What Do You Mean You Don't Brush It?

We’re talking perms. Our special guest, content creator Alina A walks us through her own perm journey and sheds light on the dos and don’ts of chemical curls.
We also find out at what age Dylan first had a perm.
We review Tigi Curls Rock Amplifier.
First-time listener, long-time caller asks, “Any tips for little ones?”
And in Stuff, Lauren discusses bottomless food.

"Why is it so many salons don't seem to get curly hair?":

The question Lauren & Dylan are so often asked, and finally feel brave enough to get into.

We review the product: Pantene Pro V Perfect Waves Nourishing Mousse.

Our first-time listener, long-time caller wishes to know: "If hair is lacking in curl or wave, should it be cut shorter?"

Lauren brings a spot of culture to Stuff, while Dylan is back to banging on about his micro-biomes.

We're back, the first episode of series 2 sees Lauren and Dylan investigating the world of curly hair gatekeeping, specifically: Is wavy hair curly, or is it just wavy?
Listeners' questions are renamed: First-time listener, long-time caller.
We review the cult hair product Umberto Giannini 's Curl Jelly.
And as if that's not enough we have the section, Stuff.
Also, listen as Dylan breathes too close to the microphone for great swathes of the episode.

In this, the season finale, Lauren and Dylan chew the fat with Only Curls co-founder, Lizzie Carter.
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.) 

A short episode on diffusing - that's right.

This week Lauren and Dylan address the haircut phenomenon of curl shock. Is this a real thing or is it just b**ls**t? 
We also compile the beginner's kit for anybody starting their curly hair journey. 
We review the product Davines Curl Building Serum (well, at least Lauren does). She then rolls her eyes at Dylan's one cool thing.

This week, Dylan and Lauren weigh in on the great wet vs dry curly hair-cutting debate. We discuss The Curly Person Method (CPM) approach to cutting and ask whether curly hair always falls into the same curl pattern.

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.

Join us as Lauren and Dylan dive deeper into The Curly Person Method (CPM).

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.

Heard of The Curly Girl Method? Don’t really know what it is? That’s fine! In this, the very first episode of the hit podcast "What D’you Mean You Don’t Brush It?", Lauren and Dylan introduce you to the Curly Girl Method, and then rename it; The Curly Person Method (CPM)
CPM- The three big rules: what are they, and (importantly) do they make sense?
We talk sulphates and silicones; do you know what they do?
There’s a product review of Curlsmith, Curl Defining Styling Souffle (say that drunk).
Listeners questions answered including, how do you get volume at the roots?
And stay tuned to hear Dylan repeatedly mispronounce the title of Susannah Clarke’s novel Piranesi.
