According to the new Miss Universe 2022, even at the time of the conversation with the magazine, she had not yet washed her hair. In addition, she also admitted that she did not shower every day of the ceremony because she “wanted to keep her self-tan”.
“I wore a lot of updos at the beginning of the pageant. As I progressed, I started wearing my hair down and putting hairspray on and letting it build up,” she recounted. “Because the dirtier the hair is, the nicer and sharper the curls will stay, the truth is that even now I feel so dirty after winning Miss Universe.”
