Is this a very high maintenance hair cut?

[FamiliesShareGerms]

I have a hankering for Nicole Kidman's haircut in the Jimmy Choo adverts. I figure if her curly hair can look that good, my thickish-but-with-a-tendency-to-frizz could also pull it off. But would it need a lot of work to keep it looking good? I suspect so...

She's got dozens of people fannying around her doing her hair.

Chunky, messy, piecey bobs are high maintenance in my experience. They need washing and styling daily.

But quicker to do the actual styling than longer hair, if that makes sense.

Is your hair on the dry or greasy side?

Greasy but I can go a couple of days between washes

Ooh it's a bit like Rene Russo's in the Thomas Crown Affair which I lusted over and tried to copy. But when I grew mine out (I normally have short hair) it just got too heavy and floppy with loads of static.

I think what they have is a short version of "big hair" which requires loads of drying with a round brush (or big hair thingy) and probably loads of mouse and backcombing to look that thick and bouncy.

My hair is fine though, if yours is thick you might be a step closer.

I like nicole's too btw!

Nicole is wearing a wig in those ads

If it's sliced right it can look great and not be too high maintenance. You need a very good hair stylist though. Have a consultation first and make sure they show you easy ways to style it yourself.

Although on some of her photos it looks very wiggy to me?

It's a wig, no way is that her own hair!

It looks like one of those hideous qvc/ Raquel Welch /ken pavers jobs!

Sorry.

I have thick red hair and had a similar haircut years ago.

Once in a blue moon it looked fab.

More often than not it looked like a crash helmet.

LadyB Renee looked so sexy in that movie. Dp has worn his dvd away And that dress!!!

Oh and great products are you friend. But a good salon will advise too.

Or this one

I have this hairstyle (sadly that where the similarities between me and NK stop) I can confirm is is quite high maintenance and you will need the straightening irons every day

I've got very thick hair, goes frizzy easily and quite greasy and had my hair cut like that a while ago. Now frantically trying to grow it out and looking like a spaniel :(

Hmm, sounds like it's a hair cut to file under "When I win the Euromillions and get a hairdresser in every day to blow dry my barnet", then. Thanks all

Oh my word, that is a fab haircut! I am hankering after a graduated bob but need to lose several stone first as my face is currently too fat to carry it off.

I'm at other end of spectrum with fine hair. Had similar cut and it took litres of mousses, gels, straightening, arranging, spraying, to get it to look anywhere half decent, tousled in the 'right' way, and not like a long-haired hamster emerging after a heavy downpour. Have grown it long and now wear it up. Looks much nicer/thicker and takes a fraction of the time and products.

I have this hair cut too (but brunette with grey roots not gorg and red) and have v thick curlyish/frizzy hair and I find it much easier to manage than when it was shoulder length and it used to flick out all over the place!

I think long hair is definitely easiest to style, having had waist length hair once upon a time. I just can't decide between shoulder length which can at least be twisted up on a bad hair day and shorter hair which needs styling more but looks more fashionable. Ho hum.
