It’s what Kim Kardashian has been using to keep her bleach blonde mane smooth and shiny, so what makes the K18 hair mask so #DamnGood? Co-founders and husband-and-wife duo Suveen Sahib and Britta Cox are here to reveal the secrets behind the TikTok-approved K18 hair mask that’s like “silk-in-a-bottle.”  

 

In today’s episode we find out:

 

• What K18 is, how it works and why the technology is like “Retinol for your hair.”
• What makes K18 different from other bond builders like Olaplex
• How to work K18 into your haircare routine, including for curly hair types
• Why some users may not be getting all of the benefits of K18 (hint - it could be your shampoo!)
• How the quick-drying, anti-breakage Aquis hair towel is linked to the science behind K18
• What the founders have up their sleeve next
  
  

*Exciting news - we’re doing a giveaway of K18. Follow us on TikTok an Instagram where we will reveal more details soon!

In 2020, Hyram Yarbro earned upwards of 6 million TikTok followers in just four months. His brutally honest brand reviews, skin transformation reaction videos and budget skincare recommendations earned him the title of “The Gen-Z Whisperer” by The New York Times. Two years later, and Skincare By Hyram is back to chat about the lessons he’s learned as he’s shifted from content creator to brand founder – and where the beauty influencer economy is going next.

In today’s episode you’ll find out:

• How he reflects on those “brutally honest product reviews” now.

 

• What he’d do differently if he were to go back and recreate his skincare line today.

• Whether some viral TikTok product recommendations are legit – or paid for.

 

• His real thoughts on “jelly skin.”
• What is “vabbing”? The fragrance trend you’ll wish you never heard of.
• Which budget skincare brand he believes will pop off just in time for back-to-school (hint: we never heard of it.)
• The skincare serum that he and Hailey Bieber bonded over. 
• The #1 practice he’s adopted to help survive burnout.
• Where the future of social media is going – beyond TikTok.

Plus, tune into Hyram’s podcast Justaposition, *tomorrow*, where we’ll be the featured guests! We get candid about what it’s like to work on our own podcast versus our Devil Wears Prada days working at fashion magazines, how we deal with negative reviews along with our latest favorite beauty products that may or may not include a foot foam for unsightly heel cracks (did we mention we’re getting real real?!) Don’t forget to follow, rate and review both shows!!

In partnership with Nutrafol, we’re hitting reset on our fall hair routine to help unlock our fullest, bounciest strands ever. Joining us to help untangle the do’s and don’ts of healthy hair are Dr. Chesahna Kindred, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Kindred Hair & Skin Center in Columbia, Maryland, along with Sam Archer, VP of Product Marketing & Innovation at Nutrafol – and the mastermind behind their clinically-tested supplements and brand new scalp microbiome haircare collection.

 

Listen in to learn the 10 healthy hair habits most recommended by Pros:

 

Balanced Diet: foods that lean into healthy hair, and why vegans could be most at risk for hair thinning.

Vitamins & Supplements: why targeted ingredients aren’t a silver bullet solution to combat hair loss, and what to invest in instead.

Shower Power: whether you *really* need to buy that hard water filter you saw on TikTok.

Shampoo 101: why protecting your microbiome is goal #1, whether co-washing may be harmful for hair growth and the one ingredient you should absolutely avoid on a label.

Scalp Toning: the rise of hair essences and who benefits from this skincare-inspired step.

Scalp Exfoliating: how often should you go the extra mile.

Hair Slugging: why a decades-old hack still holds up today.

Home Remedies: fermented rice water vs. apple cider vinegar – the reason only one of these TikTok trends is worth your time.

Hair Brushing: why the age-old “100 strokes” adage leads to more breakage than shine.

Get Support: the telltale signs that your hair thinning is beyond normal, when to seek professional help and how to find a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss.

