Tell Her
Tell Her - Extraordinary Ordinary Women
In Tell Her, I sit down with inspiring women, many of whom I’ve met as clients in my hair loss clinic, to explore their incredible life journeys. Each guest reflects on what they would tell their past, present, and future self if they could offer her heartfelt advice.
Our conversations shine a light on the resilience and strength of ordinary women doing extraordinary things. From navigating health challenges to surviving domestic abuse, undergoing treatments, and balancing work amidst adversity, these stories reveal the courage and wisdom that often go unnoticed.
Join us for real, raw, and uplifting discussions that celebrate the beauty of perseverance and the power of shared experiences.

Empowering Every Strand: Heat Styling with CLOUD NINE's Marie Nieuwoudt
In this enlightening episode, we sit down with Marie Nieuwoudt, Global Ambassador and Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE, to explore the power of heat styling—and how it can be used as a force for good in hair care. With over 38 years in the hair industry and a deep passion for education, Marie shares her expertise on using heat safely, effectively, and inclusively.
We go right back to basics—because the truth is, many of us aren’t taught the foundational principles when it comes to styling and hair health. It’s often these overlooked basics that lead to damage or long-term issues. By understanding how heat really works, we can take a rounded, safe, and educated approach—empowering both professionals and clients to make healthier choices for every hair type and texture.
We also dive into how CLOUD NINE’s innovation, like their exclusive Revive Mode™ with Axial Vibration™ technology, is transforming the industry. Their commitment to creating tools that work for everyone—no matter the hair type or texture—shows how important inclusivity and care are to their mission.
This episode is all about working with brands you trust—and aligning with companies and stylists who share your ethos and values, so you can take care of your clients with confidence.

ABOUT YOUR HOST — SHARNI KNIGHTON
I’m Sharni Knighton, the creator and host of Tell Her. I was inspired to start this podcast after meeting so many extraordinary ordinary women through my hair loss and wig clinic. I wanted to give these women a space to share their stories and help them realize that what they see as “ordinary” is truly extraordinary.
As an educator, I also train stylists in the hair loss industry around the world — and I’m passionate about showing them who these incredible women are. I believe you should only step into this work if you’re ready to truly help and connect with the women you serve.
