Hair By Sebastian Professional at the New York Fashion Week

We have featured face charts of models' makeup during the NY Fashion Week, but have you ever wondered who does all those amazing hairstyles? Inside scoop from Sebastian Professional will give us a lowdown on how cutting edge hair styles from the NY Fashion Week were created. I've known and liked Sebastian Professional's products since around nine years ago when I used their hair clay that sculpts hair and gives a piecy look with a matte texture that I love. Sebastian Professional's products were again at the forefront of fashion shows when they were used on the models' hair during the NY Fashion Week. Last month, the Sebastian Professional stylist team, under the leadership of the great Thomas Dunkin, created three amazing looks for the Catherine Holstein, Charlotte Ronson, and Diego Binetti shows for Fall ’09 Fashion Week in NYC. Five stylists were hand-picked by Sebastian for their ability to represent the brand and the designers’ inspirations. In this entry, we shall focus on the Charlotte Ronson Show.

CHARLOTTE RONSON FALL ’09 – February 13th

Hair by Sebastian Professional

Inspiration:

Charlotte Ronson’s Fall ’09 beauty look is inspired by the combination of bold, serious ‘40s glamour with a rocker femininity that speaks to the consistent playfulness of the designer.

The Hair Look:

To keep this severe ponytail from looking too harsh, Sebastian Professional lead stylist, Thomas Dunkin juxtaposed a taught sleekness over the crown of the head with a natural texture at the back half of the ponytail for an interesting exit. Thomas ironed the first third of hair pin straight and misted a shimmer complex over the top of the head to create a surface shine that dramatizes the smoothness of the hair. Once combed back to a taught ponytail, the hair on the top of the head was smoothed with a shine spray and ultra-firm holding spray to control the look.











How to Get the Look with Sebastian Professional:

Thomas Dunkin suggests layering shine stylers to maximize sleek
definition and finishing with a firm spray for controlled hold. Try:

Trilliant – Thermal protectant and shimmer complex to add
ultra-light body and a shiny finish ($19.95)
Halo Mist – UV filter weightless shine spray ($16.95)
Shine Define – The ultimate versatile hairspray ($15.95)
Shaper Fierce – Ultra-firm finishing hairspray ($16.95)
