Dating & Hair Extensions: When do you reveal

An recent post on Hairnistachronicles.com brought up a great point...dating and hair.

We at Sunny's are specifically curious about dating and hair extensions.

We are just curious... when is the best time to bring up that you wear hair extensions or is it something that isn't even necessary to discuss.

Bad Rep Barbie

We just got a new wig line in by Forever Young that feature some wigs that totally remind us of the new limited release "Ladies of the 80's" Barbie. This is the Joan Jett Barbie, who we love!


The wigs are in stores now just in time to purchase them to go see the new Joan Jett Biopic played by Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame.

Sunny's Girls in the Media

In case you missed it... Sunny's Girls filmed a segment on the latest in wigs & hair extensions on Fox Atlanta news this morning.

Rumor Has It... Serena is in High Demand

The New York Times has "time capsule" piece on the increased requests for "Gossip Girl" hair specifically Blake Lively.

With over 713,000 results for the search for Blake Lively hair... her toussled and effortless hair is making a cultural impact a la "The Rachel" of the 90's.

The NY Times reports:

For those who haven’t won the genetic lottery, Mr. John Barrett adds removable extensions of human hair similar to a fall ($1,200 to $1,500 per piece) and recommends a litany of treatments to maintain Ms. Lively’s look. Not including the extensions, just the cut, which costs around $500 at his salon, conditioning treatments and heat styling tally up to around $1,200 a month.

A small price to pay, some would say, to look like a star.


At Sunny's we have a much more affordable and realistic suggestions. 18" Lord & Cliff Clip In Extensions in 7 pcs. We the hair and spray with David Babaii Bohemian Beach Mist and scrunch the natural wave pattern in the clip in extensions and diffuse with a blow dryer on a low setting.

For more defined waves you could set the hair with the Beach Mist and braid in large sections and allow to air dry. Once the hair is completely dry while still in the braid wrap the bottom three inches along a 1" curling iron barrel.

To achieve Blake's stunning golden blonde tones try colors such as 6/16/12/613, 10/16/24, and 18/24

Looks we Love: Carrie Underwood

Carrie's Album debuts today!

This country music diva always manages to achieve just the perfect tone of blonde.

To recreate Carrie's effortless style:

• Use the Lord & Cliff 7 pcs Extensions in 14" in Color 16/22
• Place 5 of the 7 Pieces in beginning at the nape of the neck and working about two inches from the crown
  
• Use a light thermal protectant to protect the hair such as Chi Hot Sauce
• Use a 3/4 inch flat iron to create a soft wave by wrapping the hair the outside of the iron
• Allow the hair to cool and brush out the waves

We can't wait to hear Carrie's new album.

Looks we Love: Toni Braxton ... So Yesterday

OMG!!!!

We love it Toni! We love it!

Radiant at our Atlanta location just made a custom wig for a celebrity Sunny's Girl... so we were thrilled to see Toni Braxton rocking a similar style on her latest video for So Yesterday.

If you are looking for your own custom wig come to Sunny's to discuss your options!

Plus we love how her set is an ode to Hollywood Regency style that inspired our Sunny's Cash Wrap.

Looks we Love: Naomi Campbell by Michael Kors

Francois Nars the legendary makeup artist and founder of NARS Cosmetics, releases his book of celebrity portraits to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of his cosmetics company.

While Naomi is such an a amazing palatte if you wanted to recreate her look this is the Sunny's Girl recommendations:

1. Purchase Bohyme Egyptian Wave in 14" and 18" in Color # 2

2. Have your stylist sew in a full head of extensions and razor in blunt bangs and soft face framing layers. The 14" package of Bohyme Egyptian Wave should be used on top to create natural layers and the 18" should be used at the nape of the neck to create the length.

3. Wash hair with Ever Pure by Loreal and then allow the hair to dry with a diffuser to control the soft natural wave of the hair.

4. Line your eyes with a soft kohl eyeliner in a dark brown shade and add plum and neutral eye shadows in the crease of lid. Finish off the eye with black mascara:  a personal staff fave is Dior Show Blackout in Black 099

5. Dust the cheeks with Taj Mahal by NARS to deliver a soft accent to your cheekbones.

6. Channel your innermost diva!
