When Richie (born Escovedo) leaned over to make a wish and blow out the candles, both sides of her dangling ombré curls became aflame.
Stylist Liat Baruch reached her hand over to put out the fire on the left side of the shocked Nikki Fre$h star’s head as the right side continued to burn her locks.
Nicole’s Instagram video received comments from Amber Valetta, Kelly Rowland, Antoni Porowski, Ellen Pompeo, Big Freedia, Zooey Deschanel, Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, brother-in-law Benji Madden, and her husband Joel Madden who quoted her Simple Life castmate Paris Hilton: ‘That’s hot.’
Richie and her hairstylist Gregory Russell have spent years trying to mend her damaged locks after decades of bleaching and dying them various shades of color.
