Heidi Klum's new layered bob: love or hate?

By Lucy Hutchings  on Wednesday 21 April 2010

Heidi Klum reveals new shorter hair - layered bob and fringe

While many stars may seem to change their hair on a daily basis, Heidi Klum has had a long-standing love affair with long honey-hued locks  - but not any more!

The supermodel has ditched the length, and chopped her hair into a shoulder-grazing layered bob, complete with soft fringe and feathering to frame her face.

But it's not just the length that's all change. Toning down the colour, those highlighted golden yellow shades have been replaced by darker, ashier tones.

Now we want you opinion! Do you love Heidi's new 'do, or should she stick to the longer look? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Oh dear. Sorry Heidi, but I hate it! Way too boring for a stunning supermodel. It makes her look frumpy.
Comment by Julia on April 21 09:22

DISASTER! Why God WHY! She looks like Hayley Joel Osmont (you know, that kid from Sixth Sense???)
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Comment by Kelli on April 21 09:55

Hmm, have to agree with the other two posts...oh dear and why?!
Comment by Sangeeta Waldron on April 21 12:42

OH NO!!!! What has she done!!! Before the pic loaded, I imagine a sleek, shiny bob, with longer layers in the front, and graduated at the back. This is the opposite. The colour also washes out her face. She looks old:(
Comment by Azrina on April 21 12:43

Oh NO, i think it's just put 10 years on her. Sorry to say it. Should of stayed long. x
Comment by Melissa on April 21 12:45

Not a fan at all ....makes her face look really old and changes the shape of her nose !!

Amazing what a hair do can do !!!

Grow it back asap !

Comment by KW on April 21 12:48

Is there some rediculous rule that says women over 40 can't have long hair? This has aged Heidi at least 10 years. I recommend hair extensions or a wig...
Comment by Tania on April 21 12:55

OMG, she looks so much older with the new cut and frumpy too.

Yeurgh, sorry Heidi - hate it!
Comment by Sam on April 21 12:55

HATE!!!!!!!!! this has definitely aged her by many MANY years...
Comment by Robyn on April 21 13:00

Not loving, not hating it, but one thing is sure: beautiful women remain gorgeous with any kind of hair style, even bald.
Comment by Ildiko on April 21 13:01

awful! i think she looks far better with longer hair in the other picture...sorry Heidi
Comment by Katie on April 21 13:04

God, it looks absolutely awful. The layers are very chunky and do nothing for her at all! Now she just looks like a quite pretty 40 yr old mum, not a stunning supermodel!
Comment by Georgina Pearson on April 21 13:15

I agree - makes her look a lot older and kind of bigger!
Comment by Helen on April 21 13:21

Oh no!! Heidi's new haircut does not suit her at all. It's s strange length and the feathering at the sides just makes her look a lot older and quite frumpy. She should have kept it long or at least a much sleeker bob.
Comment by Jo on April 21 13:31

How to make yourself look older in one easy step? Look no further than Ms.Klum.
Comment by Therese on April 21 13:35

She looks older
Comment by Nino on April 21 13:38

Right away I thought it makes her look older. long hair can sometimes make an older women look younger. I think if I cut my own hair I would look older.
Comment by Dawn on April 21 13:43

She is so beautiful she could get away with any hairstyle but have to agree with everyone that I much prefer her old hairstyle!
Comment by Louise on April 21 13:57

Yes it makes her look older, to that there is no question, but why is that necessarily a bad thing? And before you ask or presume, Im 36. I just think it has made her look mature and grown up, but not necessarily in a bad or negative way. She still looks beautiful just in a more elegant and sophisticated way, but its still at an equivalent level! And hair dressers will tell you that it is indeed a fact that once a woman gets past 35 long hair in the majority of cases just excentuates the aged look to the face.
Comment by Rosemarie on April 21 14:18

Heidi has got lovely hair so to make it look average is not easy to do, and that's what this hair makes her look - average. She should sack this stylist because her hair usually looks great. It's not terrible but she can look waaaay better!
Comment by Gemma on April 21 14:22

