1.  Women with a prior history of breast cancer

2.  Women over 35

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.

Early detection is the only way to prevent the devestating results of this horrible disease.  Donte's of New York, wants to be a resource to you and your loved ones during this month and remember those whose lives were cut short by this deadly disease. 

• One in eight women are effected by breast cancer
• Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women, surpassed only by lung cancer.  Fortunately, death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1990 with the largest decreases in women below the age of 50.  Earlier detection and screening are thought to be the the biggest reasons for the decline. 
• 5%-10% of all breast cancers are hereditary and so if it runs in the family, getting checked out regularly is a must.

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.

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.

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.

Fuller hair can be yours in these easy steps

Not everyone is blessed with full hair and as we age, for some, it may feel like we have less of it. 

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

Hair that shines=Healthy 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.
