Nicole Kidman's Long Blunt Cut
Usually seen with curls past her shoulders, in the photos above we see Nicole with straight hair. The lovely lady was photographed arriving at the UK premiere of the film “Happy Feet.” Even without her usual soft, romantic curls, she looks amazing. The look is casual yet beautiful.
Nicole's haircut is fairly simple and straightforward. The sides and back are blunt-cut using a razor to add texture, with a long fringe area that is rounded and softly textured. The cut is best executed by sectioning the hair and leaving down a half-inch perimeter to create guides.
Determine the length in the back and front by taking strands from each side of the face and bringing them together at the center front. Cut these strands together to ensure even length on each side. The fringe area should fall below the eyes and curve downward from the center of the face. Texturizing the hair will slightly shorten the fringe.
Release the sectioned hair in half-inch increments and blunt-cut it. Pay attention to shaping the bangs and follow your initial guide in that area. Once the cut is complete, use a razor tool to soften the ends by gently shaving the lower two to three inches of the hair.
The Style:
Styling the hair is again straightforward. Section the damp, towel-dried hair after applying straightening balm, styling gel, leave-in conditioner, and anti-frizz serum to protect it from heat damage. Blow-dry the hair in sections using a flat paddle brush to straighten it as you go.
Direct the airflow of the dryer in the direction the hair grows to keep it smooth and prevent roughing up the cuticle layer. Once fully dry, use a flat iron to further smooth the hair. Take thin slices of hair when using the flat iron and lightly mist each section with hairspray to hold the straight style.
After misting, allow the hair to dry and cool fully before brushing it out. Once cool, brush the hair and finish styling as desired. Use a very light mist of spray laminator or light oil spray to add shine and gloss to the hair sparingly.
