The 'Twilight' star has revealed she has taken to cutting her relatives' hair - including husband Ian Somerhalder - during quarantine as some salons were forced to close amid the coronavirus pandemic.

She said: "I have not stepped into a salon. I do my own cutting. I cut everyone’s hair in this household. I do all the haircuts. My mom’s a hairdresser so it’s not that foreign for me."

And the time in lockdown has also taught Nikki to embrace her natural hair.

Speaking to People magazine about her own hairstyle, she added: "I spent my whole life looking a certain way, and then I just woke up one day and was like, 'What if we’re actually more beautiful the way that we’re supposed to be?' Maybe I would look more like me - whatever that means - if I just embrace what I look like without flat ironing and curling or whatever. I watched this tutorial on cutting your hair for your hair texture, and now I’m just really feeling more like myself."

Meanwhile, Ian previously confessed "communication" is the key to a healthy marriage.

When asked what keeps his romance good, Ian - who shares three-year-old daughter Bodhi with Nikki - said: “Communication, taking time for yourself, for yourselves together … She’s the first one that says, ‘go, go on a bike ride, go socially distance walk with your buddies, go have a bourbon at the bar,’ you know, like just go.

"We don’t really fight. I just basically … Well, I’m a tornado. I literally live, and I’ve learned this now as a parent. Cause I, you know, being a parent forces you to reckon with all of the things that, who you are really comes out, not just in a marriage, but when you become a parent and I am a tornado."
