Photos: Google … Collage by helenoppenheim.com
Nicole Kidman, her long curly fiery red hair in The Undoing has taken over social media. The 6 part mini-series thriller now airing on HBO (with repeats and streaming) was shot in New York City in 2019, pre-Covid, and is worth watching. But it is the Kidman hair which is causing the waves. Some say the hair is the star of the series! It is waving beautiful, the kind of hair everyone will want and is definitely a trend-setter. We know Kidman’s hair is naturally curly, although worn straightened for years, but Is it a wig? Or hair extensions? Then there is a still-attractive Hugh Grant as we haven’t seen him before, a great Donald Sutherland, and the coats. Ah the coats. They look wonderful as the 5’11” Kidman walks the Upper East Side NYC streets, and they have a life of their own. There is the maroon velvet coat ($148 on bonanza.com) and the Grace Sachs Undoing Green Coat ($169-$199 on abbracil.com) Click, Click – Take a look at the Official HBO Trailer to get excited about the series and the hair!

Do you know your hair history? This photo features the first crimped hair of the modern era, literally created with a 50 year old crimping machine from the 20s – in 1975. It is a photo I love, from the iconic La Coupe Sleeper Collection. For more of this wider than wide look, and more crimped styles, click:

CommentRomantic Boudoir Hair – 1987
Photo: © Geoffrey Hargrave Thomas
A romantic feeling from La Coupe, in 1987. Hair for the boudoir. Kim Lepine introduced The New Curl in the Boudoir Hair Collection – a tiny, angel-like curl. She said at the time that The New Direction was small heads, closer to the head, with softly rounded but a definite “V” back. ‘No more squared-off, cut-across or cut-up napes,” advised Lepine the trend-setter whose backs of heads were always feminine and pretty, whether her hairstyles were short, medium, long, straight or curly. A trend in the late 80s, the look is still relevant today. For more Boudoir Hair, more versions, how-to’s and details, click here
