I keep forgetting Heidi Klum is married to Tom Kaulitz. It’s been two years and we never hear anything about them, so I guess that’s good. Recently Heidi posted a short video to her Instagram of her changing up her look. That’s not exactly newsworthy for a model, I realize. It is, however, when it’s a supermodel who is cutting her own bangs alone in her bathroom for her husband. According to Heidi, she asked Tom what his favorite hairstyle was and he replied, “long hair with bangs.” So she cut her grown out bangs into shaggy fringe all on her own and documented her journey for us to see.
When the mood strikes, Heidi Klum switches up her hairstyle! But instead of taking a trip to the salon or arranging a visit with her glam squad, the 47-year-old supermodel decided to get creative with a pair of scissors and DIY some fringe bangs in her bathroom.
Yep, that’s right — she gave herself a choppy set of bangs completely on her own. And honestly, they look pretty good! What prompted such a spur-of-the-moment decision you ask?
Well, Klum asked husband Tom Kaulitz what his favorite hairstyle is. Surprise, surprise, it’s “long hair with bangs.” As such, Klum strutted over to her bathroom in a black lacy bra and a white robe and grabbed a razor from her drawer.
The Project Runway judge documented her at home haircut, posting the entire process via an Instagram video on March 25. “My husband wants bangs, my husband gets bangs 💇♀,” she captioned the post.
While the change is quite noticeable, the jury is still out on if Kaultiz recognized the transformation. “He better notice this when he comes home tonight,” Klum jokes in the video.
You can watch Heidi’s IG video below. I have to be honest, I thought the video was going to rankle me but it’s pretty cute. I got the impression she asked Tom for his opinion and she made the choice on her own, he didn’t ask her to do it. And since she’s doing it in her bathroom without her regular team of Wendy Iles or Lorenzo Martin, it sounds like it was something fun and sexy she wanted to do for him. That’s kind of sweet. Heidi is appropriately nervous throughout the video and she repeatedly messes up. Ultimately, she does a fine job and with her face, she can carry a botched bang job. I felt her when she said he’d better notice. “Noticing” is not always a guy’s strong suit. I was impressed that Tom even had an answer to what his favorite hairstyle was. I think mine would’ve pointed to my head and said, “that one, I guess.” It would be funny if Tom got the terminology wrong, though. What if he saw her and said, “oh, those are bangs? Wait, what is the part you put in a scrunchie called, then?”
I almost cut my own hair this weekend, I’m so desperate. I literally shut my hair in a door the other day and got yanked backwards as I tried to walk away. I know, I know – lesser problems. I check my salon’s website every day. I’m on their list to call when they reopen, but I also know how long that list is so I’m going to be dealing with this mess a while longer. Maybe in the meantime I can just wear mine in a pony and tape that header shot of Heidi to my face.

The bangs give her a younger appearance..
I’m so stupid, I was watching the SUPERMODEL cut her own bangs and I though “wow, that looks good. I should do that.” Thankfully, I remembered that I am not a supermodel.
**Me watching every makeover episode of ANTM.
She kind of looks unrecognizable in the video… both before and after. I cut my own hair too. I have pro scissors and some training though. And I cut other people’s hair, so I do a pretty decent job, but it’s tough on yourself so I can’t wait when I can go places without a mask and have a perfectly straight hairline at the bottom. Right now it’s straight, but not as perfect as it should be because I can’t section it into thin enough slices because it’s on myself and I won’t see the guide, ugh, cutting hair is so simple, I wish somebody in my household learnt it and helped me out.
Heidi did a great job. I don’t think bangs are super difficult to cut, she was smart to keep them fairly long. My husband cut my hair this past Saturday night, just in time for our 36th wedding anniversary today! I’m post-menopausal and my hair has gotten thinner over the years. It was halfway down my back, and was so straggly and damaged that it got tangled constantly and looked terrible. Fortunately it was a long bob in January 2020 when I last got it cut. So I gave him the scissors and said, “two inches.” He did a great job and it looks so much better! But I’m still gonna see my hair person in 6 weeks when I’m fully vaccinated.
That’s actually a cute vid lol.
I’m confused. She had been wearing bangs for quite a long while. She even got married two years ago with bangs. Did she grow them out or something and now just cut them again? I like them on her.
Oh, never mind! LOL I just watched the video. She had just grown them out.
I still remember old interviews from german tv music shows in which 15 year-old Tom (who had dreads and used to wear lots of snapbacks) says stuff like “I wanna marry a supermodel”…and I just can’t help but laugh!
Sometimes dreams do come true… aaaaw man, yeah , I remember those too.
