Antonia Gentry<\/strong> is reflecting on the powerful connection she feels to the character who launched her into the spotlight.<\/p>\n The actress, who stars as Ginny Miller<\/a> on the hit Netflix<\/a> series Ginny & Georgia<\/em><\/a>, sits down with OK!<\/em><\/a> for an exclusive chat during Aussie<\/a>‘s “Break the Routine” event in New York City on Thursday, March 12, to discuss how grateful she feels to portray such a layered and strong-willed young woman on screen.<\/p>\n “I think I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to play a character who is at that stage of her life where she’s discovering who she is \u2014 whether that\u2019s through her style or her friendships,” Gentry, who also spills on her must-have curly hair care secrets, admits during her interview.<\/p>\n Antonia Gentry says her character Ginny Miller is ‘very strong-willed.’@_antoniagentry_\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The role has allowed the 28-year-old to explore themes of identity and self-expression that resonate deeply with fans \u2014 especially young viewers who see themselves in Ginny’s journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n “She’s a very strong-willed character. She knows when to stand up for herself,” Gentry explains. “In a lot of ways, I look up to her for that.”<\/p>\n For the Prom Dates<\/em> star, portraying Ginny<\/a> has also mirrored her own personal growth. As the show\u2019s popularity exploded, Gentry found herself navigating similar conversations about representation, confidence and authenticity both on and off screen.<\/p>\n Antonia Gentry opens up about curly hair anxiety in Hollywood.@_antoniagentry_\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n “When we talk about representation, not only in that regard but also when we talk about hair, I think having the experiences that I have in learning about my own hair and how to talk about it with stylists has helped add that layer to the character,” she notes.<\/p>\n Behind the scenes in Hollywood, Gentry admits that trusting others with her curls hasn\u2019t always been easy.<\/p>\n “It can definitely be a source of anxiety,” she confesses of having her hair styled by professionals on set. “Even outside of work, when you want to go somewhere and have someone do your hair, it can be hard to find the right person who\u2019s educated in working with different kinds of hair.”<\/p>\n Antonia Gentry has learned to advocate for herself as an actress.@_antoniagentry_\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Over time, she\u2019s learned to advocate for herself \u2014 not just for personal comfort, but for the young fans watching her portray Ginny<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I’ve had to learn how to speak up for myself,” Gentry notes. “Not just for me, but because I also play a character that represents young girls who watch the show and see themselves in her.”<\/p>\n The Time Cut<\/em> actress mentioned that discovering stylists who are willing to collaborate and learn has made a huge difference.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve managed to find good people over the years who are willing to listen and work with me so we can do the best for the curly girls out there,” she adds with a laugh. “Because they\u2019ll know.”<\/p>\n Gentry’s evolving relationship with her curls ultimately led her to partner with Aussie<\/a> for the launch of its new Ultra Wonder collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n Antonia Gentry swears by a ‘simple’ curly hair routine.@_antoniagentry_\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n During her exclusive chat with OK!<\/em>, Gentry reveals the rule-breaking product line aligns perfectly with her philosophy on hair care.<\/p>\n “There are so many rules and steps and hacks and tips for the ‘best’ version of your curls,” she says. “But ultimately I\u2019ve decided that simplicity is best.”<\/p>\n The Ultra Wonder collection was designed to challenge outdated curl routines and encourage users to do more with less \u2014 something Gentry strongly believes in.<\/p>\n “You don\u2019t have to do a million different steps in the morning,” she declares. “I\u2019ve done a lot of really crazy things to my hair trying to make it fit this ideal curl pattern. Now I\u2019m just looking for products that work with my lifestyle and make me feel confident day to day.”<\/p>\n Gentry shares her routine has become refreshingly low-maintenance.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m very lazy and very simple,” she jokes. “I wash maybe once a week \u2014 sometimes twice if I\u2019m filming \u2014 and I really only use two to three products for styling.”<\/p>\n One of her favorites from the line is the Ultra Wonder Daily Mist Spray<\/a>, which helps refresh curls throughout the week.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a way that I can refresh my curls day to day without having to fully drench my head,” she explains. “We love a multitasker. We love simplicity. We love saving time so we can actually live our lives.”<\/p>\n For Gentry, embracing that mindset is exactly what the campaign’s #DareToWonder message is all about.<\/p>\n “Great hair isn\u2019t about following every rule. It\u2019s about finding what works for you,” she concludes.<\/p>\n Read more at OK!<\/a><\/p>\n Get OK!’s biggest scoops and scandals delivered right to your inbox.
