Julia Montes and Sunsilk Invite Young Ladies to Share and Live Their Dreams with the #SunsilkDreamstarter Promo

All girls have their own version of a fairy tale. And for young actress Julia Montes, that dream was to be an actress.

Unlike a conventional princess though, Julia was raised by a hearing- and speech-impaired mother and a doting grandmother she lovingly calls Mama Flory. According to Julia, life was simple and quiet but she wanted a better life for herself and, more importantly, her family.

As the only girl and the eldest of four siblings, Julia learned early on that girls in the real world didn't have to wait for a prince charming to make life beautiful. This determined young woman decided instead to write her own story.

I admire her for going for what she wanted and knowing where her journey should take her, which is in front of the camera and in the spotlight. Wise beyond her years, the 19-year-old knew that the biggest push would have to come from within her, not from anyone else. Her first step towards real- and reel-life adventures? Unwavering confidence to pursue them from one of her best assets -- her hair. 

The young lady says she trusts only Sunsilk Strong and Long to seamlessly take her hair from short to beautifully long and that her perfectly nourished tresses were every inch as resilient and as ready as she was to face changes that would surely come.

Julia persisted in lining up for hours to audition for roles, which eventually landed her regular stints in youth-oriented shows. After a few years playing supporting roles, her hard work finally earned her the big break she needed as a lead in a TV series. That was the beginning of a new and more exciting stage in her life while her hair continued to grow longer and more beautiful along with her blooming career.
