WEBVTT - Hair Extensions (and Hotel Room Raccoons) 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:04.200 A listener production. 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:15.040 Only do what we wanna know. Ish. Where do you 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.400 wanna go? Where do you wanna go? 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:20.840 Hi, everyone. 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.520 Hey, everyone. Bec and Jess here. Welcome to vanish. Welcome. 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.800 And we are doing this amazing podcast talking about everything vain. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.319 Because at the end of the day, we want to 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.120 look and feel great. So we're a bit vain ish. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.040 Yeah, not completely vain, a little vain, and. Yeah. And 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.320 I feel like there's such a stigma about wanting to hide. 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.160 That you actually want to look and feel good. We're 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.240 made to feel like it's really frowned upon, but everyone 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.720 does it. Whether you color your hair, whether you shave 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.040 your legs, whether you pluck out your grays, you put 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.480 makeup on, it's all to look and feel better. So 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.460 let's just embrace it because it is what it is. 0:01:01.500 --> 0:01:03.700 Let's live in the real world and not this world 0:01:03.700 --> 0:01:07.020 where we have to hide who we actually are and say, 0:01:07.060 --> 0:01:09.340 oh yeah, no, I'm completely comfortable with. 0:01:09.540 --> 0:01:10.940 How I look and all that. Because at the end 0:01:10.940 --> 0:01:13.460 of the day, we didn't wake up like this. 0:01:13.500 --> 0:01:15.980 We did not wake up like this. 0:01:15.980 --> 0:01:17.940 We didn't. And most people don't. 0:01:17.980 --> 0:01:21.940 I didn't wake up smelling like this because I am 0:01:21.940 --> 0:01:23.900 wearing your singlet. 0:01:23.940 --> 0:01:24.740 Yes you are. 0:01:24.860 --> 0:01:27.740 And it smells like your house. So when I walk 0:01:27.740 --> 0:01:31.500 into your house, there's this specific smell. And it is 0:01:31.500 --> 0:01:32.980 your washing detergent. 0:01:33.180 --> 0:01:35.500 Oh, yes. Because you have a weird thing about washing detergent. 0:01:35.540 --> 0:01:38.179 No, but your whole house smells like washing detergent because 0:01:38.180 --> 0:01:39.380 you're a crazy laundry lady. 0:01:39.420 --> 0:01:42.500 I am, and I always put my clothes on the 0:01:42.500 --> 0:01:44.820 line inside and not out, because I don't want the 0:01:44.819 --> 0:01:48.780 smell of air to infiltrate into my clothes. 0:01:48.820 --> 0:01:51.740 What's your aversion with the smell of air, anyway? And sorry, 0:01:51.780 --> 0:01:54.060 what is the smell of air? 0:01:54.100 --> 0:01:57.620 It just smells like nothing. The big thing for me 0:01:57.620 --> 0:02:00.800 is like in your hair. Your hair just smells like 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.000 hair and there's just no fragrance in it like that 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.760 just makes me. I get the biggest ick from it. Yeah. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.119 And it really sets the tone of my day. Like, 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.919 if someone has stinky hair, I'm done. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.040 Or stinky breath. You've come to me before and you're 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.720 in a foul mood. And I said, what, babe? You 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.400 didn't get your coffee. You're like, no, such and such 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.200 came in and breathed on me. They had bad breath 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.160 and it's triggered me. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.040 Triggered me, and I'm done. Like, I almost need to 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.160 go back to bed, have a nap and reset and 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.840 wake up. So I don't know if it's because diagnosed 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.520 with ADHD, your senses are in hearing and smell is 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.640 a huge thing. Yeah, so it really sets my tone 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.799 of my day. So smells is just my. Yeah. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.840 Do you know what helps with bad breath in our family? 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.960 One of my kids went and for medical reasons he 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.480 had he had the worst breath. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:50.920 Right. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.520 As soon as he came out. You know, like that 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.480 little newborn vanilla breath. This kid didn't have it right. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.679 It was foul from the beginning. He ended up getting 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.540 his tonsils taken out and now his breath. He could 0:03:01.580 --> 0:03:05.060 breathe on me all day. It is so good. It's sweet. 0:03:05.060 --> 0:03:06.019 Like ice cream. 0:03:06.060 --> 0:03:08.660 Oh, I love that. Yeah. I'm gonna go smell his breath. 0:03:08.900 --> 0:03:09.180 Yeah. 0:03:09.500 --> 0:03:09.700 Do you. 0:03:09.700 --> 0:03:11.020 Know what? It's me. 0:03:11.139 --> 0:03:11.619 What? 0:03:11.660 --> 0:03:14.019 That dirty, oily hair smell. 0:03:14.740 --> 0:03:16.660 So I feel like that smells a bit airy. 0:03:16.820 --> 0:03:18.220 No, it smells oily. 0:03:18.220 --> 0:03:18.900 Oh, really? 0:03:18.900 --> 0:03:21.220 Yeah. And salty. Oh, this is another one. 0:03:21.260 --> 0:03:22.859 Oh, my God, what else is there? 0:03:22.900 --> 0:03:26.260 That or I would say, do you know what? This 0:03:26.260 --> 0:03:31.060 is random. I love the smell of portrait of a lady. 0:03:31.380 --> 0:03:34.900 You know that fragrance? It's really bougie. It's bloody expensive. 0:03:34.940 --> 0:03:38.020 You get it from Mecca. And whenever anyone walks past 0:03:38.020 --> 0:03:40.940 me with this smell, I love it. But when I 0:03:40.980 --> 0:03:44.820 wear it on myself, it gives me a headache and 0:03:44.820 --> 0:03:47.740 it makes me nauseous. Really? I have to have a 0:03:47.740 --> 0:03:49.660 shower and scrub it off. Really? Yeah. 0:03:49.700 --> 0:03:50.860 But you like it on somebody else. 0:03:50.860 --> 0:03:52.580 But on everyone else. Have you ever had that with 0:03:52.580 --> 0:03:54.500 a fragrance where it smells good on everyone, and then 0:03:54.500 --> 0:03:55.700 you put it on and it's rank? 0:03:55.740 --> 0:03:56.100 Yeah. 0:03:56.140 --> 0:03:59.260 Yep. What are your other ex and aversions. And they 0:03:59.260 --> 0:04:00.730 don't have to be smells. 