In this week's Q&A episode, Leigh and Kelly tackle a beauty question on a topic they've never covered on the show before: hair extensions. They cover everything from tape-ins and weaves to clip-ins and halos, plus everything else you need to consider when looking at your options - think of this as your hair extensions 101 bible.

And for anyone feeling the pressure of nailing the perfect morning routine, Kelly has an 'anti-hack' about the crazy social media 'morning shed' trend that nobody actually needs. Thank us later.

Leigh and Kelly dish on a luxury product that's so good it had Leigh vowing to spend her own money (beauty editor code for "absolutely worth it!") and a gorgeous winter lip tint that Kelly's ob-SESS-ed with.

In a moment of pure beauty synchronicity, the duo discover they've both brought face palettes that perfectly match their personalities and they both rave over the new Mecca Max tubular mascara. But the conversation takes an entertaining turn when Kelly insists Leigh feel her remarkably soft hair—cue the "oohs" and "ahhs"—to showcase her latest treatment. This episode will have you inspired to refresh your routine without emptying your wallet.

From salmon sperm facials (yes, really!) to DIY beauty disasters that left facial hickeys, we dive into the wild world of beauty trends to separate what actually works from what's just clever marketing.

Consider this your ultimate BS-free guide to figuring out which beauty trends are worth your time - and which ones should stay firmly in your TikTok feed...
