Beauty Secrets: "Wash! I Always Wash My Face! I'm wearing a relaxer and color (a subtle purple hue!) on my short hair, so weekly trims really help a lot. It's also important to rember to take some time out to exercise-because it really keeps your energy level up. We have a (fitness) trainer, and he's about to start us running in the morning. We also work out with arm weights and do about 100 crunches daily. I'm a firm believer in facial masks, and tweezing eyebrows, always making your face look fresh and clean. "

I didn't miss prom this year because I went with a friend! And I think that's what I really miss: the social part of school. With a career like ours, having a boyfriend is really hard because sometimes guys don't really understand your schedule. You have to thave ahuge amount of trust; you have to trust that person tand just know that they won't hurt you."
Special activities she would do at school if she has stayed: "No sports, I would be a choir girl". Realationship Situation: On a rebound
Hair Secrets: "I get trims weekly. That's the good thing about short hair: When you cut it, it grows right back," offers the singer. She conditions and adds shine to her mane with the help of Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Herbal Aloe Therapy Creme. "One thing I love doing when I'm at home is to apply some Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Botanical Oil on my scalp." adds Kelly. "Sometimes my hair will get dry from traveling so the oil really helps it. I really like my short hair--it makes me different from everybody else in the group. I get trims weekly. Thats the good thing about short hair. When you cut it, it grows right back. Im wearing a relaxer and color so the trims really help out a lot. For hair care, one thing I love doing when Im at home is apply some Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Botanical Oil on my scalp. Sometimes my hair will get dry from traveling so the oil really helps out. Kelly wears short hair extrodinaire. This easy look can be achieved with a short cut and a wrap set. The hair is beveled all over with a small curling iron, and a soft spiked bang is created to frame the face. When it comes to my hair, I believe in a good conditioner. I think that it is the secret to long, lasting beautiful hair. I also recommend facials. Facials are really good for the skin. Right now, Im using th enew Rock. Have you ever heard of it? They have a cleanser, toner and moisturizer. I also use Kiehl's dry soap. Well, actually its a little easier when you have short hair, expect when it gets closer to the time I have to go get a perm. My buckshorts start nappying up! I get a perm every month. The reason I have to get it so often is because my hair grows so fast and Im always cutting it. That keeps the hair so healthy. I like keeping it short. Im letting it grow out a little bit.