0:04:00.730 --> 0:04:03.890 I think a big ick for me is and it 0:04:03.930 --> 0:04:06.090 is back to a smell. Thing is, when the kids 0:04:06.090 --> 0:04:08.570 get in the car after a day at school, there's 0:04:08.610 --> 0:04:12.650 like this stale fart that's in their clothes. I don't know. 0:04:12.690 --> 0:04:15.690 And you go into the classrooms and they smell this. 0:04:16.570 --> 0:04:19.610 It's a stench, but it's a feeling. Yeah, it's warm 0:04:19.610 --> 0:04:21.290 and moist. Do you know what it is? 0:04:21.330 --> 0:04:22.650 Stale farts. No. 0:04:23.050 --> 0:04:25.450 It's puppies. They smell like puppies. 0:04:25.490 --> 0:04:26.570 Yes. Oh! 0:04:26.730 --> 0:04:27.050 Ah! 0:04:27.290 --> 0:04:28.850 So then I get my kids in the car. The 0:04:28.850 --> 0:04:31.850 windows are down. I'm so triggered by it. Then I 0:04:31.890 --> 0:04:33.770 get inside the house and I make them take all 0:04:33.810 --> 0:04:36.250 their uniform off before they sit on the couch. It's 0:04:36.250 --> 0:04:40.090 all washed, so I'm constantly doing washing because my kids 0:04:40.130 --> 0:04:43.050 are literally wearing the school uniform. One day I will 0:04:43.050 --> 0:04:44.690 not have them wearing it in the second day. 0:04:44.730 --> 0:04:47.289 No, but your kids wouldn't do that anyway. Your son 0:04:47.290 --> 0:04:52.729 is the cleanest, most incredible little hygienic kid I've ever met. 0:04:52.730 --> 0:04:55.370 I wish my kids were more like him. He walks 0:04:55.370 --> 0:04:57.930 in from school and he goes straight to the shower. 0:04:57.970 --> 0:05:00.349 Straight to the shower. He's going to make his wife 0:05:00.350 --> 0:05:03.270 so happy. I've trained him well, so well. So going 0:05:03.270 --> 0:05:05.870 about like my thing of ex of smell and everything. 0:05:05.910 --> 0:05:07.590 And mine is a big thing, is hair. 0:05:07.630 --> 0:05:10.150 Yeah, hair is icky. It's icky. You know, when you're 0:05:10.150 --> 0:05:12.110 walking behind someone and they haven't washed their hair and 0:05:12.110 --> 0:05:13.710 it's all separated? Oh. 0:05:14.270 --> 0:05:17.670 Gross, gross gross gross. I have to say, the funniest 0:05:17.670 --> 0:05:20.390 thing I've ever experienced with you was when we were 0:05:20.390 --> 0:05:24.710 in New York, um, not long ago. And I walked 0:05:24.710 --> 0:05:28.230 into the apartment and I'm like, we're very clean humans, 0:05:28.830 --> 0:05:32.029 but we are together when we travel. The biggest trash bags. 0:05:32.029 --> 0:05:32.790 Without kids. 0:05:32.790 --> 0:05:35.470 Without kids. Like we are messier than our children. 0:05:35.550 --> 0:05:38.430 Freedom. Yes. And we can get away with it because 0:05:38.430 --> 0:05:41.150 the kids aren't there going, oh my God, mom, look 0:05:41.150 --> 0:05:43.750 how messy you're being. Because there's no one judging us. 0:05:43.790 --> 0:05:44.510 No one's judging us. 0:05:44.589 --> 0:05:46.789 Go crazy. Yeah, it's so liberating. 0:05:46.910 --> 0:05:49.670 So liberating just to be kids again and just trash 0:05:49.710 --> 0:05:53.029 a room. So. Yeah. So we were getting ready. We 0:05:53.029 --> 0:05:55.230 went out. We went out all night or whatever. We 0:05:55.270 --> 0:05:58.510 came home around, I reckon 11:00 at night. We went 0:05:58.510 --> 0:06:00.089 to bed. Then you had to get up for a 0:06:00.089 --> 0:06:03.450 photo shoot. Yeah, and I got up mad, rushed running 0:06:03.450 --> 0:06:05.010 downstairs to get to breakfast in time because we were 0:06:05.010 --> 0:06:06.610 a bit jet lagged. And then I'd go back up 0:06:06.610 --> 0:06:09.609 to get ready, and I opened up the door and 0:06:09.610 --> 0:06:15.570 there was just these piles of animals in and amongst 0:06:15.610 --> 0:06:18.289 all our luggage, and I opened up the door and 0:06:18.330 --> 0:06:22.850 absolutely screamed. I think the entire hotel could hear me. Yeah. 0:06:22.890 --> 0:06:24.930 I was like, oh my God. And I was like, 0:06:24.930 --> 0:06:26.370 oh my God, I've got to go down to the reception. 0:06:26.370 --> 0:06:27.730 There's there's like. 0:06:27.770 --> 0:06:29.530 A raccoon or a squirrel or something. 0:06:29.570 --> 0:06:32.770 I literally thought raccoons had come into the apartment and 0:06:32.810 --> 0:06:35.010 had trashed the apartment and. 0:06:35.930 --> 0:06:36.370 It had. 0:06:36.370 --> 0:06:37.130 Died. 0:06:37.170 --> 0:06:38.210 We are the raccoons. 0:06:38.250 --> 0:06:40.850 Yeah, they had died in with all our clothes. And 0:06:40.850 --> 0:06:44.450 I found, like, four raccoons in our clothes. So I 0:06:44.450 --> 0:06:46.530 shut the door and I, like, regrouped. And then I 0:06:46.529 --> 0:06:48.130 opened up the door again to have, like, a little 0:06:48.170 --> 0:06:50.810 bit of a peek, and I looked and I was like, oh, 0:06:50.850 --> 0:06:56.450 my God, no, they're just begs fucking hair extensions. They 0:06:56.490 --> 0:06:59.090 were flung. I don't know, you must have walked in 0:06:59.190 --> 0:07:01.230 the room and just went, fuck this. And you've, like, 0:07:01.270 --> 0:07:01.750 pulled him out. 0:07:01.790 --> 0:07:04.070 Where have we been the night before? I reckon we 0:07:04.110 --> 0:07:06.790 got in at 5 a.m.. I reckon we were very 0:07:06.830 --> 0:07:07.910 a little bit peddled. 0:07:07.950 --> 0:07:09.190 I mean, yeah, it must have been. 0:07:09.390 --> 0:07:10.070 Get this one. 0:07:10.070 --> 0:07:10.590 Out, get. 0:07:10.590 --> 0:07:11.310 This one out. 0:07:11.310 --> 0:07:13.910 And I didn't have that because I have a weft. 0:07:13.950 --> 0:07:14.430 Yes. 0:07:14.470 --> 0:07:16.510 And you at the point didn't have a wig. 0:07:16.550 --> 0:07:17.390 I had clippings. 0:07:17.390 --> 0:07:20.630 You had clippings?

And we always stay in the same room. 0:07:22.710 --> 0:07:27.230 There is always these dead animals, like, all over the room. 0:07:27.230 --> 0:07:30.230 And now I've realised they're just hair extensions. 0:07:30.270 --> 0:07:32.190 And you know what? I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I 0:07:32.230 --> 0:07:35.390 scare myself with them. Oh, okay. 0:07:35.750 --> 0:07:36.590 Fucking scary. 0:07:36.670 --> 0:07:36.950 Yeah. 0:07:36.990 --> 0:07:38.390 And you don't leave him in a nice. 0:07:38.430 --> 0:07:41.030 My husband calls it my animal.

