Nicole Kidman
When Nicole Kidman first burst onto the Hollywood scene in the 1990 film Days of Thunder, her cascade of gingery corkscrew ringlets nearly stole the show. As the actress’ star continued to rise, though, that captivating coif of curls gave way to hair that was straight and blonde. It’s a look Kidman has cultivated so well over the course of her career that her natural hair is little more than a distant memory.
However, let it be said that no one regrets the transition more than Kidman. When asked by PopSugar Australia what advice she’d give her 20-year-old self, the actress didn’t have to think long. “I wish I had left my hair alone!” she said, laughing. “Because I kept straightening it I would always be told, ‘Your curls are so beautiful’ and I never believed them.”
She reiterated this regret to Australia’s WHO Magazine (via Today), saying, “I wish I had my curls back. I tortured them to death. I always say, ‘Don’t ruin the ringlets!'” Admittedly, it would be killer to see Kidman’s ringlets resurrected.
