Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awarenss Month! Here are some Breast Cancer facts:

The most commonly diagnosed breast cancer is called Ductal Carcinoma (starts in the ducts that move breast milk to the nipple) and the second most diagnosed is ...

Lobular Carcinoma (the part of the breast that produces milk).
Breast Cancer may be invasive-spread from the milk ducts or lobules to other breast tissue or non-invasive-not yet invaded other parts of the breast tissue.

There are several tests to identify breast cancer:

Mammograms-help screen and identify breast lumps
MRI's-Better identify breast lump and evaluate an abnormal change on a mammogram.
Ultrasound-Shows whether the lump is solid or fluid filled
Biopsy-Studies the pathology of the tissue
CT or Pet Scans-Used to identify if the cancer has spread.

How strong is your hair?

Hair is built to be strong but over time the layers begin to wear down from the environment, heat and styling.  So, how strong is your hair?  Take this test to find out.

Take a single strand of hair and tug on it.  If your hair is strong it should stretch about 30% of it's length and spring back.  If you find that your hair breaks, or does not bounce back, it's time to get your hair strengthened up. 

How does someone strengthen hair that is weak, damaged or brittle? There are many steps to do this and Donte's of New York, the Premier Hair Loss Treatment Center of Scottsdale, can help you achieve a stronger,  fuller head of hair.  Follow our steps and in no time you should see a head of hair you could be proud of.

1. Use the right products-Using the right products can make all the difference.  If you have dry, damaged or weak hair, using products from the Hair Support Line can make all the difference in the world. Hair Support even has a kit to get you started. A deep cleansing shampoo that loosens build-up on the scalp which in turn will create a healthy environment for the growth of dormant hair. The Hair Support Restructuring Conditioner is a light and natural conditioner for the scalp and hair. It helps to maintain moisture and  does not weigh down hair with build up. The final product, Hair Support Overnight Scalp Treatment.  This is a patented treatment that deep cleans hair follicles and the scalp which potentially leads to the growth of dormant hair.  Using these three products all together will lead to stronger hair follicles, a full head of hair and a happier you. 
2. Eat the right foods-Protein is the main food type that can help get your hair stronger.  So, add eggs, lean meats and beans to your diets and watch how strong your hair becomes.
3. Stay away from high heat-If you are going to use a hair dryer then do not use a flat iron and vice a versa. When you do use either of these heat products do not keep heat in one area for very long. Heat dries out hair so focusing heat on the hair will only produce bad results.

Donte's of New York offers solutions for people with fine hair, thinning hair or hair loss. We have all non damaging treatments to provide you with a full head of hair you have always dreamed of. Call us today for a free consultation-480-483-8800 or visit us on the web: www.Dontes.net.

"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.
