Antonia Gentry loves the “versatility” of her hair.
The 26-year-old actress sports her locks in a number of ways and goes to great lengths to make sure that her hair is always “moisturised and nourished” and taken care of.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “I love how versatile curly and textured hair can be. I can wear it out and it’s bouncy and big. I can straighten it, I can make it wavy. I use three products outside of shampooing and conditioning.
“Aveda has a Be Curly Advanced Curl Perfecting Primer that I’ll spray onto my hair, work it in and then right after I’ll go in with my favourite: the Be Curly Advanced Enhancer Cream. It’s very lightweight and it makes my hair feel really moisturised and nourished.
“Before, I would wash my hair every other day because it was hard to keep my curls lasting throughout the week but now I’ll use the Be Curly Advanced Coil Definer Gel and a heat diffuser, and I’m good for several days.
“When I’m working, there is a lot of heat styling involved so it’s important for me to be able to take care of my hair outside of work to prevent damage.”
The ‘Ginny and Georgia’ star attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in 2022 and noted that after enlisting the help of her “go-to” hairstylist, the look they came up with ended up becoming her “favourite” ever for a public appearance as she recalled feeling like a “different woman” on the red carpet.
She said: “My favourite look for a red carpet was my first Vanity Fair Oscars Party last year.
“I worked with Marty Harper, my go-to hairstylist, and we did this lovely, really long half-wig situation where my hair is pulled back. There was a headband, my hair was down to my butt and I felt like a different woman.”
