We enjoyed it for every minute.
I shed many a tear, but many a happy tear as well.
Mouser’s experiences on the show were formative in other ways too.

Beyond becoming IRL family with theCobra Kaicast, she became a bit of an on-set curly-hair whisperer.
I was like, Oh my God, your hair freezes up exactly like mine did in the humidity!
I think you might have curly hair!

Mouser has since taught several of her colleagues how to embrace their natural texture by using her curly-hair-care method.
Glamour:How have you been feeling since the first five episodes ofCobra Kais sixth season dropped?
Mary Mouser:It’s a little wild.

It’s always really fun.
It feels like giving a gift, like, Hey, this is this thing we’ve worked on.
I really hope you love it.

I really enjoy hearing all of it.
What are you excited for viewers to see in this next season?
Can you hint at anything?
I finally get to see reactions.
Episode five was one of my favorite fights that I’ve ever gotten to film on the show.
So it was really wonderful to get to have this moment of connection with her.
It felt like we got to put our hands in and be like, Okay, go team!
What are your postCobra Kaiplans?
Id love to talk a little bit about beauty and lifestyle.
What are our favorite beauty trends right now?
I love and I’m really grateful for the trend of wearing your natural hair texture.
So it was just the cycle that I hated.
Those take longer than they did when it was just shampoo, get out of the shower.
When did you figure this out about your hair?
Between seasons one and two of filmingCobra Kai, I figured out [my hair is curly].
I was like, Oh my God, your hair freezes up exactly like mine did in the humidity!
I think you might have curly hair!
And they’re like, Oh yeah!
It’s so annoying!
So I told them to try these methods.
Take what works and leave what doesn’t.
That’s my philosophy on all of it.
But what worked for me was cutting out as much heat as possible on my hair.
And without the sulfates, I couldn’t strip the silicones out of my hair.
Without the silicones, the sulfates were too stripping on my hair.
So sulfate-free, silicone-free, and as little heat as possible works for me.
I also only brush my hair when I’m in the shower.
I really like the brand in general.
Their products smell super good, first of all, which, again, is really important to me.
I’m a Taurus, so Im lazy and luxurious.
Those are my standards.
I love the OSEA Ocean Gel Cleanser as my face wash. Plus, it smells like Skittles to me.
For morning moisturizer, I use Grown Alchemist Hydro Repair Day Cream.
I also attempt to use as little plastic as possible.
I attempt to do anything I can do to lower my waste footprint.
Same with the Grown Alchemist moisturizer.
It comes in, like, an aluminum tube, so it’s easier to recycle afterward.
And then at night, it’s the Drunk Elephant moisturizer.
I also love the Drunk ElephantD-Bronzi Sunshine Drops,O-Bloos Rosi Glow Drops, and now theB-Goldi Illuminating Drops.
Those are my other ways of traveling with makeup that’s super versatile.
I love the Pley Date All Over Color Stick that, again, I use for everything.
I plop my hair with a T-shirt instead of a towel!
Theres a small brand that I really love.
What they make are these easier versions of a T-shirt for the hair plop.
Its a brand called Moonstone Seven.
People were looking at it from this nostalgic angle from day one.
We’ve had nostalgia under our belt.
But if there’s anything thatCobra Kaihas taught me, it’s that it never dies.
It’s never really a goodbye.
Samantha will always be with me.
And I’ve watched Ralph [Macchio].
We love it a lot.
So I don’t think it’s going anywhere from my heart.
