The Sebastian Professional team, headed by Thomas Dunkin, were backstage at Marie Cornejo creating a look that was both effortless and chic. “For both the men’s and women’s collections, I was exploring the structure of perfectly crafted tailoring, but I wanted to remake the rules and push things off balance. In my life there is always a collision of cultures born of my experiences growing up in England yet staying emotionally rooted in the freedom and warmth of Latin America.” – Maria Cornejo

For a windblown, cowgirl look that’s playful and sexy, Sebastian Professional lead stylist Thomas Dunkin suggests the following steps:

1. Generously spray Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray throughout damp hair for workable volume and texture.
2. Blow dry hair and set it with medium and large-sized Velcro rollers for height and body.
3. Once the hair has cooled, remove the rollers and lightly cover hair with Shaper Zero Gravity to create added texture and separation.

I can’t say I saw this lasting too long either, but it comes as a bit of a shock that Miss. Kennedy was dropped as the face of Sebastian. Her replacement? Charlotte Ronson (not that much better). I guess it kind of makes sense to drop her, I mean she was the spokes person for a hair care company, yet she doesn’t take care of her hair. It’s okay Cory you’re young. Just because Sebastian didn’t like your head, doesn’t mean other 30+ year old men (like your ex-boyfriend) won’t pay good money for it.

When we first saw these pictures of Cory Kennedy actually looking good, we were a bit skeptical as to whether the new Sebastian products she was supporting in the ads worked well or they just made her wear a wig. We were so curious we had to test them out. The people at Sebastian Professional were nice enough to send us some of the products from the line that Cory Kennedy sported, and we must say they do live up to their expectations. While Rebecca rocked the Whipped Créme product, I tested out the shampoo and conditioner. When we came to work the next day we were in a solid consensus that these products rocked. Rebecca was pleased with the amazing volume it gave her hair (she even used it for her wedding!), while I was pleased with how clean my abused long hair felt. I am now in no doubt that that was indeed Cory’s hair, and that these products were the receipe for her hair succuess (lets hope she’s still using them).
