Celebrity hair stylist Cynthia Alvarez (twitter: @HairbyCynthia) is the name behind some of the beautiful editorial & red carpet looks of Melanie Fiona, Kerry Washington, KeKe Palmer, Alicia Keys & Tamar Braxton to speak of a few.

While it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that the hair on these celebs is homegrown, you’ll be happy to know that there was some trickery involved, also known as weaves girlfriends! On Tamar, Cynthia used Capri Silky Hand-Tied, and on Melanie no weave, however, if you wanted to create this look you could use New York Silky Wave both from the Hair Factory.

Q:  How did you become affiliated with the Hair Factory?

A:  I became affiliated with Hair Factory through their PR. They contacted me and I’ve been hooked ever since. Hair Factory’s hair has impeccable quality and I’m excited to be working with them. I’ve come across plenty of hair extension companies, but none like the quality I get from Hair Factory.