Well it wasn't what I was expecting but it does do some great things for her face. She looks more groomed and projects so much more personality (and intelligence) than with the ubiquitous long haired look. - Oh, and yes, technically she should look older - this is a before and after!!
Comment by Linda on April 21 14:44

It looks like a high school photo from the 70s. If only she'd at least gone for a 'wow' colour to counteract the style she might have pulled it off. Looks like she's about to pick up her kids from school.. might be right..
Comment by tee on April 21 14:53

no no no no no!!! I have to agree with all the other comments.... defintely makes her look frumpy and dare i say it middle aged... sorry
Comment by Katie on April 21 15:11

That is soooo wrong. My god Heidi why did you want to add 20 years to yourself? Eeeeeek. Hair extensions and sharpish...
Comment by Tracie on April 21 15:13

Blimey alot of new hair haters out there, judging of the two photos above is difficult and I think once it's out there abit more people will like it. I personally think its very 60's and pretty, I think long hair on older ladies can look abit odd
Comment by Kelly Hall on April 21 15:51

NOOOO! Sorry Heidi but this just doesn't do anything for you. From a modelling view it puts too many years on your face. The long blonde hair needs to come back even if it means extensions!!
Comment by Katie on April 21 16:14

Her outfit really isn't helping either. I don't agree that it makes her seem more intelligent - you shouldn't need short hair to seem intelligent. It's very stereotypical to say it defines her in a different way such as 'sophisticated' it just doesn't look as good. It's not an 'on trend' style.
Comment by Katy on April 21 16:31

I think she looks younger and more natural.
Comment by Roz on April 21 16:57

It's quite hard to judge from that picture - to me she's got that look we can all identify with of 'eek, I've just had my hair cut short and I'm not quite sure what to do with it'! Personally I'm glad she's ditched the long blonde hair, it's so unoriginal. You'd think it was the only hairstyle available to judge by all the celebrity women who have it!!
Comment by Lindsay on April 21 19:27

My oh my. What a matronly, staid look. True, it can always grow. This new cut totally ruins her face. She should have kept it long.
Comment by Jane Lipson on April 21 20:51

No, bless her, she looks like a soccer mom! She was kooky and sexy before, now she just looks a bit old and frumpy as the others have said. :(
Comment by Amy on April 21 21:35

Yuk! I can't believe she's still smiling! If I walked out of a salon looking like that I'd be crying my eyes out!!
Comment by Alison on April 21 22:26

i like it makes her look fashionalbe and younger...long hair is soo out dated, prob wouldnt have gone for the fringe but she carrys it off well
Comment by cat on April 21 23:49

I love it! I think she looks pretty and sophisticated with that haircut. It kind of looks like a stereotypical "French" haircut. I also don't think it makes her look older.
Comment by Jennifer on April 22 05:22

Oops, looks like one of her kids cut it! Was imagining a sharp, cool style. Makes her look ordinary.
Comment by Sue B on April 22 09:09

It makes her look dull.
Comment by Michele Rickitt on April 22 12:55

Sorry... liked it much better before
Comment by Sadie on April 22 21:09

Olivia Newton -john in the 80s ,awful
Comment by diana on April 23 15:44

Oh my goodness...this looks like a photo from the 70's. It's awful, she looks like she should be in the New Seekers or something. Dreadful, makes her look much older and it turns a gorgeous woman into an old frump.
Comment by Diane on April 23 18:01

No sorry, I'm not keen. I didn't like her when she went platinum blonde and I don't like this either. She looks better when she's just the natural beauty.
Comment by Allison on April 25 17:26

YUCK! She looks like some random chick, not the beauty she really is. I Don't like it, get hair extensions NOW!!!!
Comment by Sandy- London on April 27 13:36

I guess she must be bored with the super-model look and is opting for frumpy Librarian look! Applologies to all non frumpy librarians out there!
Comment by Hennamay on April 29 13:05

Disaster!! Gorgeous woman who just made herself age by 20 yrs! Frumpy and unsexy