The "Housemaid" Hair Trend & The Truth About Your Bikini Line

Is your highlighter making you look like a 2016 disco ball instead of a dewy goddess? And could a specific scene in a viral thriller be the reason you're finally skipping your hair appointment? On today’s episode of The Fix, Kelly and Amy are getting into the nitty-gritty of summer beauty dilemmas, from the awkward reality of "smelly hair" when you're stretching out your washes to the best way to handle your business down south. Amy and Kelly get real about their pubic hair routines—including the kitchen scissor incident you have to hear to believe—and why the "bush" is officially back. If you're struggling with painful backne or wondering how to tell your partner their scalp needs a scrub without being a total jerk, we've got the expert-approved (and slightly rogue) advice you need to survive the season.

On the Beauty Edit, we’re unpacking the "New Year Glow" taking over TikTok, why "recession hair" is the ultimate 2026 vibe, and the "Housemaid" trend that has us all ditching the salon to embrace our roots.
