Stop Putting Sh*t In Your Hair — with Boone & Ben of Highland Style

In this episode of Your Day Off Podcast, Corey sits down with Boone and Ben, founders of Highland Style, the clean-beauty disruptors behind the now-iconic phrase: Stop Putting Sh*t In Your Hair.

What started as two friends fed up with toxic, lab-engineered formulas turned into a mission to create prestige products rooted in health, sustainability, and uncompromising performance. From ruined cookware to award-winning products now found nationwide, this story is equal parts grit, curiosity, and conviction.

  • How frustration with toxic products sparked the Highland mission

  • The early apartment-stovetop era and the first Glacial Clay Pomade batches

  • Why clean, earth-based ingredients outperform “chemical soup”

  • The DM to Mad Rabbit’s Oliver Zak that shifted everything

  • Why aluminum packaging is a non-negotiable

  • The truth about preservatives & Yuka scores

  • Why natural doesn’t mean “weak,” especially behind the chair

  • Avoiding SKU overload in a cluttered product landscape

  • Highland’s mission: style without compromise

  • What’s coming in 2026 (conditioner, leave-in, high-hold, and more)

“We resolved to create prestige products that deliver on the promise of style
without compromising on health or sustainability.”

  • Glacial Clay Pomade

  • Glacial Cream

  • Highland Wash
