Episodes

Fergie, Bear, and Fermenting the Good Stuff 28.08.2026

Before the science, the sentimentality: Michelle and Monica open up about the stuffed animals that survived childhood (and the ones that didn't, RIP Tessa's E.T. doll). Then the conversation turns to what actually matters for your hair — why FermaGlo's plant-derived polyquats and fermentation-assisted ingredients work with your hair instead of coating it in plastic like so many &quo...

Is This Thing On? We’re Not Really Sure. 21.08.2026

Welcome back to Hair It Ferst, where today’s episode is brought to you by technical difficulties, questionable microphones, and the sheer determination to hit “record” anyway. This week, the girls attempt to record an episode while computers malfunction, microphones crackle, Tessa turns into a robot, then a chipmunk, Monica’s microphone is literally just for decoration, and Michelle’s laptop someh...

Your Scalp Is Disgusting. We Have Pictures. 😂 14.08.2026

Nobody warned us that looking at your scalp under a microscope could be this humbling. Monica has officially entered her head-spa era, and she is discovering that people who think their hair is “really clean” may want to think again after seeing what’s happening underneath all that hair. The girls dive into scalp buildup, hair health, fermented products, and why your expensive salon color may be b...

Put Your Big Girl Pants On... Or Just Wear a Thong 31.07.2026

Welcome to the McKinney, Texas edition of Hair It Ferst, where the furniture is being rearranged, the bar isn't open yet, everyone is recruiting new customers, and Tessa may or may not be one bad decision away from needing bail money. Ashley and Adam Cleaver join the conversation to talk about their journey with the company, the life-changing experience of discovering good shampoo, and what i...

The Thermostat Wars: Three Women, One Room & Zero Chill 24.07.2026

 After six weeks apart, the Hair It Ferst girls are finally reunited—and apparently the first order of business is deciding who gets the blanket and who gets the fan. Monica is experiencing surgical menopause, Michelle is freezing, Tessa is trying to survive the chaos, and somehow the conversation goes from Five Below and karaoke road trips to surprise attacks via group text, espresso martinis, an...

From Cruise Ship Chaos to Tapeworm Talk 26.06.2026

What starts as a normal conversation somehow turns into: 🚢 Cruise ship nightmares 👽 Alien theories ♍ Zodiac compatibility 🪱 Parasite cleanses 💊 Hormone talk 😂 And complete squirrel-brain energy Welcome to Hair It Ferst. #FunnyPodcast #WomenWhoPodcast #CruiseStories #ConspiracyTalk #ComedyClips

We Started Talking About NASA… Then EVERYTHING Fell Apart 19.06.2026

One minute we’re discussing the moon landing… the next minute we’re talking about aliens, Kung Fu Panda, Harvard dreams, EpiPens, Disney trips, and conspiracy theories about literally everything. Typical Hair First Podcast behavior 🤷‍♀️ In this episode:  NASA & moon landing theories   Viral TikTok conspiracy culture   Big Pharma & natural health discussions   Could there be life beyond Ea...

Camel Attacks, Swinger Pineapples & Is Garth Brooks a Serial Killer? 12.06.2026

This episode goes completely off the rails in the best possible way. The girls welcome “The Beard” to the podcast and immediately spiral into separate bedrooms, upside-down pineapples, first-date fistfight stories, camel attacks, conspiracy theories, and whether Garth Brooks might secretly be living a double life as Chris Gaines. Also discussed:  Why married couples may actually need separate bedr...

Hairdressers, Hailstorms & Matthew McConaughey Bedtime Stories 05.06.2026

 This episode starts with tornadoes and totaled windshields… and somehow ends with Matthew McConaughey whispering everyone to sleep. The girls talk terrifying airline chaos, hotel sleep rituals, box fans in Dallas, hairstylist burnout, AI hair expectations, and why your stylist probably deserves a raise. Also: why every salon owner is one broken washer away from losing it completely. 

Don’t Show Your Stylist Photos Through the Bank Window 29.05.2026

 In this episode, the ladies vent about clients texting at 1AM, grocery store consultations, and the emotional damage caused by people asking for appointments off the clock. Also included: crying dogs, disc golf shade, “meet and greet” panic, and a very serious discussion about slumber party sleeping arrangements in Dallas. 

We Started Talking About Youngblood… Then Somebody Admitted Flashing Axl Rose 22.05.2026

One innocent conversation about a TikTok-famous rocker turns into one of the wildest Hair at First episodes yet. The girls discuss:  Why middle-aged women are obsessed with Youngblood   Rock stars from the ‘80s and ‘90s   Concert hookups and backstage chaos   Legal weed and parenting concerns   Social media rules for kids   Why today’s generation could never survive beauty school in the 2000s  And...

We Had Topics Planned... Then Accidentally Got Deep 15.05.2026

What started as tanning pools, Zoom-call disasters, and shaky pudding arms somehow turned into one of the realest conversations we’ve had yet. This week the girls talk burnout, friendship, negativity, learning to speak up, pandemic salon memories, and why finding your people matters more than ever. Also: Tessa may or may not have flashed a Zoom meeting once. Typical Hair It Ferst behavior.

