Our favorite brushes

If you have been in the market for a new brush recently, the choices can be overwhelming. There are paddle brushes, round brushes, vent brushes and the list goes on and on. Donte's of New York hopes to help with your choice of brush by giving you a little more information on the different types of brushes available and their use. 

Type:  Boars hair bristle brush

Best used for:  All hair types and may be used on a daily basis.  The great thing about boar bristle brushes is that they do a great job of moving the natural oils around the hair, which leaves the hair shiny and healthy. These are the brushes we recommend for our hair extension customers as they allow you to brush your hair without pulling out the extensions.

Not good for:  Blow Drying your hair if the base is rubber. If the base is wood then these are a great option to use.

Type:  Vent brush

Best used for:  People with shorter hair lengths.  Great to use with or without a hair dryer as these brushes provide volume.

Not good for:  Long hair-particularly wavy or curly hair.  The bristles do not grip the hair well enough to smooth the cuticle. 

Type:  Round nylon bristle brush with a ceramic base

Best used for:  Volume as the round shape lifts hair at the roots and the ceramic base is safer for your hair then a metal one which can heat up and burn the hair. 

Not good for:  Short hair as it does not allow for a flattering look.

Type:  Round boars hair bristle brush with a wood base

Best used for:  Straightening thick, curly or wavy hair. 

Not good for:  People who are not comfortable using a round brush. The bristles are thick, which can cause hair to get tangled in the brush if not properly used.

In honor of breast cancer awareness month: What you need to know about breast cancer

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is devastating.   For Women with a normal risk of breast cancer, it is recommended that the following guidelines are followed: 

Ages 20-39: A breast exam with a doctor every 1-3 years and self examination is always encouraged.

Ages 40 & over:  Annual exam with doctor and screening mammography.

Ages 65-70:  Some people believe that mammography's are not necessary after the ages of 65-70 but several cancer societies do recommend that women of these age groups continue screens.

Self examination is crucial as many women or their spouses are first to find a lump and self exams allow the individual to monitor their body for skin changes, discharge from the nipple and areas of pain or tenderness. 

If you are diagnosed with breast cancer and chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan, it is important that you plan ahead for the hair loss that sometimes follows chemotheraphy treatments.  At Donte's of New York, we understand that you are already going through a lot with your diagnoses and hair loss makes the process that much more difficult. We always recommend that you seek a hair loss solution prior to starting your chemotherapy regimen.  This allows us to create a natural look that will make you feel your best during this difficult time. 

You are not alone, call Donte's of New York today for all of your hair loss needs. Whether you are experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons, just starting to thin or have completely lost your hair due to genetics, Donte's of New York has solutions to help make you look and feel your best.

Alopecia

Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that results in hair loss. It is rare, nearly 2% of the population is effected by it, but it is a disease that people should know about. 

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.
