Lizzie walks us through the inspiration behind the brand, their journey from towel to product range. The events that shaped them and we snag a scoop on their future.

Thanks for listening this series. We will be back in the spring with more scintillating discussion and tips on all things curly, wavy, and pushed.
(When we say "all things", it's not all things, it's actually hair. Just hair.)

We review Olaplex. Does it live up to the hype and what should we really give it out of 10?

In listeners’ questions, we discuss why it is, in fact, perfectly ok to brush your curly hair.

We finish with our one cool thing which might be related to curly hair, but almost certainly isn’t.

Today we discuss heat. Is curly/wavy hair forever condemned to being “air-dried” or is it in fact ok to use heat? If ok, then how hot is too hot? (Let’s be honest, the fact that we even discuss this part probably tells you what we think.)

We review the product Aveda Nutri-Plenish Leave-in Conditioner.

There are further listeners’ questions, where this week we tackle a biggy; the ubiquitous protein-moisture balance. What are they and is there even a balance?

This is all rounded-off with our one cool thing, which could be curly hair related, but probably won’t be.
