Hair might be the biggest quarantine issue on people's minds this week—they're dyeing, bleaching, shopping, cutting bangs and making other various extreme follicle choices without hairstylists around to tell them "no." However, two people who appear to be doing just fine in that department are TV hosts Ryan Seacrest and Ben Mulroney. Ben (and his household's latest furry addition) appeared on Live with Kelly and Ryan (weekdays at 9 a.m. ET on CTV) for their "The 'I' in Isolation" segment April 15 and the two just couldn't get over each other's hair.“On behalf of all your Canadian fans, I want to thank you for proudly showcasing your pandemic coif. It is a sight to behold,” Ben announced after Ryan complimented his quarantine look. “I firmly believe in the coming years it will be studied intensely both for its structural soundness as well as its cultural resonance.”[video_embed id='-1']Ben Mulroney chats on 'Live! with Kelly and Ryan' during their "I" in Isolation segment[/video_embed]While Ryan's "magnificent" hair is somehow magically defying gravity (hair that length shouldn't logically be able to keep that kind of vertical volume), Ben himself has been keeping the people apprised of his own hair situation. He provided an update at the end of last week where he explained the "feat of engineering" that's been keeping his growing mane in check."I get my hair cut every three weeks on the day," he explained on Your Morning. "Every day I wake up, I look in the mirror and I say, 'Let's get to work.' When it's short it takes like three minutes—this is so much work... wait until May! It starts looking like Ace Ventura."[video_embed id='1937732']Ben Mulroney reveals the struggle of keeping his hair in check during this pandemic[/video_embed]For now at least, both Ben and Ryan have been successful at keeping the hair looking 100.The hosts also got reminiscing about their long-standing friendship. While Ben and Kelly go way back in front of the camera—he's hosted episodes of the the show in Canada and NYC—Ben and Ryan's connection is one cultivated behind it. Specifically, on the Oscars red carpet."We see each other on an annual basis at the Oscars because before I started working with you, Kelly, and moved down the carpet, we were literally hip-to-hip next to each other," Ryan explained. He then admitted that when Ben would do interviews for etalk before Ryan got to chat with the celebs walking the carpet, he would listen in for good material he could potentially use. Scandalous.Of course, all good things come to an end, and this appearance came to a kind of abrupt one when Ben's video feed froze, leaving him stuck in what Ryan kindly referred to as a "meditative image." Kelly, as all of us are wont to do, was quick to take a photo of her friend's frozen face. Hey, technical difficulties happen and, really, the best way to handle them is with a little humour.Watch Live! with Kelly and Ryan weekdays at 9 a.m. ET on CTV.[video_embed id='1939821']BEFORE YOU GO: Amy Schumer reveals funny reason she changed her son’s name[/video_embed]
