Episode Details

Ever feel totally lost in the hairspray aisle? You're not alone — and Monina didn't even know the answers to these listener questions before hitting record! In this fun and surprisingly educational Q&A, host Velia answers three of your most-asked hair questions in under 30 minutes.

She breaks down every type of hairspray from lightest to strongest hold (yes, the number system is real), explains what scalp conditions a stylist legally can't work with, and finally demystifies the rinse-out conditioner vs. leave-in conditioner vs. hair mask situation that has everyone confused.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• The number system on hairsprays — what 14 vs. 32 actually means
• Thermal spray: what it is & why it goes on DRY hair, not wet
• Why finishing spray is "you better be committed" hold
• Lice, ringworm & fungal infections — the conditions that send clients home• Psoriasis, eczema & dandruff — totally fine to work with (as long as it's not inflamed)
• Rinse-out conditioner = pH balancer & cuticle smoother (it's your hair's toner!)
• Leave-in conditioner = moisture lock, UV protection, and a non-negotiable• Hair mask = intense structural repair — and you skip the conditioner when you use one
• The pro trick for applying spray leave-in without overdoing it
