Chanel Ayan channeled two inspirational women while filming season 2 of The Real Housewives of Dubai : Britney Spears and Ariana Madix . "I'm doing a Britney Spears moment, like the way she shaved her head she was, like, a fierce girl going through stuff, but she's still that girl. That's my look, you know?"

"I got tired of people saying my wigs are so cheap, so I'm like, you know what? I don't need wig. I am this glamorous, with wig or without wig." "The vibe for me season 2 is, literally, Britney," the Ayan Beauty founder makes clear.

"If you're jealous of me, that is your motherf**king problem," she says. " Not my pro.
