People love your curls, girl!
Naturally, replies to the Nicole Kidman photoset were numerous and covered an array of topics.
But follower after follower praised the film icon for her natural curls.
Remember, Kidman’s curls were once a part of her signature look.
Over time, however, straightened hair and wigs took over her on-screen image.
This past May, Kidman actually addressed the change in her hairstyle from some of her more memorable, early appearances on screen when chatting with Allure.
“Why did I straighten my hair?” she asked rhetorically. “I loved my hair there.”
Kidman continued: “That is my natural hair. Isn’t that crazy?”

Why DID she change her hair?
Truth be told, if Nicole Kidman herself isn’t sure of why she straightened her hair decades ago, we’re not sure either.
Maybe there was one specific role — or audition — where it gave her a boost. Or perhaps she tried it on her own, and just worked the look into her acting. Who knows?
Everyone has every right to try out different looks with their hair.
Even when it looks bad, as some looks do. We hope that it was fully Kidman’s choice, however, and not pressure from a studio or society. Her hair is her hair.
