Hair loss and your health

Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons, but one that is very common is a lack of proper vitamins and minerals.  A low vitamin D level and a low level of iron can be linked to thinning hair.  If you are experiencing thinning hair and don't know why, we recommend making an appointment to see your general physician who can rule out the possibility of hair loss from a vitamin deficiency.

When should you use heat to style your hair?

So you've shampooed and conditioned your hair and it is now squeaky clean, but when is the right time to begin using heat to style it? 

Did you know that blow drying and brushing dripping wet hair is not to your hair's best advantage?  It's true, soaking wet hair is a lot harder to dry and because it is wet it is more elastic, meaning it stretches more, which means that brushing or combing through wet hair can cause breakage. 

 So when does it make sense to apply the heat?  Let your hair air dry a bit and when it is about 80% dry is the best time to really start styling it.

Melanoma of the scalp

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.
