Hannah Burner
Hello, my glossy Gigglers. This is a very special episode of Giggly Squad. We've never done this before.
Paige Desorbo
No.
Hannah Burner
We are doing Collins, inspired by Burn a Phone.
Paige Desorbo
Because, honestly, people don't talk enough about what a great name Burner Phone is. I think about it all the time.
Hannah Burner
And I hate puns. It's the only part.
Paige Desorbo
I love a pen. I love a pun and a pen.
Hannah Burner
No, people talk about pens enough. People want to talk about a good, inky pen.
Paige Desorbo
Whatever happened to the ballpoint pen?
Hannah Burner
And, you know, in your past life, I knew you used a feather. I know you loved a feather.
Paige Desorbo
I loved a quill.
Hannah Burner
Anyway, this episode is presented by Tressa May, Le Meller Gloss and Acast Creative. Thank you, guys. It's our first time doing this. We have asked the Gigglers to submit questions, and we want to hear your voices, because guess what? We're sick of ours. Yeah, we've heard enough. Five to hear my own voice or your voice. So you guys have submitted any kind of question to us. Let's play the first caller at 1-800- glossy.
Paige Desorbo
This is, like, all my childhood dreams of, like, being a DJ. Like, hey, this is 99.1.
Hannah Burner
Well, I feel like we're. Everything's nostalgic, and I want to feel like we're on live radio again. We're in live radio in New York City, when it'd be like, hey, this is Joe.
Paige Desorbo
The Mets suck.
Hannah Burner
Did you all grow up with that? And I'm like, dad, why are we.
Paige Desorbo
Listening in the backseat? It's, like, nighttime. You, like, really know where you're driving. Like, are we going home? Are we going to Grandma's?
Hannah Burner
The train was horrible. Fire the manager. This is Steve from Staten Island. That's the Gigglers. That's what we're about to have. We never get to the Gigglers. Ten minutes in, we're like, remember when we were in the car when we were little? Okay, Grace, come on. Come on, Grace, you're gonna have to put your foot down here.
Grace
Super fun idea. Love you, girls. Thanks for making me giggle. My question is, like, to what degree do you think is an okay amount for a man to connect with his mom or his mom to be connecting with him? And I'm meaning, like, late 20s, early 30s, or mid-30s. What does that look like, in yalls opinion? And what's too much and what's too little? Where one could be a red flag on both sides for the man and his mother, It's a spectrum.
Hannah Burner
And we all know one side of the spectrum is when you catch your husband sucking on his mom's teat on his wedding day?
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
Which you told me that story.
Paige Desorbo
What story? That was.
Hannah Burner
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
You guys have never.
Hannah Burner
You guys don't see the news. You don't watch the news. You've never gone through a newspaper before.
Paige Desorbo
Like a year ago. A year ago, I'm on vacation with, like, a bunch of my girlfriends, and one of my girlfriends says her friend's sister was so.
Hannah Burner
From the source.
Paige Desorbo
So.
Hannah Burner
Her friend's ex's sister's wife.
Paige Desorbo
Her friend's sister. Or maybe it was her sister. Whatever, it doesn't matter. Was at a wedding weekend. Like, it was taking place that weekend, and the wedding got canceled day of because the bride's maid of honor walked in on the groom sucking his mom's tit. But back to our gorgeous giggler.
Hannah Burner
Then there's the he hates his mom. And when she calls, he tells her to shut up. Where do we want a guy to be?
Paige Desorbo
I think a man, late 20s on so let's say. So he has a career. He's waking up every day. He's going to a job. We pray. We pray to St. Anthony pays rent In a relationship. I would say speaking to his mom on the phone every other day.
Hannah Burner
Too much, you think? Too much Italian.
Paige Desorbo
I was gonna say three times a week.
Hannah Burner
You're so Italian. No, I think I like, would like. You answer twice a week for a man. I'm speaking every day.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, I'm speaking every day. Are they texting or calling?
Hannah Burner
I would like one call. Okay, but texting whenever.
Paige Desorbo
See, I think that she can text him every day.
