Crystal Renee Hayslett stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about her new hair care line Unapologetic by ORS, out now, and the meaning behind building a brand centered on confidence and self-expression. She breaks down what went into creating the products, from testing formulas to making sure they work across different hair types, and shares the excitement around her Times Square pop-up. Crystal also reflects on the viral moment of her journey from working behind the scenes to starring in Sistas and Zatima, including what it really takes to film an entire season in just weeks and how she had to separate herself from her character Fatima to fully bring her to life.

Crystal opens up about her path from Capitol Hill to Tyler Perry Studios, the moment she told Tyler Perry she wanted to act, and how that changed everything. She also gets real about relationships, trust, and dating while playing a love interest on screen, plus the lessons she’s learned about patience, boundaries, and not missing your blessings. From her healing journey and therapy breakthroughs to the mindset behind her positive podcast, Crystal shares honest moments that have resonated with fans and sparked conversation.
