Beauty Uncovered

As a Happy Birthday to Olaplex, we’re giving you a second episode this week! Coko Taft, known on her social media as @cokothenatural, is a Curl Expert and shares with us her expansive knowledge and wisdom when it comes to taking care of curly hair, because if you have curly hair, you know what a challenge it is. Danielle and Coko talk about those challenges, treatments to overcome them, and everyday curly hair care.

Coko Taft is a Curl Expert and Curl Coach, educating others on curly hair care and has a passion for hair since she was only 14. Coko has a passion for Olaplex products as tried-and-true treatments for all hair and especially those with curls.

Olaplex is celebrating it’s 8th birthday this week! In celebration, we have a very special guest. Cory Couts joins us to talk about how to truly benefit from your relationship with your stylist, your hairdresser. We delve into the ins and outs of communication with them, what to tell them, and how to build the relationship to benefit both of you.

Cory Couts is the Senior VP of Global Professional Sales at Olaplex currently but has had a long career in the salon industry. By a beautiful accident, he helped a friend with their salon business by managing the salon, retailing product and servicing clients and has built an amazing career built on a passion for helping both salonists and their clients.

Danielle Frank shares her hard-earned knowledge and facts about the effects of hard water on our hair.

So we’ve asked Dr. Justin Puder, or Dr. J, to have a conversation with him about handling our loss and figuring out how to get through it. Dr. J is @amoderntherapist and is a mental health influencer. So not only does he have the credentials, he personally lost his own father at 19. Join us as he walks us through coping with our grief and loss even decades after.

In this After Hours Special, I want to share with you what I’ve learned at the recent Premiere Orlando, one of the largest beauty trade shows. It’s all things beauty – hair, skin, nails, lashes. You name it, it’s there! And I am so excited to share my insights with you.

On Thursdays, I will be doing a bonus episode where my friends and I will discuss some of our own personal discoveries and opinions on beauty, health and wellness.

And I also want to hear from you. Share some of your aha moments on beauty, health and wellness, and have a discussion. If you're on Apple podcasts, write your aha moment in the comment section. Or you can email me at [email protected]. And maybe you could be chosen to come on our Thursday discussion panel.

In the spirit of Pride Month, I wanted to invite someone that truly inspires me and that is Mykey O’Halloran. He has had one heck of a journey trying to express himself, and it even made global news with the pushback he got. But he still manages to live in his joy and share that with others every single day.

Mykey O’Halloran a hair artist that just wants to make people feel good and does so using vibrant rainbow colors creating award-winning hairstyles and custom wigs with Unicorn Manes. Mykey works with some of the world’s best drag and LGBT+ performers including Art Simone and Mark Kanemura.

Today we have a wonderful guest, Liz Kennedy. You’ve probably heard of her. She is a TV host and On-Air Beauty Expert. She’s been on shows like Steve Harvey, Dr. Phil, QVC and Access Hollywood. She’s also an entrepreneur and she’s recently launched the Beauty Magnet which we’re going to get all the information about because being that she is a trained esthetician, she made sure she was going to make a tool that would be perfect for all of us.

We also get into some real talk because as she’s also really big on social media, she is really walking the walk, and talking the talk. She wants to be real with her audience because the things that you go through are the same things that affect her. And all of that has to do with our beauty, both inside and out.

Today, we’re revisiting an episode that speaks to so many. Hair loss can be traumatic, even more so when you don't understand why it's happening. Trichologist William Gaunitz has trained in London at the International Association of Trichology and is a certified trichologist with the World Trichology Society in New York City. He has studied Diagnostics in France and Hair Loss Treatment in Australia. He shares his experiences and insights on the multiple causes of hair loss and the solutions that he found works with his clients.

Over the years, I have come to appreciate how beautiful it is to watch someone chase their dreams. Think of every movie ever, where we obsess over the heroine. All the highs, the lows, the victories that have us crying with the beauty of it all at the end of the story. This week, the heroine of our story is Ego Iwegbu. She went on a journey to chase her dreams, and there were huge successes and some failures and lessons along the way that she chose not to stop her. She took it as an opportunity to grow and become the heroine of her own story.

Today, my friend Ashley joins me to talk about how she planned her wedding during the pandemic and all the crazy challenges she overcame for the best day of her life.
