But there are also some trends that anyone who attended middle school in the late nineties went through. Join Jacki, Courtney and Lana and special guest Mila as they talk all about hair. Oh and by the way, jeans also come up--or shall we call them “hard pants?” Check out Mila's app, Pronti, the only smart wardrobe assistant you'll ever need with the exclusive invite for WDIKT listeners: www.pronti.app/invite Invite Code: WDIKT Original Music By Genevieve Vincent

Tune in to find out whether Jacki, Lana and Courtney still fit into their baby bracelets, and more.
