Shay Mitchell as “The Fixer”

OGX

For example, theOGX Heat Protectant Spray.

That’s one of my favorite products because it protects your hair up to 450 degrees.

So that’s something that I always have in my set bag with me, no matter what."

I used to do that because I was in a rushas we all are, of course.

And then there was another girl who never used serum.

Her ends were so dry and frizzy, and I’m like ‘Me too!’

But now the serum and the oil mist are my go-tos.

In one wash, you notice a difference, I don’t care what your hair key in is.

I just feel like it gives me the shine.

Andfrizz control, especially when you’re in a humid climate, is key.

You don’t get that greasy feeling that I really don’t like.

And it’s like, ‘What do I do?’

When you get your routine down to what works for you, you just stick to it.

So carrying these products in my bag isn’t anything that I really change up.

I have enough bags to carry them, so it’s good!"

Her Go-To Hairstyles

“My favorite hairstyles have to be the effortless ones that still feel polished.

A slick back, loose waves.

I’m on day five of a style from a shoot that I’m just keeping alive.

I kind of have my tricks and tips for doing a certain hairstyle.

I think it’s time, I’m going to cut it.'

That hairstyle [inspired] my current look.

So I must have really liked it!”

I’m really not afraid.

Let’s chop it, let’s dye it, let’s have fun and feel good.

I don’t take it too seriously."