Hannah Burner
Yeah, she can text him whenever. A lot of drama comes from parent in laws.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And having sometimes parents. Mother or father in laws. In laws.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
But I guess what happens is the mother is like, that's my son.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And then when the wife comes in, the mom doesn't always want to give boundaries because she's like, that's still my son. Where the wife is like, no, now we have our family, and he has to be there for our family. And he can't be there for you the way he used to be because he's an adult now. And I do think in the Italian culture, it's a little different. Where it's like, we're family. We're always family. You do what your mom needs to do.
Paige Desorbo
I think it's important that, like, if you're dealing with a mom, your boyfriend's mom, who's like, a little kooky, maybe like a little zany, if he recognizes it and says it to you. Like, hey, my mom's like a little quirky. And like, if he's self aware enough, then you're fine. If he has no feelings about it, he's like, what? Like this is normal. Then that's where it's like, this is my. You got to be cautious.
Hannah Burner
What if the mom is fucking great and he has a very healthy relationship to her, but then you have something you really want to do. But he's like, no, my mom wants to do this and I'm going to go with her. How do you feel?
Paige Desorbo
Well, it would depend. This is such hypotheticals.
Hannah Burner
It's both your birthdays.
Paige Desorbo
You're like, what is the thing that I'm trying to do and what does the mom want to do?
Hannah Burner
I do think that sometimes there's power struggles. However, I do think in a relationship, the wife's mother.
Paige Desorbo
The wife's mom, okay, gets everything she wants.
Hannah Burner
You know what I mean? Because it's like, I had a baby. The mom's taking care of it. We do whatever we want. But the husband's mom doesn't have the same rights.
Paige Desorbo
Correct. I think a lot about, like when I go wedding dress shopping in my head. All these years I've envisioned it's just me and my mom. Like, I'm not one of those girls that's bringing bridesmaids. I don't need your guys opinion. I literally need one woman's opinion and it's imdesorbo. Okay.
Hannah Burner
You're like, don't let Hannah Burner near the store.
Paige Desorbo
No, I might bring you. I might bring you just for comedic religion. Yeah.
Hannah Burner
But we don't do that here.
Paige Desorbo
You stick to your jokes.
Hannah Burner
What if we like to dress and this. I don't know the name of the mother in law, my father in law, she goes, it looks a little slutty.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
I'd be like, it's a little too much cleavage. Yeah, this is.
Paige Desorbo
But then I'm like, is that rude to not invite your future mother in law to wedding dress shopping?
Hannah Burner
We're speaking in such hypotheticals.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, we.
Hannah Burner
Let me say something that in my dream solves everything. My favorite thing in the world was becoming best friends with my man's mom and then turning her against him.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And then we are a unit.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And we're unbreakable.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And it's like, I have your mom now.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
What are you gonna do about it?
Paige Desorbo
Wait till I tell your mom the.
Hannah Burner
Second you look at her eyes and you're like, has he always Been like this. And she's like, yes, I would leave him if I could, but I'm his mother and I'm like, girl, I know. Like, we are bonded. And then if I ever leave him, she brings me up every single.
Paige Desorbo
Can I tell you something? My mom run in, runs into a lot of my ex's moms because moms go to the same place. Moms see each other. Those moms have asked about me for the rest of my ex boyfriend's lives. You know, there's a plethora of them, and it's so every time I hear it, whenever my mom calls me and says, oh, I ran into it, I go. And my revenge lasts a lifetime. My revenge will last years. What was the question?
Caller 1
Hi, Hannah and Paige. Love you. Rock on my. I'm so sorry if I say seven times. My question for you guys is, how do you stop dressing for the male gaze?
Hannah Burner
Very beginning, she started criticizing herself before she even said. She was like, sorry, I'm going to say. So apologize in advance. If you're dressing for the male gaze, you're not going to dress well. Because, let's be honest, straight men don't know how to dress.
Paige Desorbo
So it's not like fashion. She means, like, looking hot. Like, I know when I'm in an outfit and I'm like, I look hot. And I know when I'm in an outfit where I'm like, not one man is going to be like, wow, she looks hot right now.
Hannah Burner
I mean, hot take. And Julia Fox would agree. My thing is, I don't feel more attractive if a man, like, looks at me on the street. Men would fuck warm bread pudding.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
It's not a compliment to me. If a guy thinks I'm hot. That's nice. That's not going to feed my soul.
Paige Desorbo
Right?
