The Hills.... A Look We Loved for Years

It's been a looked we loved watching evolve over the years.  As huge fans of Laguna Beach and on and off again fans of The Hills.  But parting is such sweet sorrow we are going to miss the sometimes vapid yet entertaining fun that The Hills has offered over the past years.

So in honor of the Series Finale we declare last night a Look We Love.  We especially like Lauren's textured ponytail.  To achieve Lauren's look we'd recommend using her fave method of hair extensions, Skin Weft hair gathered into a low pony.  We'd use a 1" curling iron to make disheveled waves.

Looks we Love: Sister Edition

We love the Simmons Sisters Double Cover for this month issue Of Honey Magazine.

In the interview they discuss their love of extensions while still embracing their own hair:

Vanessa: I just took out all my extensions and [certain sites] are like, “Oh, we don’t believe it” but it’s all my hair.

Angela: At the end of the day, we got hair under these weaves.

Holiday Party Ready Hair

Holiday Party season is in full swing!

Take a cue from your favorite celebrities. Elle.com features a great photo gallery this month on celebrity inspired Holiday hair styles.

To recreate these looks here some tips:

Ciara: Go bold with a long ponytail piece. With the help of 7 pcs extensions in 18" clip in all the small pieces towards the center of your head and slick into a sleek ponytail. Use Tancho Stick or any pomade to secure your hair along the perimeter. Tip: Clip in some pieces towards the nape of your neck upside down so that they slick into a ponytail easier.

Sienna: Channel your inner 40's screen goddess by clipping in 14" Hair Extensions or the Lord & Cliff One Piece. Create gentle waves with a 2" curling iron. To achieve Sienna's gorgeous color opt for colors such as 16/22 or 140/22

Beyonce: Opt for ease and experiment with a Full Lace Wig with Natural Curls. Color such as 6/16/24 will deliver Beyonce's trademark golden locks without damaging your own tresses.

Kate: Nothing grabs attention at a holiday party then giving off the illusion you cut your tresses into a graduated tousled bob. Recreate the look by loosely pinning waves at the nape of your neck and allowing some waves to naturally fall forward.

Who had the best hair in their AMA Performance?

Sunny's Hair 2009: A Reflective Poll: Best Video Look of 2009

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: 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!

Looks we Love: Kim Kardashian, LaLa and Ciara

The ultimate Sunny's Girl celebrated her birthday this past weekend in Las Vegas. What a stylish set of friend's she has.

To achieve LaLa and Ciara's look we'd recommend 10 ounces of Indian Hair Natural Wave in 22". To recreate their long big-barreled curls we'd blow out the Indian Hair and then using a lightweight hairspray such as AirControl by Aveda we'd use a 1" curling iron to create spiral curls and then set with pins to cool into the curls.

To recreate Kim Kardashian's ode to Sasha Fierce we'd use the ever so easy Lord & Cliff One Piece Clip In Extensions and clip it in towards the nape of the neck and crown area and secure that into a high ponytail. We'd tease the crown area to recreate the voluminous pump ponytail look.

Trend Alert: Loose Elegant Waves ... 2009 Emmy Edition

We've identified a lovely trend at the 2009 Emmy Awards...loose and elegant waves. Our personal favorite was Vanessa Williams! Who was yours?

To achieve this look we'd recommend a nice body wave such as Bohyme Body Wave to create the elegant waves.

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"

• 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

Recreate her Look: Toni Braxton

We are so excited for the return of all the divas like Whitney Houston & Toni Braxton. Toni Braxton was the original Sunny's Girl of the 90's open declaring her love for hair extensions when she went from her short crop to her luscious long curls.

So her new single Yesterday is out for an album slated to drop in February.

To recreate Toni's Look:

• Use 2 packages of 909 Pre-tipped hair extensions in 16" in color 479- this color provides the multi-tonal caramel highlights
  
• Use 1 package of 909 Pre-tipped hair extensions in 16" in color 6/1010- this color provides the ash brown base color
  
• Use 1 package of 909 Pre-Tipped hair extensions in 16" in color 4a- this color warms the whole look with medium brown tones

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:

Looks we Love: Beyonce

It's been a minute since we featured the beloved Sunny's Girl Beyonce....

She looks effortless and stunning in her tousled Indian Hair Extensions.

To Achieve this look we'd recommend:

• 8 ounces of Natural Wave Indian Hair in Sunlifted Tones

This product is only available in Sunny's Retail Locations

We see Adrienne Bailon: Love the Hair Extensions

Whether singing our fave get ready for the club song Neva get Enough with 3LW or representing in Disney's The Cheetah Girls or front and center on our fave hair extensions reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians...Adrienne has always been on the Sunny'radar screen.

So we are loving her new waist length hair extensions she rocked in her Honey Magazine layout.

To achieve her long luscious curly hair extensions we'd use Indian Hair Natural Curl in 26" and allow the curls to dry with a little bit of Agadir Argan Oil and Curl Defining Product and allowing to dry with a diffuser.

Across the pond post: British Looks We Love

Girl's Aloud star Cheryl Cole is a color swapping diva and we love her long tousled hair any color she chooses.

Want to achieve her look...we'd recommend:

• Lord & Cliff Clip In Extensions 18" in Color 4/27/30/33 for her bold red tones
  
• Smooth & Straight Clip In Extensions in color 479 for her Caramel highlights

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.

Looks we Love: Miley Cyrus wow!

We were blown away by the stunning cover of Elle Magazine featuring Miley Cyrus. At first glance we thought it was Beyonce but...Miley looks stunning! Your thoughts?

Looks we Love: Beyonce

We at Sunny's can't hardly wait for Beyonce's Tour to come to Atlanta. She's the ultimate hair extensionista and we love the drama and high fashion she's bringing to her tour with her Thierry Mugler designs.
