Episode 10: The Olaplex Lawsuit Scandal and Hair Care in the Wellness Industry

In this week's episode we talk about how hair care fits into wellness, the parallels between "clean" ingredients in food and cosmetics, the current Olaplex lawsuit, and much, much more. On February 9th, 2023 a class action lawsuit was filled towards Olalplex where 28 women claimed that the products left them with severely damaged hair. We then dive further into how companies need to be more transparent with customers and how to avoid falling into the wellness trap. After all there's a deeper lesson we can learn from a scandal!