Hannah Burner
And I think you should dress what makes you feel confident. Because I've also seen girls dress for the male gaze, and you can tell they're uncomfortable and they can't walk in their heels and they regret it because their feet hurt.
Paige Desorbo
I'm going to be really candid and really vulnerable and open right now. And I feel like I dressed for the male gaze the majority of my life because, like, I wore a school uniform in high school, so college was really traumatizing time. I, like, had to wear an outfit every single day. And of course, like, you want to look hot. You want someone to be like, wow, she's really hot. Like, whatever. So I think when I first was like, oh, I want to wear this outfit, but it's quirky and weird and the men definitely aren't going to get it. It was a transition. I think the way I transitioned into it was making your hair and makeup super sexy and girly. When you're in, like, an outfit that you don't feel is super hot and sexy and girly and that will, like, help you transition. So, like, if you have an awesome blowout with a great, like, curl and you're doing a full, like, eye, it gives. Sexy.
Hannah Burner
Yeah. I think the word is like, yeah, you want to feel sexy. And I actually. My hair, that's why I wear it down. I think my hair is where I feel sexy. And then I can wear dress literally like a boy. A little boy.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
And I. I love that. But I also think if a guy really likes you, he's not gonna not want to be with you because, like, your outfit one day isn't.
Paige Desorbo
There's also, like, I see so many, like, Hailey Bieber's a great example of, like, she'll wear a basketball short and, like a T shirt, and it's not necessarily for the men, but then she'll do a slick back bun and, like, a sick eye wing and it's like, wait, she's hot.
Hannah Burner
Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
So I think that's, like, how you can ease into it.
Hannah Burner
I also think that beauty standards change so much over time. So at the end of the day, do what makes you feel sexy and confident because eyebrows are different every year. Makeup is different.
Paige Desorbo
Also, there's a lot of men that actually do, like, love, like a tomboy. I thought of guys being like, yeah, when you wear a baggy pants and like, a denim button up like that love, you know, so it's. The right guy will actually think you are dressing for him.
Hannah Burner
Yes.
Paige Desorbo
Yes.
Hannah Burner
So we didn't answer it. What's next, Grace?
Grace
Hi, Hannah.
Paige Desorbo
Hi, Paige.
Allie
My name is Allie. I'm from Athens, Georgia. I am a longtime giggler. Huge, huge, huge fan of you both. Love summer house. Paige girl this season. Oh, let's talk. Send me a message. Anyways, my question for you guys is if you could only use one makeup product for the rest of your life, what would that makeup product be? Mine is either eyeliner or mascara.
Paige Desorbo
I love the girls so much.
Hannah Burner
I love the girls so much.
Grace
Wow.
Paige Desorbo
I really want to know what yours is, but I think can we guess each other's? Okay. I think I know what yours is. Some type of lip.
Hannah Burner
Yes. It's lip liner.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
I actually pre newly came across lip liner, like, and I'm newly obsessed with it. As of the last, like, couple years, I used to just wear a lip gloss or just a lipstick. Like a grandma. Yeah. I used to just throw on a lipstick and then like, 10 minutes into.
Paige Desorbo
The day, put your lipstick on and pull yourself up by your beach straps. Put a lipstick on a pig.
Hannah Burner
Wrong quote. I always just put lipstick on, look in the mirror and be like, perfect. And then get to work. Drink one coffee. Lipstick's gone the whole day. I don't have anything on my lip, but I think I do. I don't mean to sound cunty.
Paige Desorbo
Okay.
Hannah Burner
Is it foundation?
Paige Desorbo
No. You just picked the, like, the number one thing. Oh, you didn't want to cover up your whole face. I was just gonna walk out with foundation and nothing else. I'd look insane. I look insane.
Hannah Burner
Freckles? No, that's just sometimes. Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
Paige Desorbo
There's only a couple things.
Hannah Burner
What, a blush?
Paige Desorbo
No.
Hannah Burner
Eyebrow pencil.
Paige Desorbo
Yes.
Hannah Burner
You already have the darkest eyebrows. You do not need eyebrow pencil.
Paige Desorbo
I need an eyebrow.
Hannah Burner
No, you don't.
Paige Desorbo
Okay, in between eyebrows and a mascara. I feel like that is the closest thing we've had to a fight. Okay, next question. Next caller.
