Hair care Secret: “Usually before fashion week, I try to get a perm. This time I wasn’t able to, but someone was able to straighten my roots.”

Kayla Scott

Show: ICB

Agency: Ford Models

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.”