And I was like, nah, I get it. 0:09:43.790 --> 0:09:44.469 How long did it last? 0:09:44.510 --> 0:09:45.829 I looked, I looked like a zombie. 0:09:46.190 --> 0:09:47.750 She came back in. She's like, you need to color 0:09:47.750 --> 0:09:49.110 my hair back. And I was like, I was waiting 0:09:49.110 --> 0:09:49.469 for it. 0:09:49.510 --> 0:09:50.350 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:09:50.390 --> 0:09:52.670 Told you so back. So now I just listened to her. 0:09:52.710 --> 0:09:53.870 She's the queen. 0:09:53.910 --> 0:09:56.070 She is. She's never done a colour wrong on me. 0:09:56.110 --> 0:09:56.430 Oh. 0:09:56.790 --> 0:09:58.150 The best of the best. 0:09:58.190 --> 0:10:01.970 The best. So so good. So, Marie. Over. Tell us, 0:10:01.970 --> 0:10:06.210 how long have you been a hairstylist? To the stars? Colorist? 0:10:06.250 --> 0:10:07.250 Just hair guru. 0:10:07.290 --> 0:10:11.170 I've been hairdressing for about 26 years now. Yeah, it's 0:10:11.170 --> 0:10:11.970 been a long time. 0:10:11.970 --> 0:10:12.410 Salon? 0:10:12.450 --> 0:10:15.610 Yeah. Own salon for 11 of those years. I think 0:10:15.610 --> 0:10:17.570 the thing behind it, and to keep doing it is 0:10:17.570 --> 0:10:19.170 to really love what you do. And I think you 0:10:19.170 --> 0:10:21.329 guys both know that I still really do love what 0:10:21.330 --> 0:10:23.090 I do. So that's the main thing. 0:10:23.130 --> 0:10:26.650 Yeah, I'm very passionate. Tell us about all the different 0:10:26.650 --> 0:10:32.050 people celebs people love to to know who who's in 0:10:32.050 --> 0:10:33.050 your black book. 0:10:33.090 --> 0:10:35.970 Well, obviously you two. No we're not. No, we're just 0:10:35.970 --> 0:10:36.490 so great. 0:10:37.010 --> 0:10:38.370 I'm talking like proper celebs. 0:10:38.410 --> 0:10:40.929 I've been lucky enough to do some really amazing celebs. So, 0:10:40.970 --> 0:10:44.730 like Gigi Hadid is probably every time she comes to Australia. 0:10:44.770 --> 0:10:47.610 I do her hair and we still talk all the time. 0:10:47.610 --> 0:10:50.290 Like I'll speak to her on Instagram and stuff, and 0:10:50.290 --> 0:10:53.170 she's just the most beautiful celeb that I've had to 0:10:53.170 --> 0:10:57.690 work with. Lily Allen was one of them. Um, Rita Ora, 0:10:58.270 --> 0:11:01.510 Dua Lipa. Helena Christensen was an amazing one as well. 0:11:01.550 --> 0:11:04.070 Like obviously growing up looking at supermodels and then to 0:11:04.070 --> 0:11:06.630 be able to do a supermodels hair. Yeah, that was 0:11:06.630 --> 0:11:08.350 pretty amazing. And she also told me that I gave 0:11:08.350 --> 0:11:10.030 her the best and quickest blow I've ever had. And 0:11:10.030 --> 0:11:12.030 I was like, that's pretty rich coming from you. I 0:11:12.030 --> 0:11:13.830 was like, I'm gonna hang up the boots now. 0:11:13.870 --> 0:11:16.710 You are known for your blowies, babe, right? She does 0:11:16.710 --> 0:11:17.310 a good blowie. 0:11:17.350 --> 0:11:17.949 She does a good. 0:11:18.230 --> 0:11:19.150 Blowie in the biz. 0:11:19.190 --> 0:11:19.590 And you know. 0:11:19.590 --> 0:11:19.910 What. 0:11:20.270 --> 0:11:22.670 A good you know the up do the big pony. 0:11:22.710 --> 0:11:24.110 Yeah, it's called the pony. 0:11:24.429 --> 0:11:27.750 The pony? Oh, my God, they are. I'm. I'm going 0:11:27.750 --> 0:11:29.069 to get one one day. I haven't done it yet. 0:11:29.110 --> 0:11:30.350 Haven't you done the pony? 0:11:30.350 --> 0:11:31.350 I haven't done a pony. 0:11:31.390 --> 0:11:33.230 Okay. But I'm going I'm going to paint the picture 0:11:33.230 --> 0:11:37.189 of an Uber pony. Yeah. So it's a voluminous pony 0:11:37.429 --> 0:11:40.069 which has a kick like an s-bend. So if you're 0:11:40.070 --> 0:11:42.510 looking at it from the side, it's not a pony. 0:11:42.550 --> 0:11:45.670 It's like an S or like a question mark. Oh 0:11:45.710 --> 0:11:47.910 my God. Wow, that's such a good explanation. 0:11:48.429 --> 0:11:51.230 I'm impressed. I love that question mark, I love that. 0:11:51.470 --> 0:11:55.790 So Marie, when I moved to Melbourne from Perth I 0:11:56.750 --> 0:12:00.250 was really shocked as this naive Perth girl so had 0:12:00.250 --> 0:12:03.570 come in at Chris. My husband was playing for the 0:12:03.570 --> 0:12:07.770 AFL team. Carlton and I had all of the Carlton 0:12:07.770 --> 0:12:12.130 wives and girlfriends over for when the boys were playing interstate. 0:12:12.130 --> 0:12:14.490 They all came over, we had dinner, we went out 0:12:14.490 --> 0:12:17.250 to a bar afterwards, and we were all sitting around 0:12:17.250 --> 0:12:20.050 having a few drinks, and I was shocked. Every single 0:12:20.050 --> 0:12:23.970 one of them had hair extensions in and it was like, 0:12:23.970 --> 0:12:26.050 what is going on with these Melbourne chicks and their 0:12:26.050 --> 0:12:29.650 hair extensions? No one wore hair extensions in Perth. 0:12:29.690 --> 0:12:31.370 And no one wore them in Queensland. 0:12:31.410 --> 0:12:34.170 Yeah, but these Melbourne girls, they were all clip ins. 0:12:34.170 --> 0:12:38.770 They looked incredible. They all had amazing hair, and it's 0:12:38.770 --> 0:12:41.410 almost like this little hair subculture that had been going 0:12:41.410 --> 0:12:44.010 on here. I don't know if Sydney's the same, if 0:12:44.050 --> 0:12:47.050 Adelaide's the same, but back then it was a real 0:12:47.050 --> 0:12:50.250 Melbourne thing. Everyone had their clip ins. So I was like, 0:12:50.250 --> 0:12:53.370 I'm going to get me some clippings. And I went somewhere. 0:12:53.370 --> 0:12:55.810 I think it was like Chapel Street, where they used 0:12:55.809 --> 0:12:58.520 to do them and popped Pop them in, and I 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.640 wore them to a party, and I was standing too 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.439 close to a little tealight candle, and the whole extension 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.400 caught on fire. No way. Yes. And I was like, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.079 what is that smell? And someone came over and said, Beck, 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.880 you're on fire. I was a hair extension. Lucky it 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.560 was a clipping. I just ripped it out. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.400 But also lucky if it was real hair, because if 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.280 it was not real hair, your whole you would have 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.240 blown up in flames. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.120 Because it did have that burnt hair smell. So like, legit, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.520 it was real hair. Yeah, but imagine if that had 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.800 been like a sewn in weft or something. It would 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.440 have been trouble. Are they in trouble? Anyway, ever since then, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.480 I've been intrigued by hair extensions, and I've noticed that 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.720 throughout Australia. Now, like, everyone wears hair extensions, right? 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.800 Yeah, I just think it's a part of it's a 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.000 it's a part of the routine. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.760 What percentage of your clients wear hair extensions? Not just 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.679 the celebs, everyone. