Andie MacDowell's favourite feature is her curly hair - because it has inspired people to wear their hair natural. The 'Maid' actress and former fashion model, 66, has been a spokeswoman for hair brand L'Oréal since 1986, and she has had many women come up to her to tell her that she made them feel confident enough to let their curls loose. She told British Vogue: "I’m not ashamed to say—because I was thinking that could sound, you know [arrogant]—but because I know how many people I’ve helped by embracing my curly hair, it has to be my hair.
I have people all the time come up to me and say, 'You helped me like my hair!' I think it’s not always the most popular. Mine’s very, very curly, but also kind of frizzy. I don’t mind—I like it and I helped women embrace theirs.
My hair is very curly, and it’s very fluffy, very curly and I like it! So if it helps other people say, 'Oh, okay, I like it, too,' then I like mine too. It’s interesting as a lot of women struggle with that. They don’t feel it’s pretty.
It’s fun to go and have your hair blown out for events but I would never do it in my everyday life. I look forward to washing my hair and just having it be its curly self and just letting it do whatever it wants." Meanwhile, Andie previously admitted she wants to be seen as a “debonair” mature woman.