Hannah Burner
Next caller.
Paige Desorbo
Hey, guys.
Caller 2
Long time giggler. Love you guys so much. Question about hair. If you're working out every day, are we washing our hair after every workout? Because I am a sweaty girl and my hair does get very sweaty, so am I supposed to be washing it every day? That seems a lot. Am I not supposed to wash it? And then what am I doing with it? Because it's wet. So do I. Do I blow dry it? Do I dry shampoo? What are your suggestions, thoughts, Opinions?
Paige Desorbo
Thanks. Bye.
Hannah Burner
This is girlhood.
Paige Desorbo
This is.
Hannah Burner
This is our cross to bear. This is actually.
Paige Desorbo
This is actually coming across our desk.
Hannah Burner
I said cross to bar.
Paige Desorbo
And we need to deal. We need to keep our home clean.
Hannah Burner
Yes. We're just speaking in. You guys are really tired. We're speaking just general sayings that have no meaning.
Paige Desorbo
Anytime we sound stupid, you say, pardon us. We're tired.
Hannah Burner
You've been tired since 1992.
Paige Desorbo
We're idiots. Okay?
Hannah Burner
And this is based on my hair, My experience as a greasy, greasy.
Paige Desorbo
This is what works for you.
Hannah Burner
This is what works for me. I'm not doctor. Yeah, no one thought I was, but just emphasize that. Yeah, I think that I never have acne because I wash. I have a shower every night. When I don't shower, my hair is so oily, it gets on my. I get it all here. Showering, like, keeps my Skin clear and doing my hair. Yeah. And also it's. It's good for the demons. You wash the demons.
Paige Desorbo
It actually really is. I've had a lot of psychics tell you to shower more whenever you're feeling uneasy. Like, shower because it.
Hannah Burner
But you're like, I'm hair cycling.
Paige Desorbo
Okay, okay, here's my. Here's my. My advice. Because I'm someone that washes my hair more often than not. And I always got nervous because people are like, oh, my God, you're watching your hair too much. It's actually not good for your hair. That only came in, like, I only started learning about that. And when I was in, like, ninth grade, I was like, we're not all washing our hair every night. Like, middle school every night. You got home, you did your homework, you ate dinner, you took a shower.
Hannah Burner
And you shaved to your knee.
Paige Desorbo
You wash your hair.
Hannah Burner
Yep.
Paige Desorbo
Now, I've tried to hair cycle more and more. Like, when we're on tour, I try and, like, get a blowout, do my hair. So, like, Thursday night, show, great hair. Friday. Okay. Now I'm curling it. Saturday, slick back bun. Sunday we're going home. Maybe another slick back bun. But, like, I try and do it when I can, but some girls, their.
Hannah Burner
Hair texture, they could get a blowout and they're good for a week or two.
Paige Desorbo
Yes.
Hannah Burner
I'm not one of them. My hair is slicked to my eyebrow.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah. Like, and you wash every day.
Hannah Burner
Every single day.
Paige Desorbo
So I think it truly. I don't know if it's a myth that, like, washing your hair too much is bad for it, but I have gone. I've washed it every day, and then I've done phases where I haven't washed it every day. And it's the same.
Hannah Burner
I do have frizzy hair a lot.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah.
Hannah Burner
So after, like a Pilates where my hair is just, like, kind of crazy and I have to go into a meeting, I do love using Tresemme Lamellar gloss. And I just put it on the ends and it just makes everything look, like, look chic.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah. Another tip I have too is Tresemme has a really good dry shampoo. Say you wash your hair, you blow it out, whatever, and you're like, oh, I really don't want to have to wash it tomorrow. Put your dry shampoo in before your hair is greasy.
Hannah Burner
So, like, oh, get ahead of it.
Paige Desorbo
Get it. You get ahead of. Really does work.
Hannah Burner
Wait, we're such women in stem right now.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, we're scientists.
Hannah Burner
Yeah. So every night I'm using the Tresemme shampoo conditioner. And it. Honestly, I feel like it just helps me be, like, cleaner.
Paige Desorbo
And I also feel like I'm known for, like, having very glossy hair, like, very shiny hair. And I truly feel like it is because of Tresema.
