This was fascinating. Thanks for this content. Wonderful to hear from someone who really, really knows their stuff.
Nadine are you still using Nexus Keraphix treatment?
Can you list the products that these miracle things are in?
Brilliantly informative chat. Great to hear about ingredients and formulation from someone who is clearly not to be messed with in terms of expertise instead of hearing about loads of expensive brands … although I do like those sometimes too.
Oh Nadine I love your content but PLEASE stop playing with your hair
What about the worst ingredients? Like Phenoxyethanol,PEG’s, that they still put in most cosmetics products.
Playing with hair even worse now as shorter! But I love your knowledge and I think it looks great flat more modern.

This was AMAZING!!!! more lives with Lorna plz more info on inky lists and ingredients…..thank you!
Nadine, this was BRILLIANT! So much so, I have watched you and Lorna TWICE!! This is what we ALL need to know. It was great how Lorna explained the costs associated with products. The research, raw product cost and testing which we sometimes forget, when we question the price of products. And also not to forget the tried and trusted ingredients!
