This week on Uncensored, special guest and Expert co-host Tegan joins Mel on the pod’ to discuss everything from LED masks to book-to-screen adaptations with ‘hot older brother’ tropes.

Then, Mel crowns *the* haircut of 2026 – aka, Allie Hayes’ perfectly undone waves in Off Campus – and calls in hairdresser Amanda Tua to break down how to achieve this ‘effortless’ shag, and who it’s best suited for.

Finally, for Tegan’s first PWDKWN, she reveals the French hair accessory that’s eclipsed the claw clip – and it’s rock concert-approved. Meanwhile, has Mel found her holy-grail moisturiser?

Everything mentioned:

• Davroe Curl Crème Definer
• Davroe CURLiCUE Curl Gel
• Oribe Dry Texturising Spray
• Shark CryoGlow Cooling + LED Face Mask
• Kitsch Metal French Hair Pin

This week on Expert, Tegan is back from Italy and has plenty to report! She's had some unforgettable deli snacks, a pretty good plane ride with a baby, and schooled herself on all things advanced CO2 lasers.

Next up, it's time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and today it's one of TikTok's most talked-about wellness trends: mouth taping. Tegan and Sadaf break down what it is, why people are doing it, and whether it's actually worth adding to your bedtime routine.

Then, if you've ever looked at your skincare shelf and wondered whether you're accidentally using five products that do the same thing, listen up. It's a deep dive into skincare actives, from how to identify them in your products, which combinations can cause issues, and how to simplify your skincare routine, getting the same great results with less steps.

Finally, an Adore Anonymous listener needs help. They're devoted to hot pilates but worried that all that heat and sweat is leaving their hair dry, brittle and lacking shine. The team shares their favourite tips for protecting hair health while keeping up an active lifestyle, along with the products they recommend to restore moisture and strength.

Everything mentioned:

• Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask
• Evo The Great Hydrator Moisture Mask
• K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
• Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum
• Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment
• Virtue Healing Oil
