Colombo, 24th November 2009: With typical creative flair the annual hair show by graduates of the Ramani Fernando Sunsilk Hair Academy was magnificent and had the audience awe inspired. The power of Sunsilk, Unilever’s flagship hair care brand was evident in the complete collection of colour, cut and styling looks as the graduating students toiled to create masterpieces out of hair. Hair Art 2009 expertly produced by creative show produces Senaka De Silva, concluded by setting trends in cuts and textures for the coming year.

Strongly supported by Sunsilk, the graduation hair show, an annual event was intended to show the public the mettle of the students at the end of their course year. Graduating students who are trained stylists transformed the tresses of over 100 hand picked models, creating a stunning show while gaining the necessary exposure to venture into a career in hairdressing.

“This is the Sunsilk philosophy”, articulated Dilini Dahanayake, Unilever’s brand manager for Sunsilk. “The brand is all about empowering young people to take control of their lives and make things happen through opportunities afforded to them”, she explained. Sunsilk through its ‘Life can’t wait’ proposition is fully involved with the academy which has provided us an ideal platform from which to gear many young entrepreneurs with the required skills.

Of the 104 graduating students, 32 are Sunsilk scholarship students, picked from the many Sunsilk workshops held in various parts of Sri Lanka. Students trained in skills are equipped with the knowledge that hair is not just an accessory but embodies its own trends.
