346. We Tried the Viral Japanese Head Spa Taking Over Your TikTok Feed
Description
This week on Uncensored, Hannah and Producer Jas try the viral Japanese Head Spa treatment flooding your TikTok feed. Cascading basin taps, a scalp massage that borders on hypnotic, and the kind of lather ASMR dreams are made of — we road test The Head Spa by Hikari in Melbourne and ask: is it worth the $260 hype?
But first, we’re diving into a hot topic (literally): Is Love Island promoting a dangerous tanning culture? From sunbed confessions to tan accelerators, we unpack how this trend is playing out on social media and what it could mean for Gen Z sun safety.
In Build My Cart, we’re personal shopping for a listener heading off on a Euro summer, with our tried-and-tested picks for surviving 40-degree heat.
Plus, in Stuff We Love, we put Wella Professionals’ new Ultimate Smooth range to the frizz-fighting test… and yes, we have thoughts on The Devil Wears Prada sequel news.
