Q
How do you compare Sebastian Shine Crafter to the Gel Forte? Is there any other product you recommend since I am unable to find the Shine Crafter.?
Asked by Pat
Official Answer By Sebastian
Shine Crafter gives flexible texture with workable with shine. Gel Forte is strong hair gel enables the creation of any shape, while retaining impressive flexibility and shimmering hold. The Gel forte may give you too strong of a hold. We recommend Sebastian Microweb Fiber as a comparable product. This re-moldable, supple texturizer creates silky definition and weaves a weightless 3D Microweb into the hair. Sebastian professional styler with silky fibers will give flexible hair texture and touchable movement to the hair.Was this answer helpful to you

Q
For years I used a product called Sebastian Grease. Loved it... I finished the last of the jar (it lasted a very long time!) and now I do not see that it is available. Would this product be anything like Grease?

I have been using this for years!

I use this to help my fine hair hold the lift I get from using a round brush and hair dryer. Without it my hair goes flat and fly away. It leaves my hair soft. The product has no odor. I use Sebastian's hair spray also. I had a stylist who used to sell this line. She got me started on it. Hav...

Well, beautiful. I have strong curls, that can not be straightened very well. This has worked well. Good scent. I use Seb Man mainly - which is also a very good line for man - but also considered trying something more 'forte' even than the Hero to truly straighten and get the style. Good design, like the black aspect to it. Have not found anything like it yet. Good stuff.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I am giving Sebastian a 1 review not this product.I couldn't use it. As a stylist of 40 years I have developed a strong allergic reaction to any acrylates. I have to read ingredients on everything! The ingredient list on this site is completely different from the one in the bottle. It actually contains 3 different kinds of acrylates. I purchased it online and am now inconvenienced taking it back to a store.

This turned my hair white after a few hours and I only used about a quarter sized amount. Disappointing. They sure do charge big bucks for mediocre results
