That takes care of the hair, now let's get to Olivia herself.
Q: Curly or straight?
Olivia: Curly. Always! It depends on the look, but I really do like volume in my hair, and it's easier to get that with curls. But sometimes I go straight if I am going for a more sleek look, like if I am wearing leather or trying to be more of a punk-rock chick. But curls are more easy, breezy, bouncy, which is more of my personality.
Q: Guilty pleasure?
Olivia: I love ice cream. Mint chocolate chip. I limit the amount I eat, because, you know, you can have too much of a good thing. But after the Miss USA pageant, I will definitely have some.
Q: Who's your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
Olivia: Oh my God—I like to follow FatAmy, which is Rebel Wilson's character from the movie Pitch Perfect. Really funny.
Q: Who is your style icon?
Olivia: I have so many. I love classic Audrey Hepburn, Victoria Beckham, Kate Middleton.
Q: What's the longest you've gone without styling your hair?
Olivia: I went to an all-girls school in high school, so getting ready every day was not a priority. I would literally roll out of bed every day.
What's your favorite backstage beauty tip?
Olivia: I like to do this thing sometimes when my hair is dirty—I go with a sleek ponytail, like tight, tight, tight. So if you don't have time to wash it and dry it, it's perfect. That's my dirty little secret.
