NC: What is the best thing about being curly?
TT: Curls are so unpredictable and they are never boring. They also make you feel special and unique. My curls are so low maintenance. I never have to waste time blow drying my hair. That is definitely the biggest plus!
NC: How does having curly hair affect your everyday life?
TT: Every day is a surprise. Is it going to be a good curl day or a day when I would rather shave my head? You never quite know. Also, I think it’s funny that when I meet people, as a curly redhead, they make so many assumptions about me right off the bat, some of them true some of them not. I guess it really colors the way people view me right from the start, and I don’t fight that.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
TT: Straight hair can be so boring! Your curls are like no one else’s! Trust me, there are millions of people who would kill to have your hair.
NC: Tell us about your current and upcoming projects. Tell us about your life and what you are up to!
TT: I just ended a wonderful summer internship with Parenting Magazine where I met some incredible people and got to do some interesting writing. I am currently getting ready to go back to Boston College, and by getting ready, I mean shopping and avoiding packing for as long as possible. But mostly, I should be planning and preparing for another busy semester as the Features Editor for BC’s student newspaper, The Heights. I am definitely looking forward to the cooler fall temperatures and cool new knit hairbands for winter to accentuate my curls!
