For this year’s April Fools escapade, Hair Syrup has been ranked amongst prodigies, from Dyson to Heinz and Crocs. In the Herculean saga of the retailer who stole their stockist Social Media Manager - in the famous words of Linda from The Traitors, “who the hell is not going to come back?!” In the same vein, what is coming to the Hair Syrup shelves?
In the background from London to Leeds, the team was pre-heating some controversial content for the 1st of April. A suggestive job posting, a Leeds-based opportunity and a heartbreaking public announcement to TikTok of our Social Media Manager Lucy’s unexpected departure. This provoked a catalyst of onlooker conspiracy theories and speculation, amassing over 3 million views in less than 24 hours with everyone wondering the same thing - what is truly going on? Even our soon to be COO joining the Welsh office was fooled. Might I add, he’s a former professional poker player.
In an unforeseen bombshell development to the disbelief of our audience, Lucy was identified by eagle-eyed internet sleuths cladding a high-vis for a Daedalian new employee reveal… with the Just My Look social media team - one of Hair Syrup’s long term retailers. The Just My Look content only added to the labyrinthian friction. Minus one small detail… the fact the stunt was an undecipherable 4-day April’s Fools ploy. Can we add actresses to our CV’s now?
We can’t get enough of April Fools here at the Hair Syrup office. Lucie hosted a momentous Masterclass in Dividends at The 2025 UK Shareholder Summit. The location fell nothing short of ironic at Reject’s House, Dragon’s Hill - if you’re not already sick of the Dragon’s Den references. If you haven’t noticed already, this glaringly never happened.
Championing tangible, purposeful connections with people is paramount and at the heart of our brand. The collective onset heartbreak is testament to the close-knit relationship we have cultivated with our community. As part of the employee-generated content ascent with viewers hooked, comments swayed from “Lucy is Hair Syrup I don’t accept this” to “I don’t believe it!”, and “Lucy will always be a part of Hair Syrup”. If you join our TikTok livestreams often, you’ll know we cherish conversing with our regulars and vice versa, with our regulars acquainting every team member, from livestream hosts to those in the warehouse! Camaraderie in our customer’s route to healthier hair is cardinal to us - so we adopt any opening to be playful on our page with liberty.
We have to give credit where it’s due, we couldn’t finesse you all. Therefore, to show our gratitude for indulging in our mischief, we extended 20% off the entire website with the code ‘Lucy’ - the employee zealously committed to the role of the poached employee. Our warehouse is officially working in overdrive!
To celebrate the positive news of Lucy’s official stay at Hair Syrup, shop her current routine! Commencing with the heavy-duty foundation of Scalp Superfoods, deeply massaged into her scalp with the Shampoo Scalp Brush to nourish the scalp and fortify the hair. The syrup is infused with lime essential oil alongside 12 natural, nutrient-rich ingredients, including açai, coconut, kiwi, marshmallow root, chia and blueberry to give her hair a well-deserved drink. She then administers Zen on her lengths and ends for deep conditioning in an aromatherapy-esque syrup penetrated with lavender, oat and hemp - entwined with our whipped hair mask Buttercream combining shea butter, mango butter and cocoa butter working to reignite dull, lack-lustre strands.
Haircare doesn’t conclude with products alone, it also extends to tools. After gently drying her hair with the microfibre hair towel, Lucy’s go-to leave-in oil is Rose Bloom, a protein-rich formula infused with adaptogenic botanical extracts; blending rose over a finetuned base of vanilla, marshmallow, and candied notes to lock-in moisture. At Hair Syrup HQ, we religiously use and interchange our leave-in oils, but Lucy’s favourite may be subject to change with a widely anticipated upcoming launch…
If you’re on your haircare hunt, beeline to Just My Look to get your Hair Syrup fix alongside all your beauty favourites. The back and forth internet beef was *surprise revelation* solely to promote the exclusive launch announcement of a product we’ve been teasing incessantly across social media and previous blogs… the Very Cherry! A Vitamin-Boosting Leave-In Hair Oil, coming soon this May! Launch party pending?
