Just a heads up to any of the previous Hair fans! No more Steve Jones 
, but this time hosted by comedian Katherine Ryan and it's on BBC Two.
An amateur hair styling competition, that's all about being fun and creative. Think making a wide brimmed sun hat with customer's own hair, while still attached to her head!
Can't wait.

Not a fan of KR though.
What with splitting an hour show into two half-hour shows at 10PM, messing with the format, and now (probably) not showing it at all in only its second week, it looks like they were already planning on killing the show before it started. It's a pity because it did so well on BBC Three.
I'm sure in the last series there was more technical info, and demos from the professionals/judges.
No cutting yet either!
Having said all that, it is still a must-see for me!
I 100% agree! particularly your last sentiment. I like the two judges, too.

Firstly let me say that out of all the contestants the only one I would trust to do my hair would be Maryia. I thought she created some beautiful styles and although she wasn't necessarily my favourite personality, I do think she deserved to win.
At least if it wasn't to be her, I was glad it was Phil and not Kellie or Marlene, who imo were full of themselves and thought they were better than they were.
However, my main gripe and the reason I am so angry was the judges. What the hell was Alains' obsession with "BIG". Every damn challenge was about "how big it was" - it got beyond a joke.
But in the last challenge when the brief was not to do what they wanted, but completely follow the brides' instructions (which was emphasised by the judges), Maryias' bride said the style she created was EXACTLY what she had asked for, then the judges criticised her and appeared to mark her down for it not being BIG enough and commenting how they thought she should have brought more hair forward. Which part of "follow the brides' instructions did they not understand?
Anyways, feel better for writing it down.
Know what you're saying about Maryia's bride and her hair but in fairness Phil was the one who consistently followed the brief throughout the series and I doubt the result was decided on the final task alone (which he performed very well anyway).
I think he was the deserved winner imho all credit to him for catching on to what the judges were looking for to get max points. In the Victorian hairdo challenge for the new museum character he was the only one who got it anywhere near right. He wasn't always the best in every round but he was certainly the most consistent..
- Make it an hour again please, that worked fine last time.
- More demos/explanations and actual hair cutting
- Keep Katherine as host, she was fine but....DROP THE VOICE OVER MAN - dreadful, seemed to think it was an audition for Come Dine with Me (although to be fair, someone else would have done the script and told him the tone to adopt).
Will try and catch up on the final today, bit disappointed Maryia didn't win as I liked a lot of her stuff, especially the ancient Greek one she did, but well done Phil
I liked her butterfly in the semi final too but the problem was she was often reluctant to leave her comfort zone more so than many of the others.

I didn't watch the first series so can't compare formats, but enjoyed this and hope it comes back again next year.
It makes you wonder what Phil would do given a free hand and no brief to follow or judges to impress. He seems to enjoy braiding and plaiting
