Temporary Hair Loss

Permanent hair loss happens to most of us due to genetics but for some hair loss may be temporary.  Things like anxiety and stress, poor nutrition, overuse of hot tools or chemicals on your hair or taking certain medications can all cause breakage and hair loss. 


Keeping on top of your nutrition is key. Taking supplements like multi vitamins with iron will help to keep your hair healthy. While having a healthy diet filled with fruits, vegetables and grains will also keep your locks looking their best. 

Exercise is also a big factor when taking care of your hair.  Keeping yourself fit helps to keep your hair looking great too because it reduces stress and anxiety. 

Making sure not to use hot tools on a daily basis is a great idea. Try using flat irons or your hair dryer sparingly, maybe 2-3 times per week at most. 

Finally for some, there may not be any choice when it comes to the medications we take due to different ailments, but doing everything else you can to maintain a healthy body should help reduce your hair loss.

Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania, yes it is a mouthful, but for those 2.5 million Americans of all ages that live with it, it is a difficult struggle on a daily basis.  Not only is Trichotillomania a bad habit, it is a neurological disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair. As time progresses, and hair is pulled out of the same area by the root, it can leave permanent hair loss.  Although it may affect men it is predominant in women.  We see people who have this and it is heart breaking because it is so for the afflicted individual to control. 

Fortunately we are here to help. If you are suffering from hair loss due to Trichotillomania, genetic or medically, we have natural solutions that can make you feel great about your hair again.  Call today for your FREE consultation to learn how: 480-483-8800 and please visit us on the web: www.dontes.com.

Hair Extensions-How long should they last?

Hair Extensions can be costly and we all want to get the most bang for our buck, don't we?  So, how long should hair extensions last?  When applied properly, hair extensions can last up to 6 months. Anything longer than that can cause tension on the hair and that can cause breakage.  Hair extensions should not last for less than 2 months when installed using the right methods.  Always selecting the right type of extension method will insure the longevity of your hair extensions. Look for methods that do not require hot glue, braiding or sewing as this could cause temporary to permanent hair loss. 

Donte's of New York has been in the hair replacement/hair extension business for almost 50 years, offering hair loss and hair extension solutions for men and women with fine, thinning hair or hair loss.  Visit us on the web to find out more:  www.dontes.com or call today for your FREE consultation: 480-483-8800.

When hair is lost in patches it is called Alopecia Areata, which if left untreated can result in Alopecia Totalis- hair loss of both the head and body.  Complete hair loss of the entire body is called Alopecia Universalis.  Alopecia will cause hair loss, skin lesions, scarinng and male and female pattern hair loss.  Alopecia may be caused from a variety of ailments including but not limited to:  Heredity, Hormone changes, Thyroid conditions, and Diabetes to name a few.

Getting rid of the frizz

Frizzy hair effects all of us. Straight hair, curly hair or somewhere in between.  Here are some tips for getting rid of the frizz:

 

If you have wavy hair: 

Use a good leave in conditioner, such as 444 spray by IHI. This will bring the moisture back into your hair and give you shine. 

 

Blot, do not rub your hair when it is wet. Rubbing wet hair causes friction, breakage and frizz. Gently blotting your wet hair to get out the moisture is always a good thing to prevent the frizz.

 

If you use any hot tools, make sure to use a good serum before applying the heat. We love the Zenyth serum by Sudzz FX. It smells great and a little goes a long way to provide shine and no more frizzies. 

 

If you have straight hair:

 

Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair shiny and frizz free. We love the combo of the Sudzz FX Cashmere shampoo and the Aquafix conditioner. 

 

Get a Keratin Treatment. We love the one we use at Donte's of New York as it does not contain any chemicals, seals your hair with keratin and makes your hair look shiny and gorgeous.

 

 

If you have deep curls or ringlets:

 

It is so important that you use products that give your curly, curls moisture. We love Qshi Creamy JL. This product is light, smells good and does not leave you with crunchy, or stiff hair. 

 

Diffuse, do not dry. With curly hair it is so important that you use a diffuser rather than a hot hair dryer. A diffuser works better because it actually spreads the heat around rather than focusing on one area.  Keeping high heat in one area of your head can cause a ton of frizzy hair. 

 

Do no brush your curls away. Brushing curly hair on a regular basis is a no-no. The reason being is that the curls when brushed will break, causing frizziness.  Instead limit your brushing to before getting in the shower to wash your hair and use a pick or wide tooth comb otherwise.

Who is Donte's of New York?

Donte's of New York is no newbie to the hair replacement/hair extension scene. In fact Donte's of New York started over 45 years ago and has been run ever since by Donte himself.

Donte started out in the Hair Replacement/ Hair Extension business by running his own factory that processed hair to be used in wigs and hair pieces. Soon after he realized that making his own wigs and hairpieces was a better way to help those who were in need of hair and thus began For Men Only in Queens, NY. 

For Men Only had locations in both Manhattan and on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, NY for 30 years always keeping the same phone number.

In 1997 Donte moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and in 1999 Donte's of New York was opened.  Donte's of New York has been in business in Scottsdale for the past 14 years and now both Donte and his daughter Tamara run the business,  and along with their very skilled team, provide  high quality, natural hair solutions to both men and women that do not require any surgery.
