Ep 64: Sharing Your First Period Stories (And Summer Haircare Hacks)

33 min • 13 december 2020

We're back for another episode of Beauty IQ Uncensored, brought to you by Adore Beauty.

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked...

First Periods

Our cringey convo is all about normalising conversations between women, and first periods is pretty much at the top of the list. Why did we find this time so shameful? What was embarrassing about it? In fairness, some of you did share some pretty traumatic first period stories, and if you thought you'd shat yourself, you're not alone.

Thanks to the audience members who opened themselves up to share these vulnerable stories with us, we really love this community!

Summer Haircare

Monique McMahon from QUE Colour in Sydney joins us to chat about what exactly happens to our hair in the summer, and what we can do about it.

Hannah learns one of her own personal Hagrid hair hacks isn't so bad at all, and it gets the tick of approval from Mon herself.

The products mentioned in this episode include:

Jo's favourite heat protectant, Pureology Colour Fanatic
