It’s event season again! Sebastian Professional kicks off the new year of the What’s Next Awards, challenging students and professionals who dare to take their creativity to the stage in order to reach the next level in their careers!
Each year Sebastian Professional releases a hair collection that inspires contestant’s hair style entries. This year the collection is Metamorphik. Metamorphik is a collection that was inspired by nature at its most creative; it represents unexpected extremes, consisting of two powerful but opposing raw elements, volcanic ash and carnauba wax. Metamorphik ignites the power of self-expression allowing artist to change the state of hair and unlock new possibilities for artistry.
