Nicole Kidman Voluminous Blowout With Soft Waves

Added: 07 Sep 2026
Nicole Kidman always looks gorgeous but this style has everything you could want in a hairstyle! The layers, the sleek top and the mid-ends waves are easy for you to recreate at home and is ideal for your next formal event you might be attending! Styling long hair with sleek, straight roots and soft mid-end waves is a beautiful way to combine polished sophistication with relaxed movement. Keeping the top section sleekly straight creates a smooth, refined finish around the crown, while the gentle waves beginning through the mid-lengths and ends add softness, volume and texture. This contrast gives the hairstyle plenty of dimension without making it look overly styled. The layers throughout her hair are particularly beneficial because they allow the waves to move freely and prevent the long length from appearing heavy or flat. The layers also help create a more flowing shape, allowing each section to fall naturally while maintaining the overall length. When the waves reach the ends, they create a graceful cascading effect that looks feminine and effortlessly glamorous. Gently tucking one side behind the ear adds an elegant finishing touch. It opens up one side of her face while allowing the opposite side to retain its flowing volume. This subtle asymmetry can beautifully highlight the cheekbones, eyes and jawline without taking away from the softness of the hairstyle. This look is especially flattering for oval, oblong, heart and diamond face shapes. The sleek top complements oval and oblong proportions, while the added movement around the lower sections can beautifully balance heart-shaped faces. Diamond face shapes can also benefit from the softness created around the cheeks and jawline. Longer or oblong faces can wear this style well too, particularly when the waves begin slightly higher to add width.

Nicole does not often do heavy makeup which works well with this hairstyle because you want your style to be the star of the show!
