After 4 years co-hosting Beauty IQ Uncensored, Jo's stepping away from the mic (but don't worry, you'll probably still hear her voice every now and then). Next week will be Jo's last episode, before we take a short break and return to regular programming with some new voices!
Cervical Screenings
Pap smears have changed a bit over the last few years, so Dr Lucinda joins us to discuss cervical screenings, HPV, what happens if you have abnormal cells, and why you shouldn't get too worried.
Hair Extensions
Hair extension expert Carla Lawson joins us to discuss the different types of extensions, how to prevent damage, what haircare she recommends for extension-wearers, and how much good quality extension can cost (we were shocked!) You can find Carla's salon in Port Melbourne, or on Instagram @carlalawsonhairextensions.

(Jo also mentions her Kosi heat pack which you can find on IG: @kosi_au)