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:49.439 I think there's a good 60%. Wow. Yeah. So clippings 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.040 are obviously more, um, easy to wear because you can 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.400 pop them in and take them out. Um, wefts are 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.620 easy in terms of if you don't know how to 0:13:58.660 --> 0:14:00.940 put them in, they're just in there all the time. 0:14:00.980 --> 0:14:01.540 Sewn in. 0:14:01.620 --> 0:14:04.780 Attached. Some people some people find that really hard to, 0:14:05.140 --> 0:14:07.980 you know, um, pop them in. So some people have 0:14:07.980 --> 0:14:10.340 had stuff happen to their hair, whether it's been broken 0:14:10.340 --> 0:14:12.420 or they've cut it off and they've realized that they 0:14:12.420 --> 0:14:14.220 don't want that length anymore. So that's when you have 0:14:14.220 --> 0:14:16.780 the more permanent ones. But like, even if you've got 0:14:16.820 --> 0:14:20.180 and I say people bring in photos and they say, 0:14:20.180 --> 0:14:24.180 this is what I want. It started with brides essentially. Um, 0:14:24.220 --> 0:14:27.580 because I think as evolution has happened, there's a lot 0:14:27.580 --> 0:14:30.340 more red carpet events in Melbourne. Back when I started hairdressing, 0:14:30.340 --> 0:14:32.740 there wasn't as many red carpet events or I just 0:14:32.740 --> 0:14:36.380 wasn't doing as many of those clients. Um, so it 0:14:36.380 --> 0:14:39.500 started with brides and they would come to me and 0:14:39.500 --> 0:14:42.340 they would show me images and I'd be like, that's great, 0:14:42.340 --> 0:14:45.060 but you have four hairs on your head like, yeah, 0:14:45.100 --> 0:14:47.380 I'm going to need to put extensions in. 0:14:47.500 --> 0:14:47.940 Packet. 0:14:47.980 --> 0:14:48.180 In. 0:14:48.180 --> 0:14:49.340 Your hair for. 0:14:49.340 --> 0:14:51.740 That look. So because and I think realistically, like if 0:14:51.740 --> 0:14:54.860 you look at, um, any red carpet event like Golden 0:14:54.860 --> 0:14:57.760 Globes or, you know, like the Emmys or the Grammys. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.920 Like whatever it is, most people have extra hair in 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.960 their hair to get the looks that they want. So 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.160 and I think a lot of people were naive to that. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.480 And now a lot of people are realizing it. 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.280 Yeah. Social media also helps that. And and people are 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.440 very honest about it. 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.160 So we started making them. So we started making made 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.239 to order clippings for I mean I countless. 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:24.400 Oh I've got, I've got a whole suitcase of different animals. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.040 Every, every. 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:25.440 Event. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.880 That could be like, yeah, I've lost them. Can you 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.600 make me another pair? 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.600 And my hair would be a slightly different color. And 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.240 Marie's such a perfectionist. She's like, no, you're more brunette now, 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.200 so you need a brunette one. I'm like, oh, just 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:36.040 use this old one. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.280 Yeah, she needs one for summer. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:37.600 This old. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:38.880 Thing. Yeah. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.400 No, no, that's the wrong color. So Marie will make 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.160 me a fresh one. Or then if I go slightly lighter. No, no, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.720 they're too dark. And she'll make me a blonde one. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.840 She's so sweet. She'll be there with her staff. And 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.600 they're putting the matching foils in the extension. So it's like. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:53.280 Perfect. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.160 And seamless. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.160 But it has to be, though. The other thing too is, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.580 is that like colors is an important thing. Like, we've 0:15:59.580 --> 0:16:01.700 all seen people walk down the street with hair extensions 0:16:01.700 --> 0:16:06.140 that look really obvious, like. And that is my biggest yes, 0:16:06.620 --> 0:16:09.460 that's my biggest nightmare. So I think clippings is easy 0:16:09.460 --> 0:16:11.820 for everyone to be able to wear. I mean, I've 0:16:11.820 --> 0:16:14.420 got them in today and and I've got heaps of hair. 0:16:14.660 --> 0:16:17.540 But sometimes like for me where I color my hair 0:16:17.540 --> 0:16:20.380 the most like around the front of my face, that's the, 0:16:20.540 --> 0:16:22.580 that's the bit that you kind of lose the most hair. 0:16:22.580 --> 0:16:24.460 So I just fill it up a little bit with 0:16:24.460 --> 0:16:27.340 some side fillers at the side. So I've filled up 0:16:27.340 --> 0:16:29.220 that side bit like a lot of my clients have 0:16:29.220 --> 0:16:31.220 got heaps of hair. I still recommend them to wear 0:16:31.220 --> 0:16:33.460 hair extensions, whether it's to fill up the front or 0:16:33.860 --> 0:16:35.620 just to give them that bit more volume or so. 0:16:35.660 --> 0:16:38.300 With the clipping, you've got one long one that's about what, 0:16:38.340 --> 0:16:42.340 20 20cm? It goes around the base and then you 0:16:42.340 --> 0:16:43.660 do little side fillers. 0:16:43.700 --> 0:16:45.780 Yep. You can or you can like for me, I've 0:16:45.780 --> 0:16:47.540 got heaps of hair at the back. I don't need that. 0:16:47.540 --> 0:16:48.980 My hair's at the length that I want it. I 0:16:49.020 --> 0:16:50.540 literally just put the side ones in. 0:16:50.580 --> 0:16:53.660 So you say 60% of your clients at your salon 0:16:53.700 --> 0:16:57.480 have extensions and out of your celebrity clients. Is it 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:58.720 closer to 100%? 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:00.560 Yeah. There you go. 