You may recognise him from Channel 9's The Block, but did you know, Mat Johnson is also an esteemed Hair Stylist and salon owner with over 24 years experience.

This week on The Formula, Kelly and Mat are breaking down the exact hair colours and styles dominating 2026, including why American blondes (think Margot Robbie) look so much brighter than Aussie blondes, and the absolute golden rules for achieving a salon-worthy blowout from home. (Hint: It all comes down to a dry shaft and letting those rollers cool completely). Plus, Mat reveals his number one holy grail product and expert advice for transitioning to grey hair.

The Block’s Mat Johnson (Global Hair Artist) On Going Grey & The #1 Holy Grail Product

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/f15f8f60-6f7d-488b-9816-b44e003b1a8e/transcript

This week, Kelly is joined by the glorious Amy Clark (filling in for a poorly Leigh Campbell) to tackle the buzzwords and beauty blunders currently taking over your feed.

First up, they’re demystifying PDRN. You’ve seen it everywhere, it’s being called "salmon sperm" (don't worry, it's actually purified DNA), and it’s promising to be the new Hyaluronic Acid. Kelly and Amy break down what it is and how it works. 

Plus, the duo solves the ultimate makeup dilemma: how to get your base to last all day without it looking "crusty" or dry by 2pm. Kelly shares her "netball-proof" strategy for keeping a disco-ball glow even through a sweaty centre-court game.

And stay tuned for the Beauty Edit, where Molly and Cass discuss the "male blepharoplasty" trend on red carpets, why people are contouring their ears, and a new technique for covering a breakout. 

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask, $53.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, $112.

Tarte Shape Tape Stay Spray, $46.

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist 4-in-1 Mist, $53.
