Top model Janice Low shows how hair can bring you to new heights…literally.
Favourite thing to maxx? Probably life maxxing. I like experiencing different things, whether it’s travelling somewhere new, discovering good food, getting into a new sport, or learning something completely outside my comfort zone. I think the goal is to make life feel richer, not just look better. I take it pretty seriously.
How do you healthmaxx? I try to keep it balanced. Lately, I’ve been playing pickleball, staying active, eating well, and making time for things that help me slow down, like taking care of my plants, spending time in nature and with my loved ones, daydreaming over a cup of coffee, and writing down my thoughts. All of these things are important to me in maintaining balance. I don’t believe in being too extreme about wellness. Feeling good in both body and mind matters more than chasing perfection.

How to modelmaxx? Know yourself, stay curious, and never stop observing. Modelling is more than knowing your angles or looking good in front of a camera. It’s about understanding your body, expressing different emotions, and bringing a character to life. And of course, take care of your skin, your body, and your professionalism. The camera can capture your face, but your personality is what makes you memorable.
Beautymaxxing: Hair, makeup, skin, or nails? Definitely skin and hair! Good skin gives me confidence even when I’m not wearing any makeup. When my skin is healthy and glowing, I feel good in it. And hair, because it can completely change my look and energy. I love how a different hairstyle can bring out a different side of me.
What is your hidden talent? I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime. It’s probably a survival skill I picked up from years of modelling. Those long shoot days, crazy hours, and lots of waiting around. I’ve even mastered napping while getting my hair and makeup done, or while the lighting is being set up. I’m basically a power nap queen.

You’ve been to a lot of countries. Which country do you feel most “you”? The UK holds a special place in my heart, especially London. I love its mix of creativity, individuality, art, fashion, and different kinds of people. I’ve had some meaningful experiences there through modelling, but I also love the feeling of being able to wander around, get lost in a neighbourhood, and just exist without having to do too much. I’m drawn to places where I can feel inspired and independent at the same time. It’s more like I feel the most in London.
If you can redo your life, what would you do differently? I’d probably spend less time worrying about whether I’m good enough or whether I’m making the right decision. I’ve learned that a lot of growth happens when you allow yourself to try, make mistakes, and figure things out along the way. I wouldn’t want to change too much, though, because even the difficult experiences have shaped who I am today. I’d just tell my younger self to trust herself a little more and enjoy the journey instead of always thinking about what comes next.
