In “These Are the Good Hair Days“, Heather explores the deep link between hair health, confidence, self-esteem and self-expression with hair care experts Melissa Marino and Isle Chevalier.Together, they unpack why hair isn’t just about beauty—it’s about agency. From hormone-driven hair loss to healing and recovery, they share real solutions rooted in ingredient integrity, scalp science, and open conversation. Melissa brings insights from Japanese haircare traditions that prioritize the scalp as the root of it all, while Ayal reframes extensions as restorative tools, not vanity fixes.
This episode cuts through the greenwashing and marketing fluff to remind us: when you feel good about your hair, you show up differently. The whole Rockstar Blends ethos - Feel Good. Look Good. Do Good. - depends on it.
Because taking deep care of your hair is more than a ritual and great hair days are always about more hair — they’re about how you feel when you walk into the room, and what you get done when you’re in there.
Episode Highlights
you feel fucking fabulous
"...when you have a good hair day, you feel fucking fabulous. So let's not make any bones about that."
nothing that makes you feel better
"That's really why we do this. It's just to boost a woman's confidence. There's nothing better. There's nothing that makes you feel better."
extensions will protect your hair
"The extensions are just, what can we do in the interim until we figure out what is really causing the hair loss? So for now, we'll do extensions. And if done properly, extensions will protect your hair. So think of somebody with collarbone length hair, and we're going to add 4 to 5 inches. Now, when they're using a curling iron or a flat iron, they're mainly curling that bottom part. That's not their hair."
healthy hair starts from the scalp
"I do believe that healthy hair starts from the scalp. And again, having worked with Isle and seeing her clientele come in, she has had people specifically come to her for extensions because they've had other stylists damage their scalp."
have honest conversations with their clients
"One of the things that I feel like we're seeing in our industry is people without experience or care getting into these very advanced techniques, and they're not able to have honest conversations with their clients. They're not able to say no to people or not right now, or maybe they don't know the right questions to ask or have the right knowledge or understand that there's not just one puzzle piece to this."
