How long does it take you (on average) to get ready for a show?
"From wet hair to curled hair and bare face to red lips and fake eyelashes, about 40 minutes. But most of the time is taken up by drying my hair. It has to be dried at a low heat because it is so delicate and processed. I use Organix Argan Oil shampoo, conditioner, and then the pure oil. I use a curling iron on show days to get my hair full and bouncy. Otherwise, I try not to put too much heat on it."
