Our hair ages just as we do

Did you know that hair ages just as the rest of your body and skin do?  It is true and just as we take steps to keep our body, mind and skin in it's best and youngest shape, there are things we can do to keep our hair looking youthful as well.  Below are some ways that Donte's of New York of Scottsdale, AZ recommends to help keep your hair looking it's best:  

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 causing 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. 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 has beautiful results.

       2.       Keep stress at bay-Stress raises adrenaline levels which then produce Androgens (the male                  hormone) 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 does not give your hair the beautiful, youthful look you are after, or if you have experienced hair loss , please know Donte's of New York can help.  We are the premier hair loss treatment center of Arizona, providing hair loss solutions for both men and women.  Wheather 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 Facts: True or False?

Hair is a complex thing, so many ideas of what we can and cannot do.  Donte's of New York wants to help debunk these myths by answering some common questions.

Yanking out gray hair will cause more hair to grown in it's place...

FALSE  Hair follicles are genetically determined and pulling a gray or any other color hair out will not cause more hairs to grown in it's place.  However, it is not recommended that you pull any hairs out as doing so repeatedly can damage the root and stop the hair follicle from functioning properly. 

Wearing your hair back tight every day can cause bald spots...

TRUE  Daily tension on the hair such as braids or tight ponytails, can cause tract alopecia, a form of hair loss that can be prevented by avoiding these stressful styles. Instead, opt for loose or low ponytails and headbands to keep your hair away from your face.

If you use the same shampoo daily, it will eventually stop working...

FALSE  Sometimes it does seem as if your shampoo is no longer working for you as well as it first did when you began using it. However it really does not. What does occur is that your hair is experiencing build up from the use of conditioners and styling products, this will leave your hair less voluminous than when you began to use that wonderful new shampoo.  We recommend you do rotate your shampoos and use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week, such as Suddz FX Nyrvana. 

Cold rinsing your locks will lead to shinier hair...

TRUE  When hair is rinsed under cold water, it causes the cuticle to open up leaving hair looking shinier and healthier.  Once the hair dries though, the shiny look will disappear unless you use a silicone based product when the hair is still wet, such as Suddz FX Zenith, then blowdry with a nozzle attachment and enjoy your beautiful locks all day long.

How to pick the right hair extensions for you

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 lower cost than most others. 

When hair is of a higher quality it will last longer. Donte's of New York is proud to provide the means for reusable hair extensions.  That means that you can reuse them several times giving you a big cost savings.
