We, Adrienne + Stephanie, met Cheryl in 2014 on a Shape Magazine shoot. We loved her energy instantly. She had us included in a piece about “loving” yourself. Some loved their freckles, others loved their curly hair, we were chosen to be the ones who “loved our red hair”. The piece was so ahead of its time – pre-Lizzo, pre-self-acceptance.

We're so excited for the H2BAR audience to meet Cheryl. Get ready to get some solid beauty advice to guide you, and scroll below for many of her product recommendations. We asked her the following questions:

1.When did you first go red? Do you remember the moment?

2.You’ve had a long career as a beauty expert. What is your top tip about fading red hair?

3.You wrote an article for PSYCOM called “Dopamine Dressing: How what you wear affects how you feel”. What colors do you suggest for redheads?

4.You’ve written about menopause recently, specifically hot flashes. Do our hormones affect our hair and skin? And if so, how?

5.You’re a woman who exudes confidence. What tips do you have for our listeners about living a confident life?
