She captioned the up-close photos: “curls night out ✨ @nicolekidman rocking those natural curls 💋”
Nicole’s curls were something of a trademark in her early film career, and the star previously admitted that all the styling over the years took a toll on her hair.
“I wish I had my curls back,” she once told InStyle. “I tortured them to death. I always say, ‘Don’t ruin the ringlets!'”
The actress also told People that she prefers to wear her natural curls when she’s at home, but her locks are “constantly being styled” when she’s working.
One look at her Instagram profile seems to prove that, as many of Nicole’s photos show her hair looking sleek and styled.
