Sarah-Jane Crawford, Hair expert You’ll probably recognise Sarah-Jane from the TV, and if not there, then definitely the radio, thanks to her appearances on MTV, E4, Hits Radio, BBC Radio 1Xtra, E! Network, ITV2 and Channel 4. After becoming a TV presenter in her mid-20s, she believed it was an unspoken rule to wear her hair “long” and “straight”, particularly on camera, and she’d chemically straightened her hair for almost a decade. After finding many products on the market didn’t meet her expectations, Sarah-Jane set about creating her own hair care brand Clean Curls – what she doesn’t know about hair isn’t worth knowing Fast forward to 2020, when all the salons were closed in lockdown, and Sarah-Jane finally began to embrace her natural curls.