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.240 It's so transformative. I remember when I put my first 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.399 clip in hair extension in it was Becky. 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:08.120 With the good hair. 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:09.480 Becky with the good hair. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.640 But it also also gives us as a hairdresser. It 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.200 gives you the flexibility to create anything. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.600 So with our weft it obviously grows out as our 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.200 hair grows. So every is it 6 to 8 weeks. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.800 It needs to be lifted because a lot of people, 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.360 they want hair extensions. They don't know where to begin. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.800 They're worried about ongoing maintenance and cost. So clippings are 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.560 probably the most economical. 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.400 Clippings are the most economical. They last the longest, you 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.120 pop them in and you take them out. Whenever you 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.160 have an event and they start from like the side 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:46.400 fillers start from $149. So it's quite I mean, obviously 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.800 if you wanted a bigger piece like it grows from there, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.959 but you can start having extensions in your hair from $149. Okay. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.540 It's the hair that costs the most. 0:17:56.580 --> 0:17:58.420 Okay. And where's the hair come from? 0:17:58.420 --> 0:18:02.179 All different places. Depending. Like if you want pure Russian hair. 0:18:02.220 --> 0:18:02.700 Daria. 0:18:02.740 --> 0:18:03.220 Dasha. 0:18:03.260 --> 0:18:04.020 Yeah, that's. 0:18:04.660 --> 0:18:07.500 That's a lot more expensive. Yeah, but most of the 0:18:07.500 --> 0:18:10.540 wefts that you get online or that you would put 0:18:11.020 --> 0:18:13.100 into your hair is a mix. So it's a mix 0:18:13.100 --> 0:18:16.419 of Russian and it's got like a couple of different 0:18:16.460 --> 0:18:18.300 things in there, a bit of Indian hair, like it's 0:18:18.300 --> 0:18:19.980 all mixed in together. 0:18:19.980 --> 0:18:23.340 With amazing hair. The hair extensions you use, they're incredible 0:18:23.380 --> 0:18:26.340 because that's you've created your own and done your own 0:18:26.340 --> 0:18:27.220 collab with them. 0:18:27.260 --> 0:18:27.619 Yes. 0:18:27.660 --> 0:18:29.419 So tell us about it. Tell us about that. 0:18:29.420 --> 0:18:31.619 So when it came to clipping extensions, I found that 0:18:31.619 --> 0:18:33.300 I'd always have to sew them because I didn't like 0:18:33.300 --> 0:18:36.460 the colours or I didn't like, um, the way that 0:18:36.460 --> 0:18:38.380 they were sewn. So I was like, they were like, well, 0:18:38.380 --> 0:18:40.660 let's do a collab. Let's create a brand together. So 0:18:40.660 --> 0:18:43.220 I've designed them to how I like them and so 0:18:43.220 --> 0:18:45.420 they're seamless. So basically the thing with the clip in 0:18:45.420 --> 0:18:47.580 extensions is that the colours that I've designed, being a 0:18:47.580 --> 0:18:50.500 colorist as well, I know how I want them to be. 0:18:50.500 --> 0:18:54.379 So basically there's six different, um, tones and they match 0:18:54.380 --> 0:18:57.080 everyone's hair. So it doesn't matter who it is. I've 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.440 never found a set of hair that it doesn't match. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.600 That's amazing. So you don't have to color them. And 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.240 they're easy to just grab off the shelf and to 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.359 bring them to your hairdresser. And like I said, they 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.000 suit everyone. There's two different colors that would suit me. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.159 There's two different colors that you could put into your hair. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.560 Same as you, Bec. Yeah. So depending like I've got 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.200 darker ones and lighter ones, if I feel like having 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.040 a bit of a pop of something, they still blend. 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:17.840 And they blend well. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.080 And also to their flatter, um, I didn't like sometimes 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.240 they would stick out and. 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.280 So that you can disguise them. I don't like seeing 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.520 hair extensions. And sometimes when I wear my if I 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:33.159 wear a pony when I'm exercising, I can kind of 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.400 see the bottom. And I try and I try and 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.200 disguise it. And I remember I was on holidays with 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.000 this little girl. She was ten and she came up 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.199 to me. She's like, um, excuse me, I can see 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:43.199 your hair extension. 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:45.400 It wasn't scarlet, was it? 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.280 Shame. I felt like, oh yeah, I just rushed when 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.200 I put my pony up today and I didn't cover 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.600 it properly. So I do love the idea of something 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.560 flat and seamless that you don't see, because that is 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.510 one of the cons of hair extensions, is there are 0:19:58.510 --> 0:20:02.070 some styles that you cannot wear your hair in because 0:20:02.070 --> 0:20:03.150 it exposes the extension. 