Sunny's Hair Solutions:Hair Breakage

Is your hair stressed out from day to day wear? Are you experiencing breakage and brittleness? If you want to give your hair a break but still rock extensions here are some fabulous options you may like:

• Invest in a designer wig or an adjustable cap lace-front-that way you don have to apply glue to fasten it. Deep condition hair on your down time with a water-based moisturizer (we love Cantu Shea Butter leave-in) and an oil whether it be coconut oil or olive oil. Wearing a wig gives you the flexibility you need so that you can tend to your tresses as often as you'd like.
• Invest in a custom fall, which is basically like wearing a wig,but as custom suggests you can have it made any way you want with the hair of your choice. This too gives you some flexibility.
• If you choose to wear your own hair, then clip-in extensions should be your number one accessory! Add temporary volume and length with our favorite Lord and Cliffs 3 piece clip-in extensions.
  

Breakage is not natural, and is an indication of an imbalance within the hair strand. Broken hairs do not fall naturally from the head, but are typically a sign of mishandling or abuse. The proper treatments and balance of protein and moisture will help stop breakage in its tracks.

Looks we Love: Kerry Washington

It's been a minute! But wow! We love Kerry Washington and her effortless yet classic style.

To recreate her look:

• Sew in 6-8 ounces of Natural Straight Double Drawn Indian hair in 14"
• Use lightweight hairspray such as Air Control by Aveda
  
• Curl hair with 1" barrel by placing curling iron 2 inches down and wrap hair in a spiral pattern around barrel for 10-15 seconds
  
• Immediately transfer curl pattern to velcro rollers to allow hair to cool into curl pattern
• Create 1" part slightly off center
  
• Release hair from velcro rollers and apply more hair spray to keep curls and lightly separate hair with fingers for an effortless yet controlled coif

Get Her Look:Leigthon Meester-VMA Style

If you wanna vamp up your look, try Leighton's sexy tousled waves. Here are some step by step tips to attain your celebrity look if you have naturally way hair:
1. Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo (clarifying shampoos can work well too, since they don’t weigh hair down).
2. Use a light, volumizing conditioner — but just on the ends of your hair. Gently work the conditioner through your hair using a wide-tooth detangling comb. If you have any snarls and tangles, make sure to get them out now because you won’t be combing or brushing your hair once you rinse.
3. Rinse well and wrap hair up in a towel. We love the super absorbent ones, since they really help speed up the drying process.
4. Once you unwrap your hair, it is extremely important that you do not comb or brush it out. This is essential to preserve your hair’s natural wave patterns as well as to take full advantage of the texture created by giving your hair some time to dry while wrapped in the towel.
5. Using your fingers, work a small amount of curl enhancing gel or texturizing curl spray all the way from the roots to the tips of your hair, scrunching and twisting random sections of hair as you go.
5. Allow hair to dry naturally, but make sure to periodically scrunch and tousle your hair as it dries.

If you don't have naturally wavy hair follow steps 1. and 2. and then:
3.Get hair completely dry
4.A curling iron works best for fine, straight hair. Separate half-inch pieces and wrap around the curling iron's barrel in a corkscrew fashion. Hold briefly, for less time than if you were going for a very curly look, then release.
5. Let sections cool and gently loosen with your fingers into waves.
6.The secret to a long-lasting tousle is the finishing step when styling it. A holding (not stiff) spray, like Aveda's Air Control Hair Spray, helps hold fine hair's new waves. To create the finishing, piecey look on curly or wavy hair, apply a styling wax or heavyweight balm, like Artec Texture Paste, just to the ends.

Who was the best Sunny's Girl? MTV VMA Awards

We love love love Kim Kardashian... she just might be our favorite Sunny's Girl. So we had to say we were a little sad when she abandoned her signature dark hair for blonde this summer.

So we are so happy to read on her blog that she's going back to her roots this fall.

Looks we Love: Tyra's Real Hair!

She's a Sunny's Girl after all. There was initially some skepticism about her declaration of Wear your Own Hair Day.

But... we must say that she does embody our thoughts on hair extensions, they are meant to be the ultimate accessory...not the ultimate necessity.

We at Sunny's always encourage women to take care of their hair underneath their wigs and extensions to ensure that you can continue to switch up your look and be just as proud of your real hair as you are of your hair extensions and wigs!

Poll: Thoughts on National Wear your Own Hair Day???

As a group who not only sells hair extensions but lives for hair extensions... we aren't quite sure what to make of Tyra's declaration that she is going hair extension free.

After years of benefitting from the versatility and protection that wearing wigs and hair extensions offer why should everyone now be directed by Tyra to wear their own hair?

While we at Sunny's are always encouraging women to take care of their own natural hair and to give themselves a break from the toll that hair extensions can take on your hair... we don't think that any hairnista should force another hairnisita to discard her hair extensions just because we decided we want a break from ours....

So we'll let you Sunny's Girls weigh in on this:

Is your hair aging you??

A new interesting product on the market taps into women's fear of aging.... as if we need one more anti-aging product to purchase. But they do make an interesting point... just as skin gives away your age...maybe your hair is to. Read more about the product and decide for yourself.
