Artistic Team Makes Runway Waves in the Name of Fashion and Shares their Tips and Techniques with You!
Amidst the flashing bulbs, celebrity-flanked catwalks and fashion frivolity, Sebastian International sashayed into the Big Apple, partnering with People's Revolution to sponsor a collection of celebrated international designers — including Jeremy Scott, Costello Tagliapietra, Zaldy and Alexandre Herchcovitch — presenting their Spring ‘06 collections during New York Fashion Week from September 9-16, 2005.

Rachel Comey
Hair Look: Saturate hair with Sebastian Originals Shpritz Forte and blow-dry to create fly-away texture. Divide hair into two large sections (one on each side of head) and twist under and back in a large roll, with ends meeting at back of head in an offset flower-shaped chignon. Use Sebastian Originals Shaper Hair Spray at the end to support the fly-aways.

Atil Kutoglu
Hair Look: Hair needs a slightly frizzy texture. If hair is naturally wavy, it should first be brushed out with Sebastian Originals Shaper Hair Spray . If it is straight, hair should be backcombed using Sebastian Originals Shaper Hair Spray and then straightened with a hot iron and brushed out to achieve the desired texture. Hair is pulled back into a half up-do, allowing pieces to fall around the face. Remaining hair pulled back into a low ponytail, with pieces falling down at random. Pinned hair in erratic places to create ridges in texture. Finished with Sebastian Originals Zero g Hair Spray.

Costello Tagliapietra
Hair Look: Dry hair is set using Sebastian Originals Sphritz Forte Hair Spray, a round brush and a blow dryer to give it a dry, tactile texture. Using hands, hair is twisted into two smaller sections on either side of the head and one larger on top of the head, creating an uneven silhouette. Hair is then gathered at the back and pinned into a low, off-center bun. Hair surrounding the face was softly peeled back to create a wispy, whimsical look and set with Sebastian Originals Zero g Hair Spray and a blow dryer.

A La Disposition
Hair Look: Two different finished looks. First, section hair into horizontal panels. Back-comb each section; spray with Sebastian Originals Zero g Hair Spray ; flat-iron and then brush out. Result is a frizzy, dry, soft texture.
Look #1: Part hair from ear to ear into two halves. Pull bottom section back into high, tight bun. The front section should be brushed forward and rolled back to form an uneven Victorian roll of folded-over fringe; secured with pins. Finish look with Sebastian Originals Shaper Zero g Hair Spray.
Look #2: Part hair from ear to ear; pull bottom section back into tight, high, off-center bun. Split the sides into three sub-sections. First section to be backcombed from roots to end. Second section to be backcombed an inch away from the root. Took small 1 inch curling iron and created a wave pattern in concave and convex waves. Top section is backcombed 2 inches from the root. Use same technique with iron to make the wave. Brush out and break up two sections and slightly pin several pieces back into the bun. Finish with Sebastian Originals Shaper Zerog Hair Spray.
