We take a closer look at the haircut that’s everywhere this summer and chat about its origins, what makes a haircut go viral, and whether or not it’s safe to call the wolf cut “Gen Z’s answer to the mullet.” Before that, there’s lots of beauty news to discuss: details on the new Glossier retail locations; the temporary shutdown of KKW Beauty; Tracee Ellis Ross’s docuseries, The Hair Tales; NYC Cosmetics sponsoring e-gamers; and more. Plus: A new study shows how quickly hair can go gray due to stress and why the process may be reversible, and a listener shares her favorite “summer” moisturizer.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode.