0:20:03.190 --> 0:20:06.030 But it's also where it's been placed as well. Like, 0:20:06.030 --> 0:20:07.909 I feel like the girls at your cell and they 0:20:07.910 --> 0:20:09.030 place it so well. 0:20:09.070 --> 0:20:11.470 Yeah, I mean, we we've we've worked out exactly where 0:20:11.470 --> 0:20:16.230 to put them. Um, in terms of the clippings, um, 0:20:16.350 --> 0:20:18.470 you want them to be flat as well, because sometimes 0:20:18.470 --> 0:20:20.790 you can see people that are wearing clipping extensions, and 0:20:20.790 --> 0:20:22.830 you can see that it looks bulky. That's something you 0:20:22.869 --> 0:20:24.990 hate as well. I've got some clients that are like, 0:20:24.990 --> 0:20:26.510 I want to wear hair extensions, but I look like 0:20:26.510 --> 0:20:28.270 a Lego head, so make sure that you put them 0:20:28.270 --> 0:20:31.510 really low. Yeah, so that's really important as well. We 0:20:31.510 --> 0:20:32.750 used to glue them into your hair. 0:20:32.790 --> 0:20:37.670 Yeah. Yeah. One time Marie got this funny, funny glue, right? 0:20:37.710 --> 0:20:39.710 So I'd gone to the Brownlow. What year was it? 0:20:39.750 --> 0:20:42.389 A white dress. I just remember the white maticevski dress. 0:20:42.390 --> 0:20:45.990 Shoulder pads. Yeah. Pony. We did the pony. She glued 0:20:45.990 --> 0:20:48.230 in a metre of hair and. But it was a 0:20:48.230 --> 0:20:50.670 new glue. Right. What's the back story on that glue? 0:20:50.710 --> 0:20:53.710 I went to a friend of mine who had that 0:20:53.710 --> 0:20:56.770 shop on Chapel Street, and I said, Olga, I need 0:20:56.770 --> 0:20:59.689 some really strong glue, because Alan White was out of 0:20:59.690 --> 0:21:01.450 stock and I usually used to get them from a 0:21:01.490 --> 0:21:03.889 guy called Alan White in Sydney. And there was no glue. 0:21:03.890 --> 0:21:05.250 So I was like, I went to Olga and I 0:21:05.250 --> 0:21:06.689 was like, I need something that's going to make it 0:21:06.690 --> 0:21:09.810 last all night. Well, it lasted for more than all night. 0:21:09.850 --> 0:21:11.850 I lasted and lasted and. 0:21:11.850 --> 0:21:14.250 Was getting text messages not only from you, but also 0:21:14.250 --> 0:21:17.370 from Nadia. And she was like, Nadia Bartel. 0:21:17.490 --> 0:21:17.810 Oh. 0:21:18.090 --> 0:21:23.810 This? It wasn't glue. Super glue? No, it was super glue. 0:21:24.330 --> 0:21:28.890 I was in a bath crying with a bottle of vodka. 0:21:29.570 --> 0:21:30.689 Because I was like, use. 0:21:30.730 --> 0:21:33.050 Alcohol and it was ripping my hair out and I 0:21:33.050 --> 0:21:35.490 was like, sobbing. And I got there and it was 0:21:35.530 --> 0:21:37.729 Smirnoff and I put it all over my head. 0:21:37.730 --> 0:21:38.170 She's like. 0:21:38.930 --> 0:21:41.770 She goes rubbing alcohol like vodka. 0:21:44.850 --> 0:21:46.170 Na na na na na. 0:21:48.609 --> 0:21:49.250 Name. 0:21:51.130 --> 0:21:52.370 I do love hair extensions. 0:21:52.369 --> 0:21:54.130 I just love that when you get out of the 0:21:54.130 --> 0:21:58.149 shower and it dries. It's it's like it's just done 0:21:58.190 --> 0:22:02.030 because there's so much it just looks good more often 0:22:02.030 --> 0:22:05.149 with no styling or no messing around, no fiddling. It 0:22:05.150 --> 0:22:08.470 just always looks good. And I'm addicted to them and 0:22:08.470 --> 0:22:11.470 I don't think I'll ever have them taken out. Me either. 0:22:11.470 --> 0:22:13.750 When I'm 90, I'll be in the nursing home rocking 0:22:13.750 --> 0:22:15.190 my extensions. 0:22:15.550 --> 0:22:17.030 But I think you said, like you said at the start, 0:22:17.030 --> 0:22:19.150 you said it was very taboo a while ago. Like 0:22:19.150 --> 0:22:22.709 I would never tell people that I, you know, as 0:22:22.710 --> 0:22:25.590 a hairdresser, I'd feel like I couldn't tell you. Cheating. 0:22:25.630 --> 0:22:26.390 Yeah, really. 0:22:26.430 --> 0:22:29.990 There's so many different things that you can do these days, 0:22:30.109 --> 0:22:32.150 and I think that it's not taboo anymore. Like, we 0:22:32.150 --> 0:22:33.710 can talk about it like I used to be scared 0:22:33.710 --> 0:22:35.910 to tell people that I put hair extensions in your 0:22:35.910 --> 0:22:38.390 hair for your wedding because it was like. It was like, 0:22:38.390 --> 0:22:41.430 do we tell people like, do they feel like they're cheating? Like, yeah, 0:22:41.470 --> 0:22:43.230 but now it's not like it's. 0:22:43.230 --> 0:22:44.590 Let's stop faking it. 0:22:44.630 --> 0:22:44.990 Yes. 0:22:44.990 --> 0:22:47.070 Like I was just born. Like I just woke up 0:22:47.070 --> 0:22:49.350 like this, mate. No one woke up like that. 0:22:49.390 --> 0:22:49.630 No. 0:22:49.670 --> 0:22:50.270 No way. 0:22:50.310 --> 0:22:52.630 These vitamins I took did not do this. 0:22:52.710 --> 0:22:53.190 Yeah. 0:22:53.470 --> 0:22:54.109 In two days. 0:22:54.390 --> 0:22:55.410 For the hair growth. 0:22:55.690 --> 0:22:55.970 Did. 0:22:55.970 --> 0:22:59.250 Not and added a meter of Russian hair overnight. 0:22:59.650 --> 0:23:01.170 I think back in the day it would be like, 0:23:01.170 --> 0:23:03.010 let's look after your hair, let's take vitamins, do this 0:23:03.050 --> 0:23:06.010 or do that. We're in a world about instant gratification now, 0:23:06.050 --> 0:23:10.570 so everyone instantly wants to, you know, you guys know 0:23:10.570 --> 0:23:12.330 about all these beauty things that people do, but hair 0:23:12.330 --> 0:23:14.810 extensions is one of those things. Like, I want long hair. Great, 0:23:14.810 --> 0:23:15.570 let's do it. Let's do. 0:23:15.570 --> 0:23:15.689 It. 0:23:15.690 --> 0:23:17.690 Straight away. Kimmy K she is. 0:23:17.730 --> 0:23:19.610 Yeah. She has short pinup girl. 0:23:19.650 --> 0:23:20.889 She changes her hair. 0:23:20.930 --> 0:23:21.730 All the time. 0:23:21.730 --> 0:23:22.530 All the time. 0:23:22.570 --> 0:23:25.730 And just backtrack there. I still feel like the vitamins 0:23:25.730 --> 0:23:28.090 and the supplements and the collagen and stuff, that's very important. 0:23:28.090 --> 0:23:29.250 And I take all of them. 0:23:29.290 --> 0:23:31.530 Yeah, and they do work. But it's just that you help. 0:23:31.690 --> 0:23:32.209 They do. 0:23:32.650 --> 0:23:34.890 Nothing helps. Like putting in a hair. 0:23:34.890 --> 0:23:37.530 Where there is a little bit of like a people 0:23:37.570 --> 0:23:40.889 a little bit apprehensive because they're like, oh, hair extensions. 0:23:40.930 --> 0:23:43.770 Like what? There's the unknown because it has been taboo 0:23:43.770 --> 0:23:44.369 for so long. 0:23:44.410 --> 0:23:46.610 Yeah. And also it's confusing. How much is this going 0:23:46.609 --> 0:23:49.050 to cost me? What's the maintenance? What's the outlay? 0:23:49.250 --> 0:23:50.850 Yeah. How long is it going to last. 0:23:50.890 --> 0:23:53.050 And is it going to damage my hair. And there's 0:23:53.050 --> 0:23:55.150 so many different types. How do I know which one's 0:23:55.150 --> 0:23:55.869 right for me? 0:23:55.910 --> 0:23:58.750 If they're done right, there's no damage at all. No, that's. 0:23:58.790 --> 0:24:02.469 I strongly believe that if they're done right and now 0:24:02.790 --> 0:24:05.869 with how good they are, there is absolutely no way 0:24:05.869 --> 0:24:07.270 that they're going to damage your hair. 0:24:07.270 --> 0:24:09.870 So how do you know where to find the right 0:24:09.869 --> 0:24:11.750 person to do them right? 