In the United States in the 70s of the 20th century, rock music and disco were popular, and people emancipated themselves and showed off their individuality. Sebastian was born in this context, which is in line with people's pursuit of individuality. Sebastian invented the world's first curling iron, the first true styling spray hairspray and the first styling treatment. Today, under Procter & Gamble, Sebastian is a true ace in the world of hair styling, loved by Hollywood stars and international fashion week stylists.
Styling gels mainly use film formers as the main setting force, and the polymer components in them can form a thin film on the hair strands, and after drying, they can support the hair strands, and different polymers have different moisture resistance, holding power, and affinity. Sebastin's styling gel is based on PVP and VA/VP copolymers, which are the same compositions, and VA/VP is a water-soluble polymer of PVP with better moisture resistance. Sebastin's gels are formulated by blending these copolymers with polymers, moisturizers, and alcohol-free ingredients for both styling and conditioning.
Represented by a strong gel, the strong style is top-notch in terms of hold and durability, and the hair is hard after drying, and the hair is pearlescent and shiny without looking greasy. VP/VA and acrylic copolymers are well combined, resulting in improved durability and moisture resistance, often throughout the day. Even post-workout hairstyles retain a certain stiffness without being too flat.
Gel Frote polymer has a lower content than Gel Gel and is slightly less hard and durable, and the greatly increased sorbitol content makes it more moisturizing and glossy. Gel Frote costs about 110 yuan per 200g, which is cheaper than Gel Frote.
The Soft Styling Gel and Texturizer Gel are more focused on hair care. The Soft Styling Gel, also known as Gel No. 9, is one of Sebastian's signature products. Rather than a styling product, the Soft Styling Gel is more like a care product. The gel contains hydrolyzed wheat, hydrolyzed silk and other ingredients, which has an excellent moisturizing effect, and at the same time, it has a styling effect that hair care essential oils do not have, and can smooth frizz, which is very suitable for women with long hair. The price of 150ml is more than 200 yuan, and you can buy a 50ml small bottle to try.
If you want to get a better grip, you can use Gel No. 9 with Gel Frote to enhance your styling power. Or opt for the Texturizer Gel. Both Texturizer Gel and Gentle Gel use PVP as the polymer, but Texturizer Gel has a higher content and has a better set than Gel 9. PVP is less moisture resistant than VP/VA copolymers, and if the environment is humid, it will reduce the durability of the setting. The price of Texturizer Gel is similar to that of No. 9 gel.
It is worth mentioning that the emphasis on sunscreen for hair is also a feature that distinguishes European and American high-end styling products from domestic brands. Rigid Gel uses PEG-25 PABA and benzyl salicylate for better sun protection. Other gels within the brand use ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, which is also a widely used sunscreen and is less irritating to the skin than benzyl salicylate. Both PEG-25 PABA and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate are relatively easily absorbed into the skin, and the US FDA requires that the amount of PEG-25 PABA in sunscreen should not exceed 10%, and the amount in gel is relatively safe.
Gel Gel and Gel Gel are available in China, while the other two gels need to be purchased on behalf of you.
