Sebastian Whipped Hair Crème

$22, Sebastian

We know, we’ve heard the rumours. And we’ve also witnessed the crisp, starched and stiff looks that held the locks of Flock of Seagulls, David Bowie and Duran Duran into place. That was the ’80s, when mousses received a bit of a bad-boy rap. But times and hair-styling products have changed. Now, you can safely wipe those images from your mind and apply a healthy dollop of Sebastian Whipped Crème into your damp hair before turning on the diffuser. Neither sticky, nor crunchy, this mousse is pure crème. And as the brand’s professional stylists will claim, it’s all because the product’s protein-rich and ultra-lightweight whipped formula was specifically created to lift and nourish your waves and curls into a well-conditioned and bouncy style.
