At the end of season two, there’s that scene where Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte are sipping Cosmos at a bar around the corner from Mr. Big’s engagement brunch to Natasha at The Plaza. The girls liken Carrie’s situation to Barbara Streisand’s character Katie in The Way We Were. Miranda explains that Robert Redford’s character Hubbell Gardner couldn’t be with Katie “because she’s too complicated…and she has wild, curly hair.” To which Carrie, holding up a few of her ringlety strands, says, “Hello? C-c-c-curly.” Miranda continues: “He leaves her and marries this…simple girl with straight hair.” Then and there, Carrie decides the world is made of two types of women: The “simple” girls and the “Katie” girls. “I’m a ‘Katie’ girl, and where are our drinks?” After confronting her Hubbell, Mr. Big, Carrie hypothesized: “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.”
Rewatching this scene, how can you not be nostalgic for Carrie’s untamed curls? “Before a scene would shoot, [Sarah] would run her hands through her hair to get it going; that was her vibe,” recalled hairstylist Sacha Quarles, who worked with Sarah Jessica Parker on SATC seasons two, three, and four. “It wasn’t just a magazine cover. It was beauty with a real-life feel to it.” Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for her elevated waves on And Just Like That... Again, is 2023 Carrie’s prerogative to have a new, more controlled, more precise hair look. Unlike the old days, she can certainly afford the weekly blowouts that set the stage for her artfully crafted bends.
