with Lauren and Shanequa: Love and hair!

Radio 1's Life Hacks

Available for 19 days

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris dive into what love really means to you. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we want to if you prefer grand gestures to the everyday acts that speak loudest - are you an airport pick-up romantic, a 'made you a cup of tea' kind of lover, or someone who shows care in quieter ways? We’ll be talking love languages, modern romance and how you’re choosing to celebrate this year - whether that’s with a partner, your friends at Galentine’s, or by showing yourself a little extra love. We're joined by Dr Emma to break down the science, myths and must-knows of good haircare! Our hair is more than just 'hair'. We’re talking routines, rituals and real-life tips for maintaining healthy hair across all textures and types, from afro hair to everything in between. What products, practices or hacks have actually worked for you, and how do you keep your mane thriving? Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
