Hair Extensions: Switch-it-up



The great thing about accessories is that you can switch it up to add just the right thttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifouch to an outfit, a personality, a lifestyle. We feel that hair is no different. On Sunny's Hair & Wigs we like to offer suggestions for each product as far as when, where and how to wear it.

Me being new to the world of hair extensions, I want to try as much as I can, and after having a glue in weft, several wigs, cold infusion and hot fusion, I’m making my way to clip-ins. It’s perfect timing, in fact, because Sunny’s currently promoting Sunny's Clip In Extensions at 20% off with code switch-it-up, as it says in the title of the article.
I’m often asked where I got my hair done, and if I have any recommendations. Of course I do! If you happen to see me on the street, feel free to ask. I may just pull a clip-in swath of purple off of my head and hand it to you! It leaves a bigger impression than a business card (which I also have).

Of course, all of our real-time Sunny's locations sell a variety of clip-ins as well, but some have more crazy colors than the others. If you can’t find a color you like, check out my previous article on coloring hair extensions for tips on alternative looks.

As always, Sunny’s wants you to remember: Change your hair… Change your life. One clip-in at a time!

Italian Vogue: Black Beauty





When news first leaked months ago about the groundbreaking issue of Vogue, we at Sunny's have been waiting with baited breath for it to arrive on US newsstands.

Well...we are still waiting to get our hands on it, and after scouring through Atlanta newsstands and New York City, we still aren't giving because the word is that the demand has been so overwhelming that Vogue is reprinting 40,000 copies of the July edition featuring all black models.

So for now, courtesy of a New York Time slideshow a few weeks ago, we highlight some of Steven Meisel's brilliance.

Best Selling Item! Beverly Johnson Lacefront Wigs

All Sunny's Locations are reporting the phenomenal sales of Beverly Johnson Lacefront Wigs.

They just arrived in the past two weeks and three locations have already sold out of them. The staff loves Beverly Johnson's Lacefront wigs because they are an affordable option for many women who are curious about lacefront wigs. When gas is $4 a gallon, not everyone has $600 & up for a human hair lacefront wig.

But why we really love them is because the are just great wigs. The styles are very polished and the texture of the wigs makes them look so realistic. The best thing is that the Beverly Johnson Lacefront wigs offers the best of both worlds because they have synthetic fibers that can be curled with a curling iron with heat up to 325 degrees.

The prices begin at $90 and up and are now available at all Sunnys Hair and Wigs locations.

Hair Extensions: To Dye or Not to Dye



To dye or not to dye…

As I may have mentioned before, and anyone who’s seen me knows, I have bright purple hair that I’ve been doing myself for years. In that time I’ve learned plenty about how to do it, and also how NOT to do it. Some things of note for selecting color and hair type:

*Check out our Bohyme Color Chart and our Pre-Tipped Hair extensions color ring for all your color options. If there is not an extensions blend that you find suitable for matching your own color, the best bet for matching your hair color, whether alternative or natural, is to color the extensions with the same formula used on your own hair.

*We do not recommend using a permanent color mixture on any of our pre-processed, textured or colored hair, like Bohyme Hair Extensions.

*Ammonia or peroxide-based color mixtures degrade the hair cuticle, occasionally leading to dryness, rough texture and breakage. If your permanent hair color comes in several different tubes that you mix together to apply, it’s likely that you are using ammonia or peroxide-based color.

*For permanent coloring, virgin Indian hair is most recommended. Note that the color samples that line the product shelves are often synthetic hair, or hair that has already been bleached to platinum and re-processed, so your results will vary greatly. If you are looking to have Indian Hair lifted to a blonde color, you may want to get high-lift bleach and lift all the color out of the hair first, or your desired honey blonde may end up brassy or orange.

*If you do not color your hair yourself or have never ventured into the arena of hair color in the past, we recommend getting input from a professional, especially for matching highlight patterns and other multiple-process colors.
*For multiple processes, such as lifting with bleach and reapplying color, shampoo and condition between processes, but after the final process, simply rinse well and condition to neutralize the active lifting and depositing chemicals.

*Coloring and highlighting of weft hair can be done before or after the hair has been applied. Infusion extensions should be colored individually, before application, with your color formula. While this is time-consuming, coloring in bunches or bundles does not allow you to get close to the tip of the hair, leaving a “root” of uncolored hair that will show once applied.

*For alternative colored extensions, simply buy the lightest blonde available, preferably a 613 or a 60 and apply your color or tone to the hair per manufacturers instructions. Do not shampoo as most of these colors are washable and will fade.

*To achieve the popular look of alternative-colored streaks with a platinum base color, it is recommended that you purchase a pack of 909Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions in your desired color. The color is permanent in the pre-colored extensions and will not fade or bleed onto the rest of your hair when washing. For dark base colors, you can go either way, as the color washing out will not affect your dark color.

*When touching up new growth or “roots”, it is most recommended to separate your loose hair from your extension hair and focus on those areas, so as to not damage your bonds or sew-in. If possible, have your extensions removed, color as usual, and reapply extensions to the hair. This is where my recommended scarf tricks come in handy!

These are my tips and recommendations for coloring extensions. If you have any specific questions, feel free to email me personally at Jennifer@sunnyshairandwigs.com. I can do custom color work for an additional fee to be discussed at a later time. That service is limited to Atlanta locals, so they can be involved in every step of the perfect hair color process.
