Here's my tip: Have your production hire the best hair stylists on the planet to do your films and commercials, then casually hint about how great it would be to get a trim during lunch break.

I'm the star of the show. I should have a decent haircut.

To be honest with you, I literally don't even know how to style my hair unless I'm doing an event because I rely on hair stylists.

Performing in front of a live audience can be pretty intimidating, so having a full head of hair was important to me.

I'm always trying to push the envelope and go with a different hairstyle that you're not going to see on anybody else. I have a really good grade of hair, and I can do a lot of different things with it.

My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.

People who work with me think I should cut my hair. They say casting directors are less likely to hire me with long hair - that they don't have imaginations and can't picture me looking normal. People literally have conference calls about my head when I'm not around. I mean, obviously I would cut my hair for an amazing part.

You must understand the texture of your hair before you choose a style.

I think it's huge that I'm wearing my natural hair texture on ABC in prime time. As Dr. Rainbow Johnson on 'Black-ish,' I think my hair is part of the reality of this woman's life. She has four children and is an anesthesiologist and a wife. She doesn't have a lot of time to fuss with beauty, so her look is pretty simple.

I am all for trying out various kinds of hair styles. I have even worn a wig earlier in a film where I essayed the part of a woman.
