Erin breaks her two-year haircut drought with Australia's most expensive cut—a $750 "texture edit" that didn't go as expected. When she asked for her usual bob, the stylist actually said no! Find out why this pregnancy-friendly cut might have saved her from yet another hair regret. 

Plus, Em puts the endlessly viral castor oil trend to the test on her skin, hair and (briefly) eyelashes. TikTok claims this $15 wonder oil fixes everything from hyperpigmentation to hair growth—but is it actually worth the greasy aftermath? We've tested it everywhere (well, almost everywhere) to bring you the verdict.
