Hair Loss...what is normal?

One of the most frequently asked questions that we receive from our clients is, "how much hair loss is normal on a given day?"  The answer to that is, it is normal to lose up to 150 strands a day.  Aging, over coloring your hair and wearing tight ponytails can contribute to even more hair loss.  If you find you are losing more than this amount, the first thing we recommend is to visit your physician to rule out a thyroid condition, Vitamin D or iron deficiencies, hormone as well as many other autoimmune diseases that may contribute to your hair loss.  If the Doctor cannot diagnose anything, your hair loss could possibly be caused from a high degree of stress or it may just be your genetic make up.

 No matter what stage of hair loss you are in, we know it can be devestating. At Donte's of New York, we offer a wide range of non-surgical services that can help you get back a head of hair you will love.

Preventing 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.

Preventing heat damage to your hair

The use of hot tools over time on hair can cause major damage.  Using a hair dryer, curling iron or flat iron on a daily basis, can cause your hair's cuticle to really dry out and frizz.  Over time, the dryness will cause your hair to break.  Below are the steps that we at Donte's of New York recommend to our clients.

• After washing your hair, it is important that you pat dry your hair, do not rub. Rubbing will cause friction and breakage.
• After exiting the shower, it is important to apply a frizz eliminator such as Zenyth by Sudzz FX. This silicone based product will coat your hair to protect it from the heat, while at the same time leave behind a beautiful healthy shine to your hair. This is one of our best sellers at Donte's of New York, both Men and Women love it. 
• When using your hair dryer, try to dry your hair with the nozzle attachment. This will create a good distance between your hair and the dryer, minimizing too much heat from hitting your hair at once. 
• If you choose to flat iron your hair, only go over each section one time and try to use a setting that is 360 degrees or less for fine hair and 410 degrees or less for thicker hair. 

Following these steps will allow you to have a beautiful head of hair. If however, you find that your hair loss is beyond repair, Donte's of New York has solutions to help you get back the hair you once had with our natural hairpieces and hair extensions, only your stylist and you will know the difference.  Call today for a free consultation: 480-483-8800 or visit our website:  www.dontes.com to learn more.

Itchy scalp? You might have one of these.

Dandruff, Psoriasis and Dry Scalp effects a high percentage of the population, but how do you know which one is causing your scalp to itch &/or flake? 

Dandruff,  Psoriasis and Dry Scalp are sometimes misdiagnosed as each other as they all have similar characteristics. 

Psoriasis is not curable, and causes red patches of skin that are scaley with a silver like look.  If you are diagnosed with Psoriasis, it is important that you follow the steps that your medical professional advises to control it. 

Dandruff produces scales as well but they are yellow or white in color and are generally attached to the scalp and sometimes also to the hair shaft.  Dandruff results from having an over production of sebum and can be controlled by washing the hair with a dandruff shampoo.  A product that works well for our customers is a shampoo called Hair Support.  Hair Support works to cleanse the sebum out of the hair follicle which in turn allows the hair to grow freely from the follicle. 

Finally Dry Scalp is when the scalp produces white flakes, which are sometimes noticed flaking onto your shirt.  If you switch to a mild shampoo such as Qshi Moisturizing Shampoo, this can help to eleviate this condition. 

Most people who are experiencing hair loss, suffer from one or more of these conditions. At Donte's of New York, we offer many products that can help you with both your hair loss as well as to help keep your hair and scalp better hydrated.  If you are experiencing hair loss or if you are looking for a product that can help keep your hair looking it's best, give us a call today, 480-483-8800, or visit us on the web:  www.dontes.com, we are here to help.
