Past regrets and the long-term effects of straightening hair
In the Allure interview, Nicole Kidman looked back at the most iconic looks of her career. As she watched a clip of herself in “Days of Thunder,” she said, “Why did I straighten my hair?” followed by, “I love my hair there. That is my natural hair … Isn’t that crazy?” Of all the hair transformations the actor has gone through, this moment stood out as it was one of the rare times her natural curls were represented on-screen.
Over the years, the actor has openly spoken about her complicated relationship with her natural hair. She’s admitted that all the heat straightening has taken a toll on her hair health. In an interview with WHO, she even shared that she felt like she tormented her natural curls and how she just wanted her hair back. The actor often reminisces on her curly hair days and regrets straightening it to the point that now, while those curls can come back, there has to be some effort put forth (i.e., a lot of scrunching and some help from humidity).
Lately, it seems the return to her natural curls is getting closer, as Kidman has been seen embracing curly hairstyles more and more. The actor shared a photo of herself on the night of the Academy Museum Gala on Instagram in her natural curls, and fans absolutely adored it. One fan said, “HAIR!!! Yay the curls were FREE!!!!”