Caller 3
Hey, ladies. I've been dating this older guy for about a year and a half now. He is 37, and I'm 28. And I've said I love you to him, and his response was. You've told me that already. His response was not, I love you, too. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Let me bow down to you and kiss your feet. Which is what I really was expecting. I totally thought he would say it back. It's been a while. We've gone to funerals together. So, like, how long is too long to wait until.
Paige Desorbo
Wait, I'm obsessed with the Keglers. Nothing says I love you like a goddamn funeral.
Hannah Burner
She goes, we went to four funerals together. Two of them. I did murder the people.
Paige Desorbo
Couldn't even get a love.
Hannah Burner
Yeah, I sacrificed three friends for this.
Paige Desorbo
Does it say what her name is?
Hannah Burner
No, we're not trying to put her on blast.
Paige Desorbo
No, I just. I didn't know. I don't know. I don't know why I wanted her name. I was going to say Kayla. Say your Social Security break up with him yesterday. Yes. He doesn't. Here's the thing, and I don't want to be harsh. He didn't say it back because he doesn't love you.
Hannah Burner
And you did not have to say it that strong.
Paige Desorbo
No. And that was great. This is. Look at me. We don't know your name because we don't want to put you on blast. He doesn't love you.
Hannah Burner
Oh, my God.
Paige Desorbo
So break up with him. If he loved you, he would have said it first. Okay.
Hannah Burner
I did date this guy once who, like, two months in, I was jumping into an Uber, and he goes, love you, goodbye. And I was like. Knew it. And then he texted me, and he was like, oh, my God, so embarrassing. Like, that was totally by accident. And I was like, it's okay. And it was by accident. And then, like, we never had, like, a real.
Paige Desorbo
Well, did you continue dating?
Hannah Burner
We definitely did, but I don't know if we like doing it because he had intimacy issues for sure, and so did I. But he would, like, accidentally say it all the time. Do you think that's his subconscious or he just. It's like saying, love you, Mom. Oh, no. I called you mom. Bye, Mom.
Paige Desorbo
I don't know, because anyone who said it to me, like early on, I'm like, yeah, Abs, you idiot.
Hannah Burner
Yeah. It's also though, like literal love bombing sometimes literally. I do love a guy that waits a couple weeks.
Paige Desorbo
I think a great time frame is three to six months. Within three to six months of like officially dating. I think if you become boyfriend and girlfriend in three months, in three to.
Hannah Burner
Four months, it should be being said.
Paige Desorbo
And if it's not, it's a little iffy. A year and a half. You, you gotta get out of there.
Hannah Burner
Would you ever say I love you first? I don't think I have the confidence.
Paige Desorbo
Oh, God, no, I don't.
Hannah Burner
I don't have it.
Paige Desorbo
No, I don't have it in me.
Hannah Burner
I couldn't. I mean, the confidence this girl has to not only have that happen to her, but then be like, I went to four funerals and he still. I love how I gave her an accent. I would never say it first.
Paige Desorbo
Yeah, I would never say it first. It's just like there's only a few things men have to do first, and this is one of them.
Hannah Burner
I like, like, love is such a. Everyone has such different. What is love?
Paige Desorbo
And it's the age old question. And we're right back to the beginning. What is love?
Hannah Burner
And that's what we're here today to find out. Let's start from the beginning.
Paige Desorbo
Why are we immediately. Npr.
Hannah Burner
We want to be NPR so bad.
Paige Desorbo
They'd never have us. They never acknowledge us.
Hannah Burner
Now we have a new goal. We manifested. They go, someone got an email wrong. And the giggly squad is now here at npr. Thank you so much for, you know, whenever, you know.
Paige Desorbo
And they have like their. Each year they have like, you have to call in and donate to npr.
Hannah Burner
She's like, I'm in debt. I've been donating hundreds of thousands of their phones.
Paige Desorbo
I don't know, I'm being silly now.
Hannah Burner
Okay, when the guys say love, like, he. I don't know what he means by it, but it's like, I'll match it. Whatever it is, I'll match it. But I'm not falling in love for someone who hasn't already fallen in love with me. That's dangerous behavior. Yeah.
Paige Desorbo
Okay, so our advice is break up.
