REPLAY: Style with Me in Real-Time + Q&A + Announcement!


In today’s live video, I showed what its like to get real-time coaching by styling my hair in real time. This was an opportunity to answer questions while I styled. I answered some common questions on how to combat frizz, refreshing techniques and how to style.

Livestream Replay

Watch the livestream recording below.

⚠️ Due to connection issues, the video is very blurry and freezes at times. Fortunately, the audio is still intact so I wanted to still share the replay so you can hear my answers to the questions and other tips. I did my best to provide verbal instructions for what I was doing, so I hope it is still somewhat helpful for you. I will schedule a re-do so we can try again very soon!
