Heidi Klum's Partial Up-Style
Heidi Klum is one of the most well-known supermodels in the world. Seen in everything from ad campaigns for Victoria's Secret lingerie to photo shoots for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition, Ms. Klum is one of the most beautiful women today. One of the things she is most famous for is her silky, golden hair.
Heidi has parlayed her modeling success into film and television roles, further expanding her exposure and recognizability. Whether she's on the runway, on TV, or on the big screen, she's always breathtaking.
While Heidi Klum, as a model, has had many different lengths of hair, she is shown here wearing her hair chest-length, or what would be called mid-back if viewed from behind. Although it's difficult to tell from this style, Heidi's hair actually contains some layering around the face. This was verified by researching additional photos of Heidi.
To get the cut shown here, all you need to do is section the hair in the standard seven-section parting, leaving down a half-inch perimeter. Cut an inch-wide guide in the front bangs area and a similar guide for the sides by drawing two segments together from each side of the face and cutting them as one to ensure evenness. Continue by cutting a guide in the center back of the hair.
Comb the hair in front of the ears forward at an angle (as shown) and cut along a vertical cutting line to create layers. Cut the back in a blunt cut by cutting the perimeter from the middle to one side, then the other, using zero elevation.
Next, lower the sectioned hair in increments and continue the blunt cutting from the middle to the side until all the hair is down and the cut is complete. Use a razor tool to soften the ends of the hair and create a smooth finish.
The Style:
As shown here, Heidi is wearing her mid-back hair partially up, smoothed away from the forehead, and styled to lie sleek against the scalp. The up portion of the hair is taken from the top and sides of the head with an angled dividing line that starts in front of the ears.
Iron the hair in small sections, using long, smooth strokes as you work your way through the hair. Once the hair has been ironed smooth, the hair in the top and side sections should be brought up and back to the crown of the head and secured using a ponytail holder, comb, barrette, or other hair accessory. Smooth the hair below the gather in with the rest of the hair.
The type of accessory can reflect the occasion, dressing the hairstyle up or down as the situation dictates. You can use everything from simple silk cords to jeweled hairpins or brooches to create a simple and elegant or festive look. Finish the style by applying a light mist of spray laminator or shine enhancer and brushing it through the hair to add gloss and sheen.
