Hi, I'm Steven.
Hi, I'm Jen.
And we are two people that are good friends
who also care a lot about our hair.
So, we decided to switch hair routines
and see how it looks.
Yeah, so this is Ladylike.
I guess?
And yeah, we're swappin' hair for a day.
Swappin' hair.
It's gonna be great, baby.
Baby. Now merge our heads together to create a baby.
You know when they do that? Yeah.
Turn into a human with super hair.
- [Jen] I'll just Photoshop that.
- [Steven] Oh, okay.
- [Jen] I think that'll be funny.
Hi, Steven!
What's up?
So, I'm Steven, and I actually have a very
weird obsession with hair.
For the first 25 years of my life I didn't know what to do
with my hair and I was very self-conscious.
So that's the thing, like, when you don't know,
you don't want to try 'cause you don't want to,
like, look dumb trying.
I had long hair for a lot of my life.
I cut it really short when I was 19 years old
and I've had, like, different variations of,
like, short haircuts ever since.
And, then I actually did this video where I tried
to turn into a K-Pop star and I dyed my hair blonde.
Professional hair stylist taught me
how to wear my hair with pride.
I think he said, "Treat it like a crown."
If I can just get away with doing the least amount
of effort possible, I will just run with that.
You know why I'm doing this?
Because I do love Jen's hair and I want to see
if it looks better on me than it does on her,
which would definitely be the case.
Oh good, good.
I'm excited to see what it'll look like when I have
Steven's routine that's a little bit more labor intensive.
So, I just went to the bathroom, got my hair wet.
Now, now the magic happens.
First, blow dry.
So, I blow dry it up and then sometimes I'll blow dry out
and then just, like, lie back and...
Now time for the hair straightener.
So, what I'll do with my hair straightener,
I'll grab pieces of hair, like, small parts that I want
to curl up, and I'll just pull it up and curl.
Hot tip about using hair wax.
You don't put it on your palms,
because that's not the part's on your hair.
You put it in your fingers.
So, four fingers, think about that.
You put your gel on your four fingers.
Well, that's good to know. I put my hair gel on my palms.
I used to, too, until she taught me.
So, you got to put it on your four fingers
and then you start to shape.
For the sides, I want them down,
so I use the hair gel that is at the base.
I'll just push the sides down and then, to add texture,
I will twirl the sides.
To keep the front up, I will usually
comb this and then, spray.
Boom.
And you gotta hold it for a few seconds before letting go,
so that it maintains its shape.
I go. Boom.
It is where it needs to be.
Look up, so, look up at this camera.
So, that's what it looks like.
That's what it looks like. (camera clicks)
(lively music)
So, Jen's gonna have this gorgeous hair.
I can't wait to do it on her. This looks really bad.
I think it looks fine.
Does it look fine to you? Okay.
Well, I mean... Yeah.
You know how we are with our hair.
Nobody likes their own hair.
I'm back. I have wet hair.
You want me to show you what I do?
Yeah. I can't wait.
The hair is wet, and, so, obviously,
I would take a towel and I just do this a couple of times.
And, now is when I apply my product.
Steven told me you're not supposed to put it
in the palms of your hands, but I just want to
be honest about what I do.
So, I just put a big honk right here. (duck honking)
I do one of these. I do get it on my fingers.
So, I just do like a sweeping motion.
Get it all in the hair.
And, then I just bat it all down.
Now that my hair's pretty much submissive, and lying flat.
I put another honk of gel. (duck honking)
I just basically run it through...like this.
Yeah, once I'm satisfied with the top,
I just take any excess product and I pat down my sides.
Yeah, it's done.
Wow.
I'm honestly now, like, terrified
of having you do that to me. (camera clicks)
(lively music)
Steven and I, we don't wanna put our hair through too
much today, but tomorrow Steven is gonna do my hair.
I'm gonna do his hair.
I'm so scared now.
I'm so scared. You're gonna look good.
Good morning. It is a new day.
And, I'm gonna get some boy hair.
The first thing is to get the hair up.
I have to blow dry the front for 10 minutes.
So, I'm just gonna...
hairspray right here to get it to hold.
I'm gonna do the back of your hair like I do mine.
Take all the hair and I just twirl 'em in.
So, let's do some hair straightening now.
I'm almost finished.
I'm just gonna add some product
to get everything to stay where it is.
I'm tryin' to go all inward and upward like a crown.
Nice Done. Okay.
We're done? Done.
Okay, can I look at it?
Let's do it. I'm so proud of myself.
