Product Spotlight: Nioxin Scalp Renew


Ladies... we all know how addictive hair extensions can be. It seems like the longer you have them in the more you really believe that it is your hair. But guess what...it's not.

Underneath your hair extensions lie a scalp deeply in need of stimulation and cleansing. So we have discovered a product that we can't live without. Nioxin's Scalp Renew is a micro-dermabrasion treatment for your scalp. The use of enzymatic exfoliants lift sebum and dirt that clog your pores on your scalp and allow it to properly product collagen.

In simple terms it makes your scalp tingle and is the ultimate facial for your scalp allowing you to have healthy hair.

By taking care of your scalp you can ensure that you will be able to wear your hair extensions and still have healthy hair.

Looks we Love: Britney at Teen Choice Awards



We love Britney's pared down look on the red carpet for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. Her hair was simple not too much hair but simple layers.

To recreate her look we'd suggest Bohyme Pre-Tipped Extensions in Silky Straight 14" in color 613 to recreate her golden blonde locks.

Get her look: Teyana Taylor



It's a well kept industry secret...but Brazilian Wave is often the answer for those who seek large textured full hair.

Teyana Taylor is rocking hers like no other so we thought we'd reveal the secret on how to recreate her look.

We'd recommend two bags of Brazilian Wave in Color 1B. We would do one package of 18" and one of 14" to naturally recreate the layers worn by Teyana. Then we would do a full head of sewn-in extensions that leave a little of the hairline out.

To maintain this look become friends with affordable moisturizing products such as Cantu Shea Butter, Curls Milkshake or a oldie but goodie Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1. We'd twist out the hair in two strand twist to define and give the curl a uniform look. Then after it air dries lightly separate the curls with your fingers coated in a product such as Morrocan Oil or Argan Oil and then have fun!

Is it a look we love?



Wow!

We Kim K is living our mantra... Change your Hair... Change your Life.

We love Kim K at Sunny's but we always loved how she stayed true to her dark hair and owned the look.

Now we are left to ponder who's gonna represent the brunette bombshell vixen spot now that Kim has gone sun-kissed blonde.

We are guessing that her recent breakup left her wanting a change and while she does look stunning we are quite sure yet if this is a look we love.... So we will leave it up to you...



Well if you love Kim K's look and want to recreate it here are some recommendations

Short Term Look:
Smooth and Straight Clip Ins in Color 479. One of our top selling colors delivers that perfect multi-tonal blonde that we all pine for.

Long Term Look:
Strand by Strand Extensions by 909 in 20" Silky Straight. We would purchase one pack of 613 for platinum highlights, Two Packs 909 of 14/22 for Golden Rich Blonde and Two packs of 479 for rich luscious dimension.

We see you Khloe and Kourtney: Love the Hair Extensions!!!!


We love love love the Kardashian sisters. They are spunky, entrepreneurial and most of all hair extension junkies. So of course we are so excited for the premiere of their new show Kourtney and Khloe take Miami!

We love the hair extensions they are rocking. They embrace their natural hair color and texture and just enhance it with extremely long hair. To recreate their look we'd recommend Indian Hair Natural Wave in 22".

Kourtney and Khloe most likely use individual pretipped hair extensions towards the nape of the neck to enhance their length and have versatility.

For those who can't quite commit to the drama of long hair, we'd recommend the Make it Sunny's Custom Clip in option to allow for experimenting with long hair.

Congrats Dania! New Face Of Cover Girl



A quintessential American Brand beloved around the world has welcomed one of our fave up and coming celebrities as their new spokesmodel... Dania Ramirez

She's a lovely actress who hair never fails to make us jealous.

To achieve Dania's sultry look we'd recommend Indian Hair in Natural Wave in 18". We'd use approximately one and half bundles to create a full but not too intense recreation of her lovely locks. With subtle face framing layers we'd set the hair on rollers and let the hair embrace it's natural wave pattern with a light product to set curls such as Aveda's Air Control.

Humidity Insurance: Curly Hair Care Suggestions for Summer Heat


For many Sunny's Girls it's been a long hot summer (excluding our NYC Sunny's Girls) but for most of us I think we realize that instead of fighting humidity maybe it's time to embrace it.

Summer climates can be brutal on straight hair styles. The moisture in the air swells the hair shaft reverting our original textures.

This summer many of us have resigned our straight sleek hair fantasies and embraced curly hair extensions. Constantly using heat to straighten your hair can wreak havoc on your strands.

We recommend the following products to embrace Summer Humidity:

Curly and Fine Hair
: Bohyme French Refined

Curly and Textured Hair
: Indian Hair Natural Curl
Curly and Natural (Not Relaxed): Bohyme Brazilian Wave
