Is haircare the new skincare? We’re breaking down the billion-dollar boom. In this episode of GlowJob, we dive into the rise of haircare in beauty — from the skinification of the scalp to the science behind bond builders like Olaplex and K18.
We unpack viral TikTok trends, the rise of celeb brands like Fenty Hair and Gisou, and the lawsuits shaking up the industry.
You'll also learn why your hair porosity matters more than hair type and how to choose the right products.
We share our own hair routines (and regrets), and spotlight cult-fave brands from Dyson and Nutrafol to cool-girl disruptors like Crown Affair and Ceremonia.
💡 You’ll Learn:
- What “bond building” really means
- How to test your hair porosity at home
- Lawsuits shaking up the industry
- Why scalp health is the next frontier (AI scalp scanners, anyone?)
- The truth behind “damaged” hair marketing
Whether you're a curly girlie, a bond builder junkie, or just wondering why your hair feels dry AF — this one’s for you.
