Hair Care and Skin Care Secret: “Going into Fashion Week it’s always just good to keep a clean face and make sure your hair is combed back—just keep it pretty simple. I’m pretty old fashioned with my skincare. I’ve been using Noxema since like the sixth grade. And for my hair I use like a Family Dollar brand protective hair product when I flat iron. After all the shows it’s good to deep condition and give your hair a little special treatment because it is kind of tense.”
