly hair, and even hair loss effect our famous stars. 

Many celebs wear clip in extensions (such as Hair Diamonds), wefted extensions (such as Snuggies), Individual extensions (non-damaging, no glue, no adhesives, no sewing), hairsystems (all human or synthetic hairpieces-top quality), Micropoint Links or Accents. All of these methods are proudly offered at Donte's of New York.  With over fifty years of experience in the men's and women's hair replacement and hair extension business, you can be assured to have the hair you have dreamed of.

 To get the most out of your extensions or hair replacement, you have to go to a skilled professional that knows the importance of the hair placement and haircut.  If the color, thickness and texture of the hair does not blend with your own, it can not only look fake but cheap too.   At Donte's of New York, we provide the highest quality of hair extensions and hair replacement. Visit our website at www.Dontes.com ,  call us at 480-483-8800 or come for a visit and a FREE consultation by appointment at 7291 E. Adobe Dr., Suite 101, Scottsdale, AZ 85255.

How to know which hair extensions are right for you

Hair Extensions come in a multitude of attachments.  The first thing you may want to think about is whether you want to always wear your extensions or if you want to take them in and out at your own discretion. 

With clip in extensions, you can have that flexibility.  Clip in extensions may be bought per weft or in a package that might contain several wefts of various sizes. We love the Hair Diamonds line as they have gorgeous hair and are produced in Italy, which means they are very high quality and will last a very long time.

 So let's say you don't want to bother with taking them in and out, well in that case you will want extensions that a professional puts in and can last 3-6 months.  If this sounds like more of what you are looking for, then your options are going to be wefted extensions or individual extensions.  These types of extensions will stay in and if applied properly as the skilled technicians at Donte's of New York know how to, your hair will be damage free too.  Braiding, sewing and gluing may cause damage to your hair so you want to be sure to look for alternate ways of having your extensions attached, such as we do at Donte's of New York. 

Finally there are the Micropoint Solutions, extensions that can be placed on the top of your head. These extensions are so small it would be very hard for anyone to detect them.  Made out of cyber hair (hair that is manufactured and is the closest thing to human hair) these attachments will add volume to your hair while looking 100% natural.  Sold only by licensed and trained professionals these product is amazing. 

If you are experiencing hair loss of any kind, whether it be that you are just noticing your hair starting to thin, or if you have lost most of your hair or even all of it, Donte's of New York can help you to achieve a gorgeous full of head that looks natural and allows your existing hair to remain, damage free. We specialize in all non-surgical hair replacement techniques for both men and women.

Picking the right products for your hair

Picking the right hair products, can be so overwhelming. You walk down the aisle of your favorite drug store, beauty supply or even at your salon, and there are so many choices to be made.

Whether you are looking for more volume or to keep those fly aways in check, the answer to everyone's product dilemma should be less is really more. If you are using too many products the end result may be less than desirable.  Sticking to the basics, shampoo, conditioner, styling product and hairspray are really all that you need.  If you use other products you may be wasting your money, your time and actually ending up with a look that you never wanted in the first place.

At Donte's of New York, we love the Sudzz FX line. This line of products gives you everything you need and provides a beautiful look without the build up.  Find out how you too can get your styling needs in check by calling Donte's of New York today at 480-483-8800 or visit us on the web at:  www.dontes.com

How to style fine hair

Fine hair can be tricky to work with when trying to add volume.  Oils, serums, styling creams and heavy leave in conditioners can cause all of your styling attempts to fall flat.  The best products to use are ones that help hold the style without adding any weight to your hair.  A product we love to recommend to our customers is Qshi Foam a Cut. It is a very lightweight mousse that adds tons of volume but leaves hair feeling soft and smooth.  The best time to apply your products is when you come right out of the shower and your hair is still very wet.

Adding curl to your fine hair can be tricky even with the right products.  Too high a heat on your hair can cause excessive damage such as breakage so try to keep the temperature 300 degrees or less.  When curling fine hair it is important that you curl your whole head to create the beautiful full head of hair you are looking for.  Using a small curling iron could provide just the right amount of curl without being too over powering.

If you don't want to spend a ton of time on your hair every day and are looking for a beautiful thick full head of hair that you can be proud of, then Donte's of New York has a solution for you. Whether it be our non damaging all human hair extensions, micro point links or accents or our many options in hair replacement for both men and women, Donte's of New York has the solutions you are looking for. Call us today for a FREE consultation to find out how easy it can be to have a gorgeous head of hair today:  480-483-8800 or visit us on the web at:  www.Dontes.com

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair

The answer may astound you, but here it is; Wash your hair as infrequently as possible. You may be reading this sentence again to make sure you read it correctly, but it is true. How can something you have been told your whole life: wash your hair every day, be so wrong.

So what does infrequently washing your hair really mean?  Well, lets start by explaining what shampoo does to your scalp.  It cleanses your scalp of dirt, but it also removes your hairs natural oils and doing that is not necessarily the best thing to do to your scalp or your hair. Removing the natural oils completely on a daily basis can cause your scalp to become dry and your hair to become not only dry but also brittle, which may lead to breakage and can cause permanent hair loss.

Now, I know some of you are reading this and thinking, there is just no way that you could go even a day without washing your hair.  Your hair is just too oily to skip a cleansing.  So what can you do?  Before you completely put down the idea of washing your hair less frequently, give it a try. Skip a day in between washings and see how it affects your hair. If you are not happy with the results, then the next best thing would be to use shampoo every other day and to either wash your hair with water alone or with a light conditioner on the days in between.

For those of you who find that skipping a day of shampooing your hair is doable, here are some steps to make your non- shampoo days a little easier. Dry shampoo can really help to absorb the greasy look an oily scalp sometimes produces. For women it could be a good day to try some new styles, perhaps wear your hair up in a fun new look.

In the end, the benefits of not shampooing daily definitely outweigh the harm that washing your hair can do.  Give it a try, it will make your hair look, feel and be so much healthier.

To keep your hair looking it's best you should always have a stylist that can offer you the best.  With over 50 years in the business, Donte's of New York is here to help you with all of your hair needs.  Visit us on the web at:  www.dontes.com or call today to learn how you too can have a head of hair that everyone admires:  480-483-8800.
