Nicole Kidman is a beauty icon, there’s no denying it. As someone who’s switched up her look endless times over the years (both for characters and in her own life), we’ve seen her embrace everything from long blonde mermaid waves to her latest short chop.
But in our hearts, she’ll be always be the stunning new Aussie on the scene with beautiful strawberry curls. We’re not sure anyone in the history of film has had better hair.
So how does she feel about her curls now? Let’s find out…
Nicole Kidman curly hair advice
In a chat with Allure where she broke down her iconic beauty looks (and there are many), Nicole reminisced about her voluminous hair in the movie Days of Thunder. In fact, she even mentioned that she wishes she’d kept the curls the way they naturally fell.
“Why did I straighten my hair? I love my hair there,” she shared, showing serious appreciation for her genetic-lottery-winning curl pattern. “That is my natural hair – isn’t that crazy?”
Nicole also had some advice for anyone questioning whether they want to wear their curls natural. “Little girls out there, embrace the curl. Do not follow in my footsteps and straighten your hair”, she said, even noticing a resemblance to her kids’ hair. “I look like my daughters – well, that makes sense”, she laughed as she looked back at images from the film.

As for how her curls fall today, Nicole mentioned that it often takes a little work (and the right conditions) to get them bouncing and behaving. “When you blow dry and scrunch your hair, the curl comes back in abundance”, she noted. “I can do that to my hair still, but it needs to be kind of humid and I need to use the right product.”
Let’s manifest intense humidity and the perfect product kit at Nicole’s disposal – we’re hoping to see the curls make a triumphant return very soon.

Do you have curly hair? Have you ever struggled to embrace it?
No, hair straightening tools can cause so much damage and I don’t feel like myself with straight hair.
As a fellow curly girl, I agree. I straightened my hair for an upcoming event and although it looked great but I didn’t feel like myself AT ALL!
Funny what a difference it makes when we have either curly or straight hair and then change it. One does not recognise oneself.
I don’t have curly hair, but I would love to
I would also love curly hair, but perhaps not as curly as Nicole
Such gorgeous curls.
No curls on me.
I used to wear my hair curly all the time until I became a teenager
I struggled to embrace my poker straight hair, but now it’s developing a wave as I age, which I like.
She has beautiful hair whichever way.
Yes she does but she looked iconic with her curls
I have straight hair but I use a hair dryer and heated rollers, I use a heat spray and lots of conditioning treatments
Heat sprays are really good now
I would love to have curly hair
If you have natural curls like that, flaunt it!
I don’t have curly hair. I have fine, thin, straight to wavy long hair but it is the craziest thing, conditioners for curly hair work so well on my hair.
We all do things to our hair and later regret.Part of growing up and experimenting
As I’m getting older, my hair is becoming a lot curlier than previous.
She has such stunning hair! Every style seems to suit her
I have a wavy hair. I often use hair straightener to get more curls.
