Jimmy: Welcome back to HotSeatInterviews.com, where we talk about everything that’s hot, new, and debatable! Today, we have an exciting guest joining us, Emma Coulter, a 27-year-old influencer and hairstylist who has recently gone viral for her controversial take on trending birthday hairstyles in 2022.
Jimmy: Emma, it’s lovely to have you here. Let’s jump right into it. Why do you think there’s such an obsession with extravagant birthday hairstyles these days?
Emma: Hi, Jimmy! Thanks for having me. Well, I think social media plays a huge role. Everyone wants that perfect Instagram moment, and sometimes, the hairstyle takes center stage. But it’s not always practical or necessary.
Jimmy: Do you think people go too far with these hairstyles?
Emma: Definitely! I’ve seen some hairstyles that look like they took more time to craft than a wedding cake. It’s beautiful, but it’s important to question if it’s really worth the effort and stress?
Jimmy: Speaking of stress, what’s the most stressful hairstyle you’ve dealt with?
Emma: The vintage Hollywood waves. People underestimate how much time, patience, and hand cramps it requires. It’s beautiful but a beast to tackle.
Jimmy: Which hairstyle do you think is the most overrated?
Emma: I’d have to say the braided bun. While it looks elegant, it’s so overdone now! It’s like the avocado toast of the hairstyle world.
Jimmy: Haha, never thought I’d hear avocado toast and hairstyles in the same sentence. Now, you mentioned the voluminous ponytail. Thoughts?
Emma: It’s a great balance between chic and casual, but if you don’t have naturally thick hair, the extensions can turn into a nightmare after a few hours.
Jimmy: Some might argue that these hairstyles break the bank. How do you respond to that criticism?
Emma: It’s true for some. The products, the time, professional stylists—it adds up. That’s why I suggest good old self-styling tutorials, or even better, experimenting with simpler looks.
Jimmy: Do you have a personal favorite?
Emma: The modern-styled half messy bun. It’s effortlessly stylish and forgiving if you’re in a rush or simply lack the skill for intricate designs.
Jimmy: How do you feel about these hairstyles when it comes to inclusivity and representation?
Emma: That’s a big issue. Many of these popular looks don’t accommodate textured or curly hair. It’s important to see more diversity in hair tutorials and suggestions.
Jimmy: In your opinion, what should be the focus for birthday hairstyles in 2022?
Emma: Personalization and comfort. Find a style that represents you, not just what’s trending.
Jimmy: So, what’s the takeaway here?
Emma: Have fun with birthday hairstyles, but don’t let them overshadow the celebration itself. It’s about feeling good, not just looking good.
Jimmy: Sound advice, Emma. Thank you for joining us and sharing your insights. Until next time, let’s keep the conversation stylish!
