Nigella Lawson shares brutally honest snap of what she ‘normally looks like’ away from the cameras as she reveals her tangled and unkempt hair

Nigella Lawson has shown off her  natural hair.

The TV chef, 64, had been discussing some of her favourite styling products on Instagram earlier this week but decided to then show her followers her natural style.

In an attempt to ‘redress the balance’, the star shared an image of herself with untidy tousled locks as she joked that she often ‘looks a complete mess’ when she is not filming.  

She wrote on Instagram: ‘Ever since I posted about my hair, hair products and styling yesterday, I’ve been rather worried about having to live up to it, since mostly I do nothing and go out looking a complete mess. 

‘So I thought I’d redress the balance by posting a photo of what my hair more usually looks like!

‘Though it does make me realise why I thought I had to learn how to improve matters… 

‘And, by the way, I went back to my Sunday post and added a shortlist of some of my favourite products mentioned in the piece that I rely on to help me look rather less like the first Mrs Rochester!’

In the unearthed snap, Nigella looked to be enjoying time on holiday in an exotic location.

She was wearing a simple black T-shirt and gave a big grin as she covered her eyes with a large pair of shades.  

Nigella’s followers rushed to the comments section to praise her for sharing such a natural picture.

One wrote:  ‘This honesty and vulnerability is what makes you even more beautiful’.

Another said: ‘It’s not normal to look 100% perfect all the time ..love that tousled look.’
