With the lead up to Christmas, so begins the endless parade of parties for the season. While we all know that keeping up appearances means countless wardrobe changes, tube-tan and a pair of flat shoes stashed in your handbag at all times – what about your hair? Just like you’d never be seen in the same dress more than once, weeks of transforming your hair from office-drab to party-fab can take its toll.
To help with your Christmas style,
Sebastian Professional offers you convenient packs combining all the tools you’ll need to ensure your hair is kept in shape and party-ready. No matter what your style, Sebastian’s Design Team Director, Joey Scandizzo, has four commandments to ensure you’ve got the right foundation for flawless locks over the Christmas party season:
Moisturise
Take a page from Keri Russell’s book and tame that frizz. “The main reason hair becomes frizzy is because it’s dehydrated,” says Joey, “and curly hair is a naturally drier hair type, so needs a lot of moisture to avoid frizziness.” Enter Sebastian’s Thirst Quencher pack, combining the intensively hydrating Hydre Shampoo and Conditioner with smoothing cream serum, Taming Elixir.
“This smoothing combo adds moisture to your hair at the same time as giving it heat, UV, salt water and chlorine protection – perfect for the drier summer months. Taming Elixir’s semi-dry silicones smooth down fly-aways to leave hair feeling incredibly smooth, soft and healthy.”
Revitalise
What ever your style, there’s no better foundation than that of naturally beautiful hair a la this hair-type pin up, Jennifer Aniston. “She’s never seen with a hair out of place,” says Joey, explaining: “She must have a good care regime to keep her hair in top condition.” This is where Sebastian’s Revitalised Weightless Shine pack comes in, made up of the featherlight, shine enhancing Light Shampoo and Conditioner as well as treatment styler, Potion 9 Lite.
“The nine botanical extracts from the original Potion 9 have been transformed into a lightweight spray that’s perfect for finer hair types. With added proteins to help reconstruct your hair from within, it adds body, thickness and root lift and also protects hair from heat styling damage.”
Bodify
“A key look that’s coming through in hair trends for next season is volume” Joey says. “Drew Barrymore’s been snapped with this look recently and it just looks awesome!” For incredible body, Sebastian offers you the High Impact Volume Meets Softness pack, with volume boosting Volupt Shampoo and Conditioner, plus the hair raising Volupt Spray.
“What makes Volupt different to traditional volumising products is that it gives a real softness to the hair – usually it would be a trade off to achieve such great body.” The micro-particle technology in Sebastian’s Volupt collection provides a volume boost without adding weight and keeping your hair completely soft to the touch.
Polish
A must have for the party season is hair that has a polished, sleek shine but, explains Joey: “This is something that can be hard to achieve on hair that’s not been kept healthy.” Jennifer Carpenter’s recent Emmys look almost outshone her dress – a simple style with extra gloss factor. Amp up your gloss factor with the Stress Free Shine pack; consisting of Penetraitt Shampoo and Conditioner plus the thermal protection and shimmer complex, Trilliant.
The active rescue system in Penetraitt completely reconditions even the most chemically treated hair, combining protein and moisture to give intensive repair. Trilliant uses a tri-layer formula for brilliant shine, body and heat protection. “It’s like a glossing spray, thermal shield and non-aerosol hairspray in one. It’s my number one shine enhancing product.”
So while Sebastian can’t tell you what dress to wear or whether those shoes will still be comfortable at 2am, we can tell you how to keep your hair in check – so at least you’ll have one less thing to worry about this party season!
