Alopecia Areata

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.

"Common Baldness", what does it mean?

Common baldness is a term that is given to male pattern baldness(the most common cause of hair loss in men), permanent pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia.

Men who have male pattern baldness have in most cases inherited it from a family member.  Male pattern baldness is when the hair line recedes and there is a loss of hair on the top of the head. Men who begin to lose their hair at a younger age, generally have a higher degree of hair loss than a man who is older. 

In women, female pattern baldness occurs.  For women experiencing female pattern baldness, they will see hair thinning over the entire scalp.

At a single time, only 90% of your hair is growing.

It is normal to lose on average about 100 hairs per day.

Before you can tell that you are experiencing hair loss you would have to lose at least 50% of your natural 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.

Volumize your locks

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

What kind of hair do you have?

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.

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.
