Sunny's Girls: A word on Hair Supply

Hi Sunny's Girls,

We don't often write a too the point letter to our devoted fans but we wanted to address our true hairnistas.  You know who you are... you can't imagine life without your hair extensions, you buy hair like some people buy groceries ( we could go on and on but we'll spare you because you know who you are).

A true hairnista knows that good hair is hard to come by. Not all bundles are created equal and some batches of hair are legendary  (you wore it for 3 years than lent it to your sister who then made clip ins from it etc.)  While others...you just don't love, it sheds a little more than you'd like etc.

So we wanted to give a word to the wise of our true Sunny's Girls.  Due to recent economic issues the supply chain for human hair extensions are very very tight!

Some of these factors include:
  • Increased global demand for Remy Hair Extensions (especially from emerging markets like Brazil, and Nigeria
  • Weakening value of US dollar relative to other currencies
  • Increased working wages and worker's demands for rights in countries producing the hair ( China and India)
  • Hair is a natural resource
These factors have put stress on many of our vendors recently. For instance, Bohyme Brazilian Wave has been out of stock for over three months with no end in sight.  Bobbi Boss by Indi Remy is out of stock of all hair textures until October. 

We ask of you that you be patient with us through these trying times for a hairnista.  We can work with to you to recommend backup products in case your old faithful is out of stock. 

We also recommend that you take better care of your hair extensions so that they last longer.  We recommending sealing wefts so that you ensure minimal shedding. 

Also...if you have a product that you love and can't live without and it is in stock: order more!  This way you have it as a back for your next appointment. 


But have no fear...the times will change!

Great post, but a true hairnista-who can't imagine life without hair extensions must make sure they protect their natural hair from getting tangled as well.
