With a bright red mane of curls it’s hard to miss Susan Sarandon on the SAG-AFTRA picket line. Aside from her activism, we’re taking notes on her perfectly curled tresses. And while she’s no doubt one of the world’s biggest names now, Susan had her starts in various odd jobs, most notably as an amateur hairdresser. Those skills have stayed with her throughout the years with Susan still opting for a DIY at-home cut. But as anyone who’s given an at-home cut a go (we’re having major lockdown flashbacks) you’ll relate to her haphazard approach which she swears is “a mess”.
Susan Sarandon Curls
Susan loves a low-maintenance moment, but with such a stunning mane of curls she admits she does have to work for it. In saying that though, in the warmer weather, she goes totally rogue and opts for a “hairspray and hope for the best” approach. Luckily for her, when working on sets, the stylists often offer her wigs so that she’s not sitting in the makeup chair for hours. Regardless they give us major #hairgoals
Curly-girl Approved
While we don’t know her actual ‘routine’ (aside from hairspray and prayers) to embrace her curls of late but we can only imagine she’s invested in a frizz fighting mousse and good curl cream to define and add gloss. We’d recommend John Frieda Frizz Ease® Curl Reviver Mousse ($20.99 at Priceline) and Kerastase Nutritive Hair Mask for Dry Thick Hair ($81 at Adore Beauty).
We’ll be sure to keep you posted if Susan herself drops any more hair care hacks to help manage her mane of curls…

Do you have curly hair? What’s your curly girl routine?
My hair is the opposite, fine and straight
Mine is too, dead straight naturally.
Same here!
My daughter has beautiful curls – not sure who she inherited the curly hair gene from – but these days she pretty much runs her fingers through her hair and off she goes.
Lucky girl -I love curls.
I love it when my hair goes all curly, it only happens after being in salt water. I’d love to have curly hair all the time but I imagine it’s hard work to maintain
I have straight hair. I do like her curls, they are so pretty.
I have a curly haired girl.
Mt hair is thick and virtually straight.
I’m glad she has embraced her curls, frizz is so hard to deal with.
Yes, I only have wavy hair but I hate the frizz!!
How lovely to have waves!
She has great curls!
Natural curls are beautiful!
Totally agree Yohanna .I would love to have naturally curly hair.
She has lovely coloured hair
Nope. My hair is dead straight & yes I cut my own.
I’m super straight too and I need a hairdresser, and a good one, to cut my hair so it looks ok. That’s amazing your self-cutting skills! Wish I could!
You must be very talented to cut your own straight hair, I cut mine but it’s much easier to hide mistakes in curly hair.
I cut mine too, @Cityglenda.
Yes I do and even when I use lots of products it never turns out how I want it to. So I either put it in a low bun with some hairspray or I straighten my hair or create soft waves
Love her curls!
Mine use to be curly. It’s more wavy now.
As someone whose curly hair is the bane of her existence (frizzy frizzness), this comments section warms my heart. I love the amount of curly haired love here!
Her hair always looks amazing
Like Thelma and Louise days
I love curly hair but I don’t have natural curls.
She is so stunning! Good on her.
Lovely curls
I have really thick curly hair, but it requires so much maintenance
I love curls, but I don’t have them.
I have “brush it and then hope for the best” days – I can sympathise with her.
Haha! I can relate to that.
I don’t have curls. But i do some waves by using hair straightener.
Works well for her!
I love looking at my daughter’s curls, she uses curly haired products.
