Jon Bon Jovi and Other Hair Icons (w/ Helen Wallace & Quanita Adams)

This week on the podcast we were joined by lifestyle writer Helen Wallace (@heyheleezy on Instagram) to talk about weird experiments she tried, Tali’s Baby Diary, reality shows and the eternal hotness of Jon Bon Jovi. 

We also chatted to Quanita Adams, the writer and director of Swirl, about the film, everybody’s different hair journeys and why it is important for coloured people to tell their own stories. 

With her inner GPS firmly set on kroes-control, hairdresser Elaine Williams has to navigate tricky and treacherous terrain in the rocky, wild landscape of hair on the Cape Flats. While this path holds the promise of being straight, her journey has many kinks, bends, waves and u-turns, until a new choice presents itself, and Elaine must decide whether she has what it takes to recalculate and forge a new path.
