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!

Product Spotlight: Bohyme Brazilian Wave

A Focus on the Game Changers: Hair Products that have Changed the Game Curly Hair Edition

 

A list of our top beauty products in the past decade that have changed the game for women with Curly hair.  A lot of these products aren't sold on our website...but we know that you don't want to search all over the web looking for them.  We've created a store on Amazon.com that features all of these products.


1. Indian Hair:  It eliminated the weave crawl...you know what we mean...when your weave starts crawling on itself and tangling...  Now us regular girls can have the same hair as our favorite celebs.

2. Tancho Stick:  Tamed the edges with a gentle lavender wax.  It's an essential part of a "California Press"

3. Aphoghee Two Step Protein Treatment: This hard core protein treatment changed the game.  Just when you are about to write off your hair as a thin piecey mess....this treatment can revitalize even the thinnest and sorriest of hair.  It is a must for when you take out your hair extensions.

4. Sulfate Free Shampoos: Deva Curl No Poo or Curls Cleansing Cream:  Thanks to Sunny's Girl Lacey.... we learned about the miracle regimen by the founder of Deva Curl.  No sulfates, no towels and no combs with seams to manage curly hair.

5. Brazilian Keratin Treatments:  The word on the street is that this just might be the all time game changer.  It's not a relaxer but it does help control frizz. The consensus is that this treatment allows you to do you hair on your own without always having to run to a salon to get sleek shiny straight hair.

Looks we Love: Laura Izibor

We stumbled across Laura Izibor's music the other day and we love her natural tresses.  She embraces the texture and styles her curls with a spunk that is still elegant.  So much so that we declare Laura Ibizor a look we love! 
How would we recreate her look?  12" Bohyme Brazilian Wave dry cut with some face framing layers in color 2/30.   Allow the hair to dry in two strand twists to have a more defined look or allow it to air dry as it is for a look more like Laura.

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!

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

Sunny's Hair & Wigs: Photo Gallery of our Products

Sometimes it's hard to imagine what the hair we sell is like from our product photos. Sure the hair looks nice on celebrities or an airbrushed photo with lighting and makeup.

At Sunny's Hair & Wigs we don't just sell the products, we wear them. We wanted to show some of us as well as our customers who have sent in photos of them out and about with Sunny's Hair and Wigs products.

We have listed the length and color of each product. If you have photos that you'd like to send in please send them to info@sunnyshairandwigs.com

Natural Hair Care Suggestions

At Sunny's we love Natural Hair. Many of our staff have converted from relaxers to natural hair by using hair extensions.

Recently we have fallen in love with Bohyme Brazilian Wave. The name is misleading, it sounds like it would be wet and wavy waves...but it's not...it's something much much better.

It is the closest match to healthy afro curl hair. Our summer stylist Lysandra specializes in transitioning natural hair and uses a way of delicately braiding hair as to not pull too tight. She creates a base for the hair to add support and sews on the Brazilian Wave...

The staff at our Sunny's Atlanta are the newest converts.

Bohyme Brazilian Wave starts at $90.00 for 12" it is available in 1, 1B, 2, 4, 1B/30, 4/30
