Confessions of a Weave Convert: Jennifer Week Two

Yet another one of us got more hair put in this week. Extending herself from fourteen to something crazy like twenty two inches, our sew-in stylist has officially made me jealous at her length and texture.
That's okay. I console myself by remembering that my order will be coming in soon, more of the same light blonde, to be dyed bright purple. If I keep going this route, I�ll probably be Medusa by the end of the summer. At least I�ll have a built-in scarf come fall.
One of the things about finding something that works, and works well, such as extensions, is that you can�t stop. It�s addicting, you want more, more, more. �I was thinking�� I turn to my boss, who just says "No" and turns back to the business end of the hair industry, where I should be, if I weren't so busy twirling my hair (okay, not mine, but you know) around my finger.
I wonder if I'll reach my peak at some point, and the hair will stop working the way I want it to. What if I become the Joan Rivers of hair extensions? There are worse fates, I suppose. The roots I'll have under these extensions are probably one of them.

I'll be back to post my solutions here for getting rid of roots, making the perfect pony braids, and anything else I can think of!
With a hair flip, so life goes�

Why we love Virgin Coconut Oil on Indian Hair

Recently three clients of Indian descent came into Sunny's to pick up hair. We started talking to them about what they do to take care of their, considering that our biggest seller is Indian Hair.

Most of the hair we sell is from Southern India where they are known for growing long wavy and curly hair. The area is also known for its abundance of coconut trees.

The women told me that Indian Women don't put a lot of heat on their hair and also swear by extra virgin coconut oil. They recommended rubbing just a little bit on the ends every few days or using it as a pre-wash conditioning treatment.

So at Sunny's we have decided to try this regimen on our Indian Hair Extensions. And we all agree that coconut oil is amazing.

Let's first disclose that prior to using coconut oil, we strongly discouraged women from using any type of oil on Indian Hair. For the most part using oil on Indian Hair just overwhelms the hair shaft. Oils in the US tend to be filled with cheap fillers such as mineral oil or petroleum that clog the scalp and cuticle of the hair shaft. Many people who experience tangling with Indian hair do so because they use oily products that they would use on their own hair.


So... imagine our reluctance about using Coconut oil on our Indian hair extensions. But we all report after using it for about 3 weeks just as instructed we have noticed the following:

1. It has eliminated dandruff: We all have varying degrees of dandruff but we have all noticed that using a tiny amount of coconut oil on our scalp every other day we have completely eliminated any issues with dandruff.
2. It give our own natural hair a healthy but subtle shine: Not only does the coconut oil give the Indian hair a nice sheen it also works wonders on our hair that we have left out of our extensions. I personally put a little on before flat-ironing my hair with a FHI and it didn't sizzle the hair nor leave it heavy and greasy.
3. Our hair actually absorbs the oil: This is the best part... there is no grease spots on our pillowcase or chunky heavy hair that has been coated with oil. After rubbing it in... it just melts into our hair shaft.
4. It eliminated the annoy post extensions itch: Three days post weave it is typical to experience itching. With the coconut oil, no such fate!
5. The ends are tame: Sometimes Indian Hair if left untrimmed has split ends but we noticed that the coconut oil works to tame any split ends and leave the hair looking healthy.

So the unanimous consensus is that Coconut Oil on Indian Hair is simply amazing!

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

Looks we love!!!

We are obbessed with Blake Lively. We love her long loose waves. We keep getting request for her long locks which we think are unfortunately 100% hers. But to achieve her look this is what we recommend:

1. But 20" hair in a variety of blond colors.
2. Use Clips Ins or Pre-Tipped Strands
3. Buy Straight Hair and loosely braid into two braids at night for a low maintenance yet sophisticated look.

Confessions of a Weave Convert: Jennifer

Jennifer, our website manager and writer will be our guest blogger for today. She has recently received a full head of hair extensions courtesy of Tonye of Great Hair Infusions & Sunnys: the salon.


There I stood, at the corner of 10th and Piedmont, my new hair blowing gracefully in the breeze “Un-be-weave-able!” I roll my eyes. I’ve gotten that a lot lately.

A few young women had approached me asking where I get my hair done, tugging at it and taking business flyers. When I’m not at work, I bring my online marketing efforts streetside, and that includes wearing about a pound of hair, dyed bright purple to match what I already had.

Okay, so maybe it isn’t that heavy, and dying extensions on your own isn’t recommended unless you’re an experienced professional, but it sure feels fierce/femme fatale/rock star. Every glamorous way you can imagine, that’s what new hair does to you.

“Isn’t it the point that people aren’t supposed to know you’re wearing hair?”

You can pretend the tumbling strands atop your head are all yours, but more likely than not, you’ll want to share the secret, the way we tend to excitedly squeal about how much our shoes cost – “3 dollars in the clearance section!” Because a good beauty trick is good for everyone.

Sunny’s motto “Change your hair, change your life” is true, as we all know from having awful hair cuts at one time or another. With extensions, even clip-ins, you can change your life for the brighter, the better, the longer (I personally recommend 18 inches or more!) . It’s amazing what a little hair-do!
