Additional Comments: Not at all a flattering look for Nikki. She had that look for comatose Victoria, when she was suffering over David and now with screeching for Slicktor scenes. I hope she gets a better hairdo for her suffering scenes.

Isn't it about time they start using make-up this character? I know this started with CS last year..but come on enough with the dramatics..Nicki looks like a waif now!!

Whenever it's time to give Nikki some ''depth'' by sticking her in a crisis we see her in some random, drab outfit that would never otherwise grace her closet, with her hair pulled back and no makeup. I realize that in desperate times people don't fix themselves up like they usually do but it almost seems like TPTB feel they can't rely on MTS's acting alone to do the job. They can't dress her down without making her look like a bum.

I think the look on Nikki during a crisis is very realistic. In real life if we were in Mexico for days and walking the beach looking for someone presumed dead, would we have time to think about how our hair looked or even care? Same way when she was in the hospital with Victoria. I think this has made Nikki seem more like a real person. If she were all done up with hair and make up people would criticize that.

On the other hand, when she isn't in crisis, I think a shorter more flattering hairdo would look nicer. I also think she looks thinner dressed in jeans than in skirts. I like her when she is dressed down with a simpler look.

Every time I see Nikki dressed in jeans and a casual top/jacket, I can't help but think how much slimmer she looks. Especially as compared to wearing white tight-fitting slacks & a top of a different colour that cuts her in half mid-stomach. eom/faysie

What she needs is some soft bangs. Very few women, esp. older, look good with their hair slicked back and all that forehead showing. If they gave her some bangs it would soften her features and look much better. Also, bangs hide wrinkles on the forehead, not that she has that many wrinkles, but they do.

I really wish *Nikki* would go back to that shorter hairstyle that she had a few years ago. I thought that was really flattering on her. Even during these days in Mexico Nikki seems to change her clothes at times... and hopefully takes a shower as well. It wouldn't take much more effort during a shower to shampoo a shorter hair style too. It would probably even look reasonably ok even if it was just washed and allowed to dry naturally. Some short hair cuts practically style themselves. But since they're purposely doing this with her hair to illustrate her emotional distress, we're again getting that awful 'dirty hair skinned back' look. I know this 'hair thing' is being done on purpose but it sure isn't flattering to Nikki/MTS.

I've noticed the same thng re Nikki's hairstyle. She looks about 15 years older and 20 pounds heavier with her hair pulled back tight.
