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 SebastianShine 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

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...

I don't know what you did to your gel, but the "new" version is dollar store garbage. I have been using gel forte since it came out and the reason it was the best gel made was that you could work it in use a hairdrier and brush and style as needed. This version, and it is a different version (I have both tubes still), is like using a tube of super glue. As soon as you put a hairdrier to it, it turns to cement. Try using a styling brush and you will break off and damage your hair. I thought that maybe you had 2 versions. One for salons and one for general stores, but the ingredients listed on your site are for the dollar store version. I am now stuck with 3 tubes of disgust, trying to find the original. (it has 1 symbol on the back below ingredients not 2 (the extra triangle). Now I have to find another gel that does what yours used to. I would suggest you locate the person that okayed this change and send them the way of the guy who thought it was a good idea to change Coke.

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.

Ingredient list wrong

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.
returning this product
Made my hair stiff and hard to get brush through. Did not hold style. Returning this product. Will try the mousse forte.
