Heidi Klum: Everything about supermodel Heidi Klum says, “natural beauty” right down to her simplistic, yet overtly beautiful long hairstyle. Center parts can sometimes drag a face down.
However, not Heidi’s because her bangs are strategically cut to fall at her cheekbones, giving her a face lift of sorts. Genius!

terrific on her. The deep side part gives her some height while the beachy waves provide interest to the style. Excellent coiffure, Hilary!