Greenwashing, Cheeto Crimes & The Toast That Won’t Die 08.05.2026

 This week on Hair It First , we dive into greenwashing—what it is, why it’s everywhere, and how brands might be fooling you with “clean” claims. But don’t worry, we keep it real (and a little unhinged) with debates about flaming snack foods, a piece of toast that refuses to mold, and whether “ammonia-free” actually means anything. If you’ve ever questioned what’s really in your products—or just w...

Apocalypse Plans & Shampoo Scandals 01.05.2026

 The girls kick things off planning their dream bunker (complete with slides and millionaire budgets), but quickly derail into a passionate—and hilarious—rant about hair products, buildup, and why mixing cheap shampoo with the good stuff is basically a crime. Come for the doomsday prep, stay for the unexpected masterclass in reading ingredient labels. 

Dolphin Cities, Moon Landing Debates, & a $1,200 Starbucks Crisis 24.04.2026

 What do dolphins, NASA, and fraudulent Starbucks charges have in common? Absolutely nothing—and that’s exactly why this episode works. The girls spiral from wild dolphin conspiracy theories into heated debates about the moon landing, school half days, and the modern banking nightmare. It’s unfiltered, unpredictable, and unintentionally hilarious… just the way we like it. 

Why We Switched to Fermented Haircare (And Never Looked Back) 17.04.2026

In this episode of Hair It Ferst, we’re diving into the product that brought us together—Fermaglo. From fermented ingredients to real results behind the chair, we break down what makes this haircare line different from anything else on the market. We talk about: What fermented haircare actually means Why “clean” products often don’t perform (and how this one does) Real transformations we’re seeing...

Family Trees, Fake Cows & Sex Chocolates 10.04.2026

 This episode is a full-blown rollercoaster. From Tessa getting emotionally wrecked by a fake miniature cow situation (we’re still not over it), to Glowcon karaoke plans getting wildly out of hand, to a deep dive into ancestry surprises and family chaos—this one has it all. Oh, and somehow we end up researching “sex chocolates” and making it worse. As always, we promise nothing… except laughs, ove...

Purpose, Shampoo, and the Boy in the Plastic Bubble 🫧 03.04.2026

Grab a coffee and settle in with Tessa, Michelle, and Monica as they talk about the messy, funny, and meaningful moments that led them to join FermaGlo. Between allergies, motherhood chaos, and honest talk about clean beauty, this episode is a reminder that purpose can show up right when you need it most. ✨ Disclaimer: The hosts are not medical professionals. Nothing shared in this podcast should...

Salty Stylists, Card Games & Behind-the-Chair Truths 27.03.2026

Plus, a deep dive into how different stylists approach consultations, communication, and techniques (including some surprising methods you won’t expect...

Foils, Feral Energy & Questionable TikToks 20.03.2026

We’re talking: Why hairstylists actually go to school (shocking, we know) The plastic-coated hair trend nobody asked for Why your foils are heating up And the reality of what’s actually in your “cheap” products Add in beef curtain jokes, hot tub chaos, and zero filters… and you’ve got yourself...

Things Got a Little... Meaty. 🥩 13.03.2026

This episode serves up a conversation that’s unexpectedly meaty — and not just in the way you think. From side comments that spiral into full-blown debates to the kind of off-the-cuff remarks that only this crew can turn into comedy gold, the laughs just keep coming. It’s hearty, it’s hilarious, and yes… it gets a little meaty.

It Wasn't a Joint... It Was a French Fry 06.03.2026

From menopause brain fog and forgotten leftovers to a car wreck, a hoodie-pocket “joint,” and the plot twist of the century (it was a French fry), this episode covers it all. The girls dive deep into the realities of working motherhood, impossible schedules, insurance runarounds, and why nine-to-five jobs don’t work for most moms. The conversation heats up with a brutally honest take on hairstylis...

The Cheese Grater Won & Other Lessons in Clean Living 27.02.2026

What starts as a missing knuckle courtesy of a cheese grater turns into a wildly honest (and hilarious) conversation about tough love parenting, medical anxiety, clean products, and making real food at home. The girls swap stories about injuries, snow days, screaming kids, homemade dishwasher pods, simmer pots, butter-making, and why real food just hits different. It’s chaotic, educational, and pr...

The Bullsh*t Apocalypse & Other Things We’re Tired Of 20.02.2026

It’s snowing, everyone’s exhausted, and patience is officially gone. In this episode, the girls are joined by fan-favorite Toni Vanschoyck for an unfiltered conversation about burnout, taxes, direct sales frustrations, disrespectful clients, parenting with boundaries, and why society desperately needs to toughen up a little. Somewhere between ranting about mental health days, cussing around kids,...

“Mic Drop, B*tches.” 13.02.2026

This episode goes from Super Bowl chatter straight into the deep end — division, disrespect, and why everything feels so damn hostile lately. The girls unpack how politics have crept into everything , from halftime shows to classrooms, parenting conversations, and friendships. Along the way, they share real-life stories about schools, social programs, homelessness, veterans, and the systems that f...
