While Ridloff is proud to be a diverse ambassador for curly hair, she also said that the beauty and Hollywood industries still have a \"need for more practice\" when it comes to inclusivity.

\"I think we're at this point where we are figuring out how to do it right, how true collaboration looks like and how to make this practice stick.\"

Ridloff also spoke to finding her own confidence throughout her life and recalled playing a game with her mother as a kid where it was questioned, \"What is the nicest, truest thing you could say to someone?\"

In high school, she went on to play this game with her best friend, and they made it a point to always be kind and compliment others.

\"Not too long ago I realized that I should play that game with myself, and as soon as I treated myself with kindness, I felt good,\" Ridloff said. \"That's how I found my confidence. It's a lot easier to celebrate yourself when you're nice to yourself. I won't lie -- it is a practice that takes many tries and time, but it works.\"

Ridloff ended with a few words of wisdom: \"Never apologize for being you and for what makes you unique.\"
