Overhyped Ingredients & Underrated Areas: Beauty Reality Check

Between work, family and having some semblance of a social life - it's not unusual for us to go three, four, even five days without washing our hair. But that's okay right....right? Turns out there might be more to this than we thought, so we've brought in expert trichologist at the Australian Trichology Centre, Chelcey Salinger. Chelcey specialises in hair loss and scalp problems. She's here to walk us through the do's and don'ts of proper scalp care and to debunk some of the most common myths and trends.  SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR GUEST: Chelcey Salinger ALL PRODUCTS MENTIONED:  SUBSCRIBE: Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH:Got a beauty question you want answered?  Email us at youbeauty@mamamia.com.au or call the podphone on 02 8999 9386.  Join our You Beauty Facebook Group here.
