Despite things being so up in the air lately for Hulu’s hit reality series, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” it’s safe to say that MomTok squad member Jessi Draper is thriving in the chaos. The longtime hairstylist and business mogul-turned-reality star has a lot on her plate. From a fresh move in her home state of Utah to a budding partnership with beauty brand Raw Sugar, Draper is nothing if not booked and busy lately.

As an accomplished professional hairstylist, a partnership with an affordable (yet high-quality) brand like Raw Sugar felt totally natural. She’s a huge fan of anything that keeps your hair in tip-top shape without breaking the bank, and she told us all about her holy grail items from the brand. But that’s not all. She also spilled the tea on the self-care habit she never skips, the K-beauty brand she can’t get enough of, and the best beauty hacks she’s gotten from her fellow cast members. For the full rundown, read on ahead.

PS: Tell us a little bit more about your partnership with Raw Sugar. What are you most excited about?

Jessi Draper: They just have so many different options. They just did a whole rebrand and the packaging is really cute. Everything smells really great. The biggest thing for me as a hairstylist is making sure that it’s not just the hair you’re taking care of, but it’s the scalp you’re taking care of as well. That’s what I love about them — they really focus on scalp health. The Scalp Restore Shampoo ($11) and Conditioner ($11) are what I’ve been using a lot lately. I feel like that’s really helped my scalp and my hair feel a lot better.

PS: What’s something about scalp health that people often overlook?

JD: Doing scalp [detoxing] treatments once or twice a year is really important because there’s so much buildup that can happen with different products we use and chemicals we use. Your scalp can get clogged really easily. Brushing really helps a lot, too.

PS: How would you say your beauty routine has changed since starting the show?

JD: You watch yourself on TV and you realize what works and what doesn’t. Every season we all look a little bit different — maybe a little bit better — but I would say I’ve changed the way I do makeup on camera because colors translate a little bit differently. And, having a makeup artist now. I’m addicted to having my makeup done professionally.

PS: Are there any beauty hacks or tips you’ve picked up from your fellow cast members?

JD: Miranda has the best eyelashes. I remember asking her once what mascara she uses. She gave me her whole routine and I’ve been using all the same things, because it’s amazing. I do use the GrandeLash Serum ($61, originally $68). It’s crazy how, within two to three weeks, there’s such a big difference.

PS: Do you have any holy grail skin-care or makeup items that you’re hooked on right now?

JD: I’ve been using Medicube a lot and they have been amazing. At first, I was kind of nervous, because you never know if [something is worth the hype when] everyone uses it. But I have almost all of their products. Medicube has really transformed my skin. The cleansing pads are really great and they have different ones for different reasons.

One [product] is the PDRN Pink Caffeine Night Wrapping Mask ($24, originally $27). Every time I use that, my skin is so smooth in the morning — I love that one. If I have to do a big glam the next day, I always use that.

Makeup-wise, I’ve been using Charlotte Tilbury’s Kissing Satin Shine Lipsticks ($37) lately and just playing around with the different shades. I’m wearing one called ’90s Pink right now, and it’s been my go-to lately.

PS: Can you share your hair-care tips and extension hacks?

JD: I feel like extensions are a girl’s best friend — whether you need them or not. It’s not even just about length. it’s about fullness. It’s about having your hair hold a style, and extensions help do all that — [they] just kind of elevate things.

Using a good hair serum is my number-one tip for most people because most people struggle with dry hair — especially if you live in a colder climate. Using something to moisturize your mid-to-ends is super helpful.

PS: When you have extra stress going on in your life, what’s a self-care habit you turn to?

JD: Every night, I’m getting in the bath and watching a show, drinking a glass of wine. I do Epsom salt, and then I usually do a bubble bath or a bath bomb. I have one of those trays that I can set on the bathtub, so I have my iPad, my wine, or chocolate [on it].

PS: If you could give your younger self any advice, what would it be?

JD: It’s OK to make mistakes and you’re human, but learn from them. One of the things I’ve been trying to learn lately is to respond, don’t react. Especially in reality TV, we have big emotions — we react. But, I’ve been trying to think and respond instead of reacting on emotion.

Know that you’re going to make mistakes. It’s inevitable, but as long as you’re learning and growing, you’re fine.

PS: Is there anything new you’re working on at the moment that you can share more about?

JD: I’ve been so busy with TV and my businesses that there’s not a ton of new things coming up. But, hopefully, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” gets back to it [soon] and you guys can see how our stories are unraveling because the last two months have been a little crazy in our universe.
