    Sometimes I forget that Nicole Kidman's natural hair is full of springy curls, but every so often, she finds a way to remind me with a surprise photo.

    Over the weekend, for example, the Scarpetta actress shared an Instagram photo where she's seen posing on what appears to be a farm. In the photo, she's leaning on a wooden fence while wearing a baby blue button-down blouse with blue jeans and white sneakers. In the spirit of keeping things casual for the occasion, she also swapped out her divorce bangs and signature blown-out, straight hair and embraced her naturally curly texture for the day.

    "Weekend Vibes 💛," she captioned the photo.

    A post shared by Nicole Kidman (@nicolekidman)

    A photo posted by on

    Kidman has spent the last several months experimenting with her hair. The actress stepped out wearing a brand-new set of wispy bangs back in October, shortly following her divorce from Keith Urban, and a few weeks after that, she appeared on stage at a conference in Texas, where her strawberry blonde hair was lightened to a platinum blonde shade.

    Since the fall, she's also been spotted out a handful of times proudly wearing her natural curls. At the top of the year, she took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of herself with her two daughters celebrating New Year's Eve, and in it, you can see her curls on full display. A few days later, she was spotted wearing her curls while walking through the airport in Sydney.
