Product Spotlight: Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo

Whenever I straighten my hair... I love it the first few days....but catch me on day 3 and I am an oily mess.  I have tried powders,  dry shampoos of every type but recently I have found my new love: Oscar Blandi Volumizing Dry Shampoo

The shampoo goes on clear and has a neutralizing odor nothing too strong.   The trick that I learned is that you must use dry shampoo before you need it!  This dry shampoo is perfect because it doesn't leave a build up and isn't drying.  Instead it infuses your hair with texture and volume. 

I'd highly recommend this dry shampoo to anyone with strand by strand extensions.  It allows you to keep your roots free from oil and sweat so that the extensions don't slide out your hair before they are ready to come out.


Does anyone have any dry shampoo that they prefer?

Splurgeworthy: PHYTO Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask

On a recent salon visit one of our top stylists told us she had a treat for us...well she didn't disappoint. For our deep conditioning treatment she used PHYTO Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask. This mask is formulated for dry hair and moisturizes, detangles, and softens. As you can probably tell by the play on words in its name, the mask is infused with jojoba oil...one of my favorites. This product is also free of sulfates and parabens which will make this a definite keeper in our book. This is a great treat for your favorite Sunny's Girl(or just for yourself!). Even if your hair isn't severely dry this mask is amazing to combat the harsh damage that everyday wear and tear can do to your locks.

So add this to your wish list Sunny's Girls :)

Product Spotlight: Silicone Mix

With the stress of summer on your tresses under full effect, this product provides a magical barrier to protect from heat damage, chlorine and general dryness. 

Silicon Mix is a favorite conditioner at most Dominican hair salons.

What they say: Silicon Mix contains Silicones, Keratin, Ceramides which soften, give strength and shine to hair, plus conditioning agents to protect and replenish your hair's natural moisture.

What we say:  It smells rather "perfumey"  And if it is a smell that you are not partial to, it won't be a hit because it is an overwhelming smell.  We rather enjoy the smell but what we really love is the penetrating moisture it offers.  It is the perfect product to combat frizziness and tangles, especially on Indian Hair that is about to reach it's expiration point.   I personally have been using Silicone Mix on a bundle of Natural Wave Indian hair that I purchased over a year ago.  It soothes the tresses with each conditioning session and allows me to keep on using this hair until the "wheels  fall off". 

For the price you can't beat the power of this moisturizing conditioner.

Product Spotlight: Mario Bedescu Facial Spray with Rosewater

  

We have always been a fan of Mario Bedescu Products. They are natural lightweight and non-irritating.  So of course it's only natural for our fave skin care products to migrate to our obsession...hair.

I have personally used the Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater for years to help refresh my skin and set my makeup.  

The other day I tried using the mist on my hair extensions to lightly refresh and detangle them.  The rosewater and aloe allow soothe the cuticles and allow the perfect source of moisture for Indian Hair. 

The spray is lightweight enough to use daily, and it's much better than regular old tap water which often has heavy mineral deposits that render the water hard and requiring conditioners to soften the water which leads to product buildup.  

What do you think Sunny's Girls what is your favorite refreshing spray for your hair extensions.  Post a comment to share your personal faves.

Product Spotlight: Why we love Global Keratin

We love the Global Keratin line of products for our hair extensions.  The sulfate free line of products is the perfect product to maintain hair extensions.  Even if you don't have a Keratin treatment on your hair, this line still works really well to delicately clean the hair while fortifying the hair with keratin.

The  Global Keratin Moisturizing Shampoo (10.1 oz) is great but the conditioner is truly amazing.  This is the best slippage conditioner we have ever tried.  Tell us your thoughts!

Product we Love: Denman Thermal Straightening Brush

We can't claim that we discovered this but a Sunny's Girl put us onto this miracle in a brush.  The Denman Thermal Ceramic Brush uses natural boar bristles to smooth unruly tresses.   Our Sunny's Girl uses it to straighten her Indian Hair and her hair is flawless.  She swears by using the Denman brush in front of her FHI Runway flatiron and all it takes is one pass to deliver silky smooth straight hair that isn't too heat damaged.