Whoa.
Steven.
Look at you. Wow. You did a great job.
This does look very different.
It's not how I necessarily ever pictured my hair looking,
but now that it looks like this, I'm like,
"Yeah, this is cool."
You can at least take some of the tips that I
use for your hair to apply to whatever you want.
I mean, hey, I'm excited to do your hair.
And, then, I'm excited for us to go about our days.
I have Steven's har, and I have my tools.
And, come on in, Mr. Wet Hair.
Mr. Ready to Have a Good Time.
I love being pampered and taken care of,
so you have a lot ahead of you, Jen.
Hair gel in palm. (duck honking)
Make your hands look like you're wearing white gloves.
Go in, and sort of like, you just gotta basically,
just cover the hair with product.
Oh, man. Jen you have no regard for human life, here.
This is definitely gonna look a little different,
'cause your hair is just not as long as mine is.
It's just nowhere near as long. Oh, no. (laughs)
I'm a big believer in swooping to the side.
It doesn't really look like my hair,
but it doesn't look like your hair either.
So, hey. That's good. Change is good.
Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you take a look at yourself.
Just do the big reveal right now.
I mean, (laughs) different.
We were expecting this to be so dramatic.
No, it is dramatic. This is - this is not me.
Sometimes, what works for you,
may not work for somebody else.
And, that is makeup, fashion, style, all in one sentence.
Yeah, man. I mean, that's the lesson.
Let's go. All right.
Let's live our day. (camera clicks)
(lively music and humming)
So, we're goin' about our days.
My hair has fallen a little bit.
Steven's hair has remained fallen.
Sean, what do you think?
Your hair looks like when you did that Asian photo shoot.
Your hair looks like you just took a shower.
I have a photo shoot with Sean in just a second.
I totally forgot about this. I wouldn't have made it today.
(laughs)
Not that I think it's bad, Jen.
Not that I think it's bad. You can think it's bad.
It's all right. I mean, I'm very grateful that you --
'cause, I think this looks cool. (gong sound)
I have to be in a video right now.
So, this hair's gonna be immortalized on camera.
I still am into it, even though it's fallen.
I'll fix the swoop, once we're done shooting,
but, yeah, this is fun.
Did you also spend an hour on this?
- [Steven] I mean, I don't spend an hour on my hair.
That's not what I heard.
So, this is Jen's hairstyle.
Oh, Jen's styling your hair. Oh.
Yeah.
Well, you have the wrong haircut for Jen's hairstyle.
But, I want you to unleash.
I think it's like casual, but at the same time,
I'm like, "I don't think it's working out for you, dude."
Wow. Like, this hair is not --
I'm your friend and I will be honest with you.
We're not friends anymore.
Well, I don't care. (laughs)
Yours looks cool. Like Elvis.
Awe, thanks. Good job Steven.
Hey. And, his also looks cool.
Like Elvis. Like Elvis. (laughs)
We're all Elvis. You have no volume.
What happened to your hair?
- [Jen] Steven did it.
It's very high. It is high.
It's voluminous.
First of all, turn to the side again.
- [Freddie] Wow. - [Kristin] Whoa.
The other way.
- [Group] Oh. (laughter)
It's like a new surprise at every angle.
It really is. Yeah.
- [Jen] What do you guys think of Steven's hair?
It looks like your hair.
I think it looks flat.
- [Jen] It was hard to give it volume.
Okay, so it's halfway through the day, and I,
I keep freaking myself out whenever I walk by,
like, a window and I see myself in the mirror.
Weird thing, too, is like, it looks really bad,
I think, from my vantage point,
but when I see myself from the side angle,
I'm like, "Okay, that could work."
What sucks about this hair,
is that these headphones completely crush it.
(spraying sound)(lively music)
So, I'm here in a restaurant,
but I feel so self-conscious, so...
Sorry Jen.
I can't do this.
So, it's the end of the day and I kept
Jen's hairstyle for 12 hours.
Possibly the most self-conscious 12 hours of my life.
I felt really good today.
People appreciated and noticed when,
you know, someone had tried hard.
So, maybe if I try hard on my hair,
people will notice too.
Which felt pretty good.
It was a fun experience.
I learned that hairstyles don't work for certain people.
So, I'm gonna be happy tomorrow to go back to normal Steven.
I mean, it was nice to get to hang out with my buddy.
So, what a good day. I'd swap hair with him any day.
And, yeah, I guess, you know, when we return back to our
respective hair lives, we'll always have this memory.
(happy guitar music)
