I can’t stop thinking about Nicole Kidman’s voluminous waves at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. To be fair, her entire look has been living rent-free in my brain (that Schiaparelli gown!), but her glam especially has me swooning. As Kidman stepped foot on the red carpet ahead of the Babygirl premiere, her strawberry blonde tresses looked effortlessly fluffy—like she just so happened to wake up with flawless waves. Adir Abergel, Kidman’s longtime hairstylist, dubs the creation “big sexy hair” with an emphasis on sky-high volume that appears minimal yet lasts all day. I might have watched his Instagram Reel upward of 16 times, and I might have done a little sleuthing to find out exactly what products he used.

It turns out he relied on a specific hair-thickening treatment to achieve Kidman’s swoon-worthy waves. Below, find Abergel’s entire “big sexy hair” tutorial from start to finish.
