NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
Sherry: The best thing about being curly is that you always look like you have spent hours on your hair, but you didn’t.
NC: How does having curly hair impacts your life?
Sherry: For most of my life I hated my hair, but now that I understand it, I’ve grown to love it. My hair looks great throughout the day and I don’t even have to do much! Since going natural, I have been so much more confident and I feel liberated! I don’t need to straighten my hair or hide it in a ponytail or bun to fit the Asian look.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
Sherry: Change is a scary thing, but if you learn to accept and embrace it, it can be beautiful. I think the most important advice is to educate yourself on hair products. Learn what ingredients are good and bad for your hair. Try a variety of brands to find the products that fit you and your budget.
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects!
Sherry: I am currently working at a few part-time jobs and freelancing. If I am not working, I am usually designing, doodling, or learning about photography. I am trying to stay away from a 9 to 5 job since I want to keep my options open and am still trying to figure out who I am.
