MANILA, Philippines - Everyone deserves beautiful hair. Sunsilk believes that the secrets to beautiful hair shouldn’t be locked behind the salon door.

Sunsilk started a search for these hair specialists, the world’s best at what they do — be it color, curls, straight, sleekness, volume, hair fall or damage control. Experts who are obsessive industry pioneers who don’t sleep until their clients achieve perfect hair.

Sunsilk is now co-creating product ranges with seven of the world’s best hair experts whose roles are to “steer” and “stir” — providing valuable insight and knowledge to help create brilliant new products, working alongside the technical teams to produce brilliant new formulations for all hair types.

Sunsilk global VP Dean Aragon explains, “Through this unique way of working, Sunsilk brings to millions what was previously available only to the privileged few frequenting the world’s most exclusive salons — international hair expertise and perfectionism in every bottle. Sunsilk aims to provide access to international hair professionals to every girl around the world so she can create salon-quality looks at home. And this is just the beginning. We’re just at the start of an exciting co-creation journey.”
