Want bigger, bouncier hair without spending hours styling it? This week, Mel chats to Sydney hairstylist and Instagram favourite James Plain about why your hair keeps falling flat, the haircut that makes all the difference and the surprisingly simple tricks for creating volume that lasts. Plus, his tips for tackling summer frizz without sacrificing body.

Before that, Mel and Tegan investigate the latest K-beauty trend: UV-protective face patches. Could these little stickers be the answer to stubborn pigmentation, or are there too many unanswered questions?

In Before Payday, After Payday, we're talking expensive-looking skin on a budget. Mel shares three affordable foundations that deliver a gorgeous, luminous finish without the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk price tag.

And in Adore Anonymous, a listener wants to know how to switch up her skincare routine when the weather gets hot and sweaty. Think lightweight moisturisers, hydrating milky toners and a few clever summer skincare swaps.
