This week we are talking about haircare for the Asian hair. With so much information and products out there today, it’s natural to be confused and overwhelmed. On this episode, we discuss why we care so much (or so little) about hair and what’s worked for us. We also cover hair beauty ‘idols’ and trends we grew up with (we’re looking at you, South Korea), Asian and American standards of beauty, our personal experiences with hair thinning and loss in our 30s, our personal haircare regimen, and favorite Asian hair salons. Get ready for vulnerability, laughs, and tips.

We cover:

• Our Asian hair beauty idols growing up
• Asian v. American standards of beauty
• Hair thinning and loss in your 20s/30s, including postpartum hair loss
• Hair trends, products, and home remedies we’ve seen and tried
• Hair loss in men v. women
• Asian steal, splurge, show, story of the week: Asian hair salons we love
