Which item is your favorite and why?"Ah, this is such a hard decision since I take so much pride in my Adria by Thalia collection! If I had to choose, my favorite product would be the all-in-wonderful All-In-One Spray, which has become an essential product in my daily routine. Its the ultimate leave-in treatment that instantly repairs, so your hair is smooth and detangle with maximum shine while also preventing breakage and color fade. It also controls frizz, protects hair against the damaging effects of heat styling and keeps the hair smooth. It smells amazing and makes my hair feel so soft and silky!"

What was a hair struggle/insecurity you had while growing up?"The biggest struggle for me growing up was not having celebrity role models to look up to or seeing women that looked like me in magazines. It is wonderful to see how far brands have come to showcase diverse, beautiful women who are proud of their heritage."

What are your thoughts on the natural hair movement which is empowering Latinas?"It is absolutely wonderful for Latinas finally represented and brands catering to our specific hair types. It is nice to feel valued from a consumer standpoint. When creating Adria, I wanted all products to be formulated with a proprietary blend of nourishing ingredients called the CAPPA 5™ Complex, that works for all hair types. This unique combination of ingredients can be found in Mexico, South America, and Brazil, which ties back to Latina culture. The oils found in CAPPA 5™ Complex work together to strengthen and protect the hair cuticles, producing salon quality results with each and every use."

What's a hair hack you would love to share with your fans?"Great hair begins at the roots so selecting a product with natural, nourishing ingredients is important. I recommend beginning your routine with the Adria by Thalia “the foundation” Shampoo and “the nourisher” Conditioner, which works together to leave your hair feeling healthy from root to tip!"

Where did the name Adria come from?"The product line was named as a hybrid of my first name “Adriana” and the word “aria”, which is an expressive melody. To me, this represents the synergy between my heritage and passion for music as well as my dedication to making women feel beautiful."