0:24:11.790 --> 0:24:15.910 I think there's so much information on the internet now, 0:24:16.150 --> 0:24:18.750 or there's so much information on socials. You'll be able 0:24:18.750 --> 0:24:20.710 to see if you look on their page and you 0:24:20.710 --> 0:24:22.950 know whether they're a salon that doesn't good or not. 0:24:22.990 --> 0:24:25.990 So and hairdressers do. Every hairdresser can do them or 0:24:26.030 --> 0:24:27.870 is it? It's a specialized training. 0:24:27.950 --> 0:24:30.629 No, it's definitely specialized training. You need to train people 0:24:30.630 --> 0:24:32.629 up to do it. And there was such a demand 0:24:32.630 --> 0:24:35.830 for it that we I was forced into doing it. 0:24:35.830 --> 0:24:37.430 And now that we're doing it, it's such a big 0:24:37.430 --> 0:24:38.510 part of our business now. 0:24:38.550 --> 0:24:40.869 And you've got great staff who do it really well. 0:24:40.869 --> 0:24:41.909 The girls are really good. 0:24:41.910 --> 0:24:43.949 They've nailed it. I get mine done in like 45 0:24:43.950 --> 0:24:44.750 minutes now. 0:24:44.790 --> 0:24:45.470 So good. 0:24:46.070 --> 0:24:46.430 They're like. 0:24:47.070 --> 0:24:51.830 Okay, so which celebs do you think nail their hair extensions? 0:24:51.830 --> 0:24:54.970 I mentioned before Kimmy K just I've spoken to Chris 0:24:54.970 --> 0:24:59.210 about it. Chris. Who's Chris? Chris Appleton is Kim Kardashian's hairdresser. 0:24:59.250 --> 0:25:02.250 He's a global ambassador of a product, and I had 0:25:02.250 --> 0:25:05.690 the opportunity to work with him recently. And I asked him, 0:25:05.810 --> 0:25:07.970 can you imagine any questions I asked about Kim Kardashian. 0:25:07.970 --> 0:25:09.409 Would have been such a pest. 0:25:09.810 --> 0:25:11.970 I asked him so many questions and he was just like, 0:25:11.970 --> 0:25:14.930 he's there's a there's a lady in New York that 0:25:14.930 --> 0:25:16.689 a lot of even Australians go to when they're in 0:25:16.690 --> 0:25:19.250 New York, and she supplies a lot of hair extensions. 0:25:19.250 --> 0:25:23.250 She is like gets them from she gets good quality, 0:25:23.250 --> 0:25:25.130 so she must get them from Russia. But she supplies 0:25:25.130 --> 0:25:27.570 to Kim. So Chris gets all these extensions. But when 0:25:27.570 --> 0:25:29.530 I saw his I thought I went around with a 0:25:29.530 --> 0:25:31.810 lot of extensions. When I saw his suitcase of hair, 0:25:31.850 --> 0:25:34.170 I was like, okay, I feel better now because he 0:25:34.170 --> 0:25:38.050 had a full suitcase of all extensions and literally he 0:25:38.050 --> 0:25:41.730 does nothing without it. And for her transformations that so 0:25:41.730 --> 0:25:45.489 quickly changed from blonde to bobs to long to, you know, 0:25:45.530 --> 0:25:48.409 sometimes she only colors literally a small portion of her hair, 0:25:48.410 --> 0:25:51.450 and the rest of it is wefts or wig pieces 0:25:51.450 --> 0:25:54.590 or I mean Kylie's one wig pieces as well, But 0:25:54.790 --> 0:25:58.510 I think the Kardashians, especially Kim and Kylie, they're the 0:25:58.510 --> 0:26:01.750 two that I really think do the best hair extensions. 0:26:01.790 --> 0:26:03.750 I mean, like, let's not look at Dolly Parton's, but 0:26:03.790 --> 0:26:04.070 you know. 0:26:04.109 --> 0:26:06.750 Yeah, yeah. They've put they've put hair extensions on the 0:26:06.790 --> 0:26:07.710 on the map again. 0:26:07.750 --> 0:26:08.150 Yeah. 0:26:08.230 --> 0:26:10.310 You know, not made it kind of a taboo thing. 0:26:10.350 --> 0:26:12.750 Is there a name for the feeling you get when 0:26:12.750 --> 0:26:15.550 you see your natural hair, when the extensions come out? 0:26:15.590 --> 0:26:18.790 I think it's just it's kind of. It's like when 0:26:18.790 --> 0:26:20.630 you take your makeup off at the end of the night, 0:26:20.670 --> 0:26:23.510 I suppose. Yeah. Naked. You feel naked. What do you 0:26:23.510 --> 0:26:27.149 feel when you take your hair extensions out for that small, 0:26:27.150 --> 0:26:29.630 brief amount of time? How do you feel? Uh. 0:26:30.430 --> 0:26:32.909 It's quite shocking, actually, to feel your hair without the 0:26:32.910 --> 0:26:34.350 extension in. 0:26:34.510 --> 0:26:36.790 But. But both of you have both said this, and 0:26:36.790 --> 0:26:39.149 I've noticed this. Of both of you have both said it. 0:26:39.190 --> 0:26:41.790 You're like, oh my God, how long's my natural hair? Yeah. 0:26:41.830 --> 0:26:45.390 You don't even realize that it actually makes your hair grow. 0:26:45.550 --> 0:26:47.510 Yeah, yeah. No I do. Every time I get my 0:26:47.510 --> 0:26:49.070 hair extensions out, I'm like, oh my gosh, my hair 0:26:49.070 --> 0:26:50.030 is so long. 0:26:50.070 --> 0:26:52.270 I think the important thing to remember is and this 0:26:52.270 --> 0:26:54.970 is something that you guys both do because I tell 0:26:54.970 --> 0:26:56.530 you to do it, but is to make sure that 0:26:56.530 --> 0:26:58.810 you're getting regular maintenance on your own hair. So if 0:26:58.850 --> 0:27:01.369 you trim your own hair when you're taking it out, 0:27:01.410 --> 0:27:04.889 trim your hair, trim your hair stays healthy. And that 0:27:04.930 --> 0:27:07.409 I think it's when you don't touch your natural hair 0:27:07.410 --> 0:27:11.010 and you keep getting your extensions lifted, then that means 0:27:11.010 --> 0:27:13.730 you're not looking after your natural hair as well. 0:27:13.770 --> 0:27:14.730 So regular trim. 0:27:14.770 --> 0:27:15.170 Regular. 0:27:15.250 --> 0:27:16.010 Anything else? 0:27:16.250 --> 0:27:18.210 Treatments? I mean, um. 0:27:18.250 --> 0:27:19.290 Good shampoo and conditioner. 0:27:19.330 --> 0:27:20.530 Good shampoo and conditioner, I think. 0:27:20.730 --> 0:27:24.450 Hold up, hold up. Is that is that BS? Right. 0:27:24.490 --> 0:27:27.609 Because I've been seeing some stuff. I've been seeing some stuff. 0:27:27.609 --> 0:27:28.770 Guys go down. 0:27:29.250 --> 0:27:30.450 Algorithms changed. 0:27:30.609 --> 0:27:35.850 So you know like obviously there's really beautiful shampoo and 0:27:35.850 --> 0:27:41.330 conditioner brands. And then there's some more supermarket brands that 0:27:41.330 --> 0:27:44.209 I love, right. Because they're cheap and cheerful and they 0:27:44.210 --> 0:27:47.170 make my hair feel amazing. And so many professionals say, 0:27:47.170 --> 0:27:49.770 don't use that. It's supermarket stuff. It's got silicone in it. 0:27:49.810 --> 0:27:52.330 It's bad for you. And I'm like, when I use it, 0:27:52.369 --> 0:27:55.439 it feels really good and my hair is really shiny. Have. 0:27:55.600 --> 0:28:00.160 Is it marketing? Have we? No. No. Explain to me 0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:05.320 why we should invest in an $80 shampoo and conditioner 0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:07.040 that I'm going to use in two weeks, when I 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:08.040 could go and get good old. 