Ever wonder how to find your perfect nude? LA-born, South Asian sisters Aleena, Aleezeh and Naseeha Khan struggled to find the one nude lipstick to suit their skin tones, and set about doing something about it. In 2019, the power siblings launched CTZN Cosmetics, a gender-fluid, “nudes for all” lipstick range that launched on the brink of the pandemic. Three years of mask-wearing later, and CTZN is blowing up, as seen on Lizzo, Sza and Hilary Duff. And they’re only just getting started.

 

In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the exact moment that CTZN Cosmetics went viral on TikTok, crashing their website and changing the young entrepreneurs’ lives forever. Plus, the Khans spill the tea on their latest baller move: signing on Beyoncés long-time makeup artist Sir John as newly appointed Chief Creative Officer and investor. Discover what comes next for the fire indie brand, along with their #1 rule for finding your own ride-or-die shade.

With 2.8 billion #PerfumeTikTok views and counting, we’re reviewing the hottest fragrances right now alongside Emma Vernon, host of The Perfume Room podcast. Emma is a comic and former matchmaker-turned-fragrance expert who’s been featured in The New York Times, New York Post and InStyle. Today, she’s bringing her encyclopedic fragrance knowledge to help assess which viral perfumes are legitimately #DamnGood – and which ones smell like burnt tires and cotton candy.

 

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s ubiquitous Baccarat Rouge 540 to Ariana Grande’s Cloud to the influencer scent that spurred a 100,000 person waitlist and the one department store scent she believes is worth the hype, Emma isn’t pulling any perfume punches. Plus, Emma reveals her fave budget-friendly find (pssst, now back in stock!), the BIPOC-owned fragrances you need on your radar and the modern bridal scent you did not see coming.

 

*Be sure to catch us over on Perfume Room podcast this week, where we reveal the top fragrances that beauty editors hoard, our personal holy grails, our wildest press trips ever and more of our scent diary secrets.*

When was the first time you realized that you need to wear SPF not just during the summer, but every damn day of the year? For elementary school teacher Holly Thaggard, it was a lightbulb moment that occurred after a close friend was struck with skin cancer in 2005, and the start of an entrepreneurial career that would lead to her lifelong dedication to suncare advocacy in schools – and the birth of Supergoop!, now a staple in many a glowy girl’s skincare routine.

 

In today’s episode, you’ll find out how the industry’s biggest sunscreen darling changed the game completely, introducing the idea of a “sunscreen wardrobe” that now offers over 40 different ways to apply every single day (PS - three units of Supergoop!’s iconic Unseen Sunscreen now sell every single minute). You’ll hear why turning down Sephora was the key to becoming one of their best-sellers. Plus, Holly gives us an easy-to-understand explainer on everything you want to know about sunscreen now, like:

 

• What’s behind the rise in combination sunscreens that combine both chemical and mineral filters
• What a PA+ rating means on a label and why it’s important
• Whether your car window is actually protecting you from UV rays
• The fastest-growing area of the body where doctors are spotting skin cancer amongst women today
• How to negotiate the vitamin D vs sunscreen debate in real life
• Why you still need to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, no matter how high the SPF factor is
• Her personal SPF layering technique – including how to reapply over makeup throughout the day

Dieux Skin co-founder Charlotte Palermino is TikTok’s self-described “skincare fairy godmother” and now, newly-minted licensed esthetician. Today, Charlotte joins us live in the studio to spill her beyond-slugging skincare secrets. We find out the exact skincare that she actually buys for herself - including the SPF holy grails that has her always carrying a backup tube on hand. Plus, Charlotte explains how she overcame perioral dermatitis, and the exact moment that she swore off clean beauty for good. 

 

But first, we’re getting Charlotte’s hot takes – like her first impressions on Rhode Skin, Hailey Bieber’s new skincare range, that she was  *personally* sent in advance of its debut this week. 

 

Then, Charlotte sounds off on the latest SPF drama around benzene and what’s really damaging coral reefs. Stay tuned until the end to find out Charlotte’s predictions of the next #SkinTok trends, including the latest creator she thinks we should all be following on TikTok now. And finally, which viral skincare product will she launch from Dieux Skin next? We’ve got the scoop.
