Nicole Kidman goes back to her curly roots as she sports her natural hair on London outing – after THAT wig fail

BBG News

Nicole Kidman embraced her natural hair on Wednesday as she enjoyed a dinner date in London. 

58-year-old actress sported a bunch of curly hair while leaving Nobu, resembling the style fans recall from her early acting days in the 1980s.

Nicole, adorned with a spotted blouse and shaded by sunglasses, appeared cheerful as she conversed with her protective team during their ride towards her hotel.

Back in the Nineties, I, a die-hard fan, was thrilled when my favorite redhead decided to switch things up. She went from her natural fiery red tresses to blonde locks, all straightened smooth. But it seems she’s now confessing that change wasn’t what she wished for, and I can’t help but feel a pang of regret along with her.

I firmly believe that my bold choice to celebrate my authentic self might’ve been inspired by the memorable incident at the 2025 Kering Women in Motion Awards last month. That unfortunate hair mishap certainly left an indelible mark on me, and it seems like it may have played a role in this transformation I see unfolding.

Although she was striking on the red carpet with her dynamic poses, a portion of her wig’s mesh cap peeked out, even though her natural hair had been skillfully braided into it.

Celebrities in Hollywood frequently use wigs or hairpieces to maintain a more vibrant, voluminous look, since their natural hair can thin and lose volume over time due to aging.

As an ardent admirer putting pen to paper, I, like countless others captivated by her radiance, find myself pondering over the intriguing choice made by the enchanting Nicole. In a candid conversation with the Daily Mail, the gifted hair stylist Adem Oygur, visionary behind Adem London, offered his insights as to why he surmises she might have opted for a wig.

Adem pointed out that the dramatic shift in Nicole’s hair color and regular use of heating tools to straighten her curls might be causing damage to her natural curls. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations during menopause and perimenopause could potentially result in hair loss and thinning.

In his role as a prominent hairstylist, Adem frequently observes numerous women, particularly those with a public profile, opting for wigs due to various personal and pragmatic motives. In Nicole’s situation, there might be multiple reasons influencing her decision.

He pointed out that consistently using hair bleach or heat-styling tools for a long time may result in major structural damage to your hair, causing it to break, become thinner, and lose its natural flexibility.

Wigs provide a safeguarding option that lets her preserve her signature bold styles, all while ensuring the wellbeing of her own hair.

Adem added: ‘One more potential factor could be hormonal shifts, particularly during the transition phase (perimenopause) or menopause itself. These hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact hair characteristics such as texture, thickness, and growth patterns.’

During this phase, many women often encounter issues like hair thinning or dryness. Wigs can serve as a source of confidence and offer a convenient, low-maintenance solution for dealing with such alterations.

Additionally, wigs offer an appealing advantage: they enable immediate change without the lasting obligation or possible harm. Many women, particularly those in the entertainment industry, find this to be a practical and empowering decision.

Over time, Nicole’s practice of donning wigs for her roles in Hollywood films has amassed a devoted fanbase.

In the early stages of her acting career and ever since, the well-known actress tends to use wigs rather than her own natural hair in most of her film appearances.

In a past interview with the BBC, Nicole expressed that having red hair set her apart from the group of children considered popular at school.

She said: ‘I was very tall and very pale. I had red, curly hair and I was covered in freckles.

‘I think my sense of belonging, in terms of belonging to the cool kids, wasn’t there.

As an introvert by nature, I discovered a hidden reserve of shyness within me. Yet, I found solace in a unique ability – acting. This skill transformed ordinary moments into comfortable spaces for me.

In a May 2025 Allure magazine interview, Nicole openly expressed regret for ever styling her naturally curly hair.

Looking at the photo from Days of Thunder where she was in 1990, she let out a sigh and said, “I wish I hadn’t straightened it back then. I adored my hair in that era. That’s my natural hair.

Here’s a more conversational and friendly rephrasing of your statement: “Can you believe it? For all the lovely young ladies out there, celebrate your curls! Don’t feel pressured to straighten your hair like I did.

She mentioned that she could restore her curls under certain conditions, specifically pointing out that it requires some level of humidity and the appropriate product.