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.920 It just. It's like. It's like when you don't use, 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.440 you know, you're not going to use a cheap moisturizer 0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.880 on your skin. So why would you use a cheap 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.920 conditioner on your hair? Because basically all it's doing is 0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:22.560 coating the outside of your hair, but your hair cuticle, 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.719 basically there's three parts of it. There's the the inside 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:28.200 bit like the cortex. And then there's like the flesh 0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:29.760 bit and then there's the skin bit. So there's three 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.600 bits to it. So the cuticles the outside layer that's 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:34.840 that's pretty much like your skin. If you're looking at 0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:38.240 your arm it's like your skin. So if you don't 0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:42.000 nourish that it's not going to go deeper into and 0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:45.280 fix the actual hair shaft. So the cuticle is like 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.640 the really important bit. So those other ones just kind 0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.120 of coat the outside. They don't really do any instant gratification. 0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.060 Yeah. Which I'm all about. Yeah. Yeah. 0:28:54.060 --> 0:28:57.060 But I'm saying, like, most people won't use an inexpensive 0:28:57.060 --> 0:28:59.700 moisturizer on their skin. They just won't. They won't do 0:28:59.700 --> 0:29:01.340 that because they're like, I'm scared I'm going to age. 0:29:01.340 --> 0:29:02.540 I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. 0:29:02.540 --> 0:29:03.340 It's the same. 0:29:03.740 --> 0:29:03.900 With. 0:29:03.900 --> 0:29:04.020 Your. 0:29:04.060 --> 0:29:06.420 I guess, because it's not like, like because it's already 0:29:06.420 --> 0:29:10.900 grown out and it's dead. It's dead. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:29:10.900 --> 0:29:13.260 It's all good. Never heard of anybody. Looks pretty good. 0:29:13.300 --> 0:29:14.380 That's the ish on her. 0:29:16.060 --> 0:29:20.500 I must admit. Like, when I recommend, like an actual. 0:29:20.740 --> 0:29:23.260 There's different levels of salon brands that you can use 0:29:23.260 --> 0:29:27.020 compared to the supermarkets. There's the salon brands. When I 0:29:27.020 --> 0:29:28.540 do recommend it to the clients, they come back and 0:29:28.540 --> 0:29:30.900 they're like, oh, you were actually right. My hair does 0:29:30.900 --> 0:29:31.580 feel amazing. 0:29:31.620 --> 0:29:32.220 It's amazing. 0:29:32.260 --> 0:29:34.860 I have to say, being with you, my hair has grown. 0:29:34.860 --> 0:29:37.100 It's amazing. It feels good. It's healthy. 0:29:37.140 --> 0:29:39.700 It looks good. Look at you whipping around your little pony. 0:29:39.740 --> 0:29:40.660 Oh my God, look at me. 0:29:40.700 --> 0:29:42.580 I'm loving this little style you've got at the moment. 0:29:42.580 --> 0:29:44.500 I love it. I love it because my weft is. 0:29:44.540 --> 0:29:47.540 Yeah, it's perfect I love it, it's so pretty. 0:29:47.540 --> 0:29:49.340 It gives me a non-surgical eyelift. 0:29:49.380 --> 0:29:50.260 Why are you whispering. 0:29:50.540 --> 0:29:53.640 Am I it's giving me a non-surgical eyelift. Look at that. 0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:54.560 Do I look younger? 0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:56.000 Thank you darling. 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.400 Thank you so much for popping on and talking everything. 0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:02.160 Hair extensions because it is like everyone's doing it. And 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:03.320 if you're not doing it. 0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:03.800 Do. 0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.480 It. Get on to it and go see Marie and 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.680 get her new hair extensions. Congratulations. 0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:10.680 Thank you so much. 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:18.280 Thank you. So hair extensions for me. I've been doing 0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.760 it for so long. I've tried them all. I've done 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.800 the tapes, I've done the weft. I've done the clippings. 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:27.000 I'm personally love the weft because I find it easier 0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:31.440 for me to style. And I'm never giving up on this. 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:34.680 Like I will always be a hair extension girl to 0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:35.680 the day I die. 0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:38.320 They look so good on you. You know, I did clips. 0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:42.880 I was a clip girl for so long. I'm talking, oh, 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:47.320 13 years. Only 12 months ago did I get a 0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:50.000 weft sewn in. And the reason I did is because 0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.440 I kept wearing the clips every day. You've got to 0:30:52.580 --> 0:30:55.820 get like a little comb and you've got to tease 0:30:56.260 --> 0:30:58.700 a little bit of hair to put the clip into. 0:30:58.740 --> 0:31:01.620 And because I kept teasing the same spot, you're actually 0:31:01.620 --> 0:31:03.739 quite rough. And there's a bit of trauma to the 0:31:03.740 --> 0:31:06.380 hair with that comb. And I thought, God, I'm putting 0:31:06.380 --> 0:31:08.660 these bloody things in every day. Let's just get it 0:31:08.660 --> 0:31:09.820 sewn in permanently. 0:31:09.940 --> 0:31:12.340 And it's definitely saved the trauma of me walking into 0:31:12.380 --> 0:31:15.220 a hotel room, seeing your extensions everywhere. 0:31:15.780 --> 0:31:18.980 My animal is now permanently attached to my hair. So 0:31:19.340 --> 0:31:20.500 I'm loving myself sick. 0:31:20.540 --> 0:31:22.700 Yeah. And the last few times I've travelled with you, 0:31:22.700 --> 0:31:24.820 I've not noticed any dead animals in our apartment. 0:31:24.860 --> 0:31:26.260 Oh, good. I'm never going. 0:31:26.260 --> 0:31:26.700 Back. 0:31:26.900 --> 0:31:28.979 I'll be buried with this thing bloody sewn in. 0:31:29.020 --> 0:31:30.940 Yeah, literally, if I die, can you go into the 0:31:30.940 --> 0:31:33.500 morgue and, like, lift it all up for me? 0:31:33.540 --> 0:31:34.060 Oh, God. 0:31:35.820 --> 0:31:36.220 Oh, God. 0:31:36.700 --> 0:31:38.700 Thanks, guys. We'll see you for the next step. 0:31:40.940 --> 0:31:48.140 Only do what we wanna know. Same ish.