Hannah Burner
We love partnering with Tresemme and especially their Lamellar gloss. Because being glossy and a glossy giggler means confidence. It means feeling yourself. It's giving 1-800- glossy.
Paige Desorbo
No idea.
Hannah Burner
You have to say it like this. Glossy.
Paige Desorbo
Yes. Wait, that's so good.
Hannah Burner
Thank you Gigglers.
Paige Desorbo
Thank you for listening to this very special episode. Brought to you by Tresemme, Le Meller Gloss Collection and Acast Creative. This was so much fun. We loved doing this.
Hannah Burner
This was an extra special episode. Thank you to the glossy gigglers who hit up the giggly hotline. Tell us if we should do it again. We'll make the episode longer. We just wanted to dabble.
Paige Desorbo
Trez is listening. Thanks.
Giggly Squad Podcast Summary: "Bonus Giggly Gloss Hotline"
Release Date: April 9, 2025
In this special episode of Giggly Squad, hosts Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo venture into uncharted territory by introducing the Giggly Gloss Hotline, a segment inspired by the popular "Burner Phone" concept. This episode diverges from their usual format, focusing on engaging directly with their listeners' questions and providing candid, humorous insights into various personal and cultural topics.
The episode kicks off with Hannah and Paige expressing their excitement about this new format. Hannah humorously remarks, “We’ve never done this before” (00:00), setting the tone for a fresh and interactive session. Paige adds her own flair, highlighting their playful banter and the dynamic they share.
The first question addressed is from a listener named Grace, who asks:
“To what degree do you think is an okay amount for a man to connect with his mom or his mom to be connecting with him? What does that look like, in yalls opinion? And what's too much and what's too little?” (01:58)
Hannah introduces the topic with a humorous anecdote:
“And we all know one side of the spectrum is when you catch your husband sucking on his mom's teat on his wedding day” (02:34).
Paige agrees, sharing a wild story about a wedding incident where the groom's inappropriate behavior led to the wedding's cancellation:
“...the wedding got canceled day of because the bride's maid of honor walked in on the groom sucking his mom's tit” (03:08).
This segues into a broader discussion about maintaining healthy boundaries. Hannah emphasizes the importance of balancing familial ties with establishing one's own family unit:
“It's like, no, now we have our family, and he has to be there for our family” (04:08).
Paige adds cultural context, particularly within Italian families, highlighting the challenges that arise when mothers struggle to set boundaries:
“In the Italian culture, it's a little different. Where it's like, we're family. We're always family” (04:36).
The second question from a listener focuses on personal style and the influence of male approval on fashion choices:
“How do you stop dressing for the male gaze?” (08:11).
Hannah critiques the notion of dressing solely for male approval:
“If you're dressing for the male gaze, you're not going to dress well. Because, let's be honest, straight men don't know how to dress” (08:40).
Paige shares her vulnerability, admitting how societal expectations influenced her dressing habits:
“I feel like I dressed for the male gaze the majority of my life because, like, I wore a school uniform in high school” (09:06).
They collaboratively offer practical advice on embracing personal confidence over external validation, emphasizing the importance of feeling comfortable and authentic in one's attire. Hannah reinforces this by stating:
“Do what makes you feel confident” (11:00).
The third question addresses hair maintenance for those who work out daily:
“If you're working out every day, are we washing our hair after every workout? What are your suggestions?” (13:50).
Hannah and Paige delve into their personal hair care routines, acknowledging the challenges of maintaining healthy hair amidst a busy schedule. Hannah shares her reliance on Tresemmé products:
“I'm using the Tresemmé shampoo conditioner. ... I do love using Tresemmé Lamellar gloss” (16:27).
Paige adds tips on utilizing dry shampoo to extend the time between washes:
“Put your dry shampoo in before your hair is greasy. Really does work” (16:53).
Their conversation highlights the balance between effective hair care and practical daily routines, offering listeners actionable advice to manage oily hair without over-washing.
The final question comes from a listener struggling with unreciprocated expressions of love in her relationship:
“I've said I love you, and his response was... he doesn't say it back. How long is too long to wait until someone says 'I love you'?” (17:13).
Paige bluntly advises:
“He doesn't love you. So break up with him” (19:02).
Hannah shares her own experiences with premature declarations of love, underscoring the importance of mutual emotional investment:
