Q:
Which shampoo/conditioner has more moisturizer the "drench" or "penetraitte" ???Asked on 6/4/2017 by Kitty from Woburn ma1 answer
A:
Both products address moisture issues, however, Sebastian Penetrate contains protein which will take care of weak tresses by strengthening the hair shaft with protein and moisture. If your hair is extremely thirsty and not lacking any strength issues, I would use Sebastian Drench, this product addresses thirsty hair with only moisturizing emollients.Answered on 6/5/2017 by Staff Expert from Ulta Beauty
Q:
I have very long , dry, color treated hair and a dry scalp. My hair is about 85% gray and that has changed the texture somewhat and I also have thyroid disease that causes dry hair and scalp and also causes my hair to shed very badly when I wash & condition it! I try to keep it nourished and healthy by brushing it often and using argon oil on the ends and it helps so much. Which of the two shampoo/conditioner systems would you recommend for me? The "Drench" or the "Penetrait"? Any help would be so appreciated!Asked on 4/16/2017 by Mickie from Newton, New Jersey1 answer
A:
We suggest the Drench Shampoo, which is a shampoo that is specifically targeted to treat thirsty hair. Penetraitt is specifically formulated with protein and moisture, which is better for those with limp hair. The protein causes the hair to swell which can cause a bit too much for those who have overly thirsty hair.Answered on 4/25/2017 by Staff Expert from Ulta Beauty
Q:
I have dry, colored hair with split ends, and it's very fine. Which of these shampoos would be best for me?Asked on 3/23/2017 by Keeping it lively from Collierville, TN1 answer
A:
Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo is color-safe and a great choice to help repair hair from damage caused by heat styling or chemical treatments. We would definitely recommend it for you!Answered on 4/6/2017 by Staff Expert from Ulta Beauty
Q:
I just dyed my hair a wine color a week ago. Is this safe to usr on my hair without it dulling the color?Asked on 11/19/2016 by bri from cali1 answer
A:

Is this product sulfate freeAsked on 8/11/2014 by sandra from United States1 answer
A:

Q:
Is this product wheat and gluten free?Asked on 7/11/2014 by Squirrel from Central Point Oregon1 answer
A:
From Sebastian:
"We do not intentionally add Gluten to our cosmetic products.
"Cosmetic products can feature a variety of ingredients extracted from grains. As Gluten too is a grain derived ingredient, it cannot be excluded that trace amounts of Gluten may come along with common raw material supplies.
"It is generally believed that Gluten needs to be ingested to produce sensitivity and therefore use of hair and skin products is not likely to trigger a reaction. However, the degree of sensitivity varies from person to person; we highly recommend that you consult with your physician before using any products.
"We also refer you to online websites such as celiac.com or celiac.org for further information. One of the questions asked on the website celiac.com is 'Can products which contain gluten but only touch the skin affect celiacs?' and the response is 'Very few celiacs are likely to have any reaction to topical gluten contact. In order for a gut reaction to occur, it is likely that direct contact with the gut lumen is required. Many people with celiac disease have everyday contact with gluten (for instance, bakers with CD who have contact everyday with wheat flour), and do not have any reaction to it. However, there are, on rare occasion, people who have had an anaphylactoid response to gluten, and these people should avoid gluten in all forms. Also, topical gluten breathed into the upper airways may cause symptoms of allergic rhinitis in rare instances. If there is a simple alternative to a shampoo, cosmetic, etc., you may want to use the non gluten containing product.'"Answered on 7/16/2014 by Staff Expert from ULTA.com
