Any kind of ’90s playlist. I love a good playlist on Amazon Music or Google Play.
Do you have any particular favorite songs or artists to start the night off?
You know, the Spice Girls always put me right back in the ’90s. Spice Girls, ’90s Britney Spears—or was that early 2000s?
She started in the late ’90s!
It’s funny, the late ’90s and the early 2000s kind of blend together for me because I was like 9 and 10, you know?
The Backstreet Boys for sure started in the ’90s.
Yes, the Backstreet Boys! I get really thrown back when you get into like a Lyft or an Uber and they’re blasting the Backstreet Boys.
Yes! Okay, let’s move on: Your hair is gorgeous. What do you do to keep it in such great shape?
Olaplex, Olaplex, Olaplex. Especially while I’m coloring it. Also, hair masks are kind of a new thing for me. I never, ever used hair masks until about a year or two ago. But I’ve been coloring my hair since I was 16, so the addition of masks to my routine has changed everything. Now that I’m blond, I’ve been using the Christophe Robin purple hair mask. It’s really great. It helps keep the brassier tones and the yellow out of my blond.
I was going to ask if switching from brunette to blond has changed your routine…
That’s been new for me, the Christophe Robin. It’s used the same way as Olaplex, so I’ll try to do Olaplex maybe twice a week and do the purple mask once a week. I leave it in for 30 minutes, and it really cools out the blond. I prefer my blond a little bit cooler because I’m so fair.
What about in terms of styling your hair? Are you a wash-and-go person?
I’m useless when it comes to styling my hair. I just brush, put something that keeps flyaways down, and I’m out the door. If I’m going out somewhere sometimes I’ll throw…actually, I’m obsessed with the T3 curling wand. I’ll just throw a couple curls in my already air-dried hair with the curling wand.
How much time do you spend getting ready?
Fifteen to 20 minutes. I like to pick my clothes out the night before. My skin care routine is really simple. I try to use just a few products. Basically, I use Cetaphil’s cleanser and Vintner’s Daughter Botanical Oil. I’ll put on some sunscreen and maybe a little bit of concealer, and I’m out the door.
