    ABSOLUTE-ly Kili-manjaro-ing it! : Maxine Laceby

    In an incredibly special SPLIT ENDS LIVE episode, Andrew and Olga speak to Absolute Collagen CEO Maxine Laceby about her hair story,  as she tackles '60 things before 60'. Filmed at a LIVE event with a LIVE audience, launching Andrew's ambitious climb of Kilimanjaro for Kidscape's 40th birthday next year,  Maxine shares her own dramatic story;  how she did indeed summit, but also had to then be "helicoptered off the mountain" after falling on the way down. Nevertheless Maxine is back up again and still insists, "My shorts, backpack and outdoors, that's my happy place."  And, joking it was the collagen that kept her strong, she encourages others too to take up the challenge "You know what, it was glorious!" And it's a glorious conversation too - enjoy!  AND CUT!!!!
