Sebastian Professional What’s Next Awards Finalists Announced

Sebastian Professional’s WHAT’S NEXT AWARDS is the premiere hair styling competition for Student and Professional talent who dare to take their creativity to the next level. Each year Sebastian Professional releases a hair collection to inspire 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.
