Face Forward - Unfortunately, I have no special thing. I wash my face with soap and water. I use <i>Dove</i>, and sometimes I have a <i>Cetaphil</i> cleanser that I use. I always either use <i>Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid</i>, or <i>Lancôme Bienfait Multi Vital SPF 30</i>. It keeps my face feeling nice and moisturized.

Blonde Ambition - My stylist tells me that my hair is a ‘select blend of colors,’ which is really her way of just not telling me. She mixes several brands and about three different colors to achieve the shade at the top. With my hair being super short, I don’t mind using color.

Long & Luxurious - When my hair is longer, I don’t use blondes like that. I don’t suggest anyone with long hair and a perm go blonde. It works for me with short hair, because any time it gets a little mangy on the ends, we just snip them off.

Kandi's Creamy Crack - My stylist relaxes my hair with PHYTORELAXER. If possible, I’m in the salon two or three times a week. With short hair, you really need to keep it up.

Tags Boutique - Everything in the store is a quality piece, but it’s not as expensive. The men’s clothing is a little more expensive because they tend to wear name-brand jeans, but we still price it a little more affordable than if they were to go and get it at another store.

Shine Goddess - To make the sides look really glossy, I use &lt;i&gt;KeraCare Dry & Itchy Scalp Glossifier&lt;/i&gt;. It makes dark hair glisten. [I use] just a little... It drives me nuts when someone else does my hair and they get to spraying all of that stuff in it, because that blonde section will break right off.

Kandi's Beauty Tip - When I do my own makeup, I don’t put a lot of foundation on the bottom of my face. When you start “getting grown,” like myself, you start to get smile lines. When you wear heavy makeup, it sits in the creases and makes you look crazy.

Makeup Tips - When you do your own makeup, focus on your eyes and blend it out, but don’t put all of that heavy foundation on the bottom half of your face. You won’t have a problem with creasing, which just makes you look older.

A Must-Have - I have naturally dark circles under my eyes. I always have since I was a kid. I recently came across a new concealer that I love called &lt;i&gt;AmazingCosmetics AmazingConcealer&lt;/i&gt;. They are great! You can purchase it at Sephora. Let me tell you, it is amazing. Mine lasts all day when I do it. Don’t put heavy powder over it because it will start to crease. Use a small amount.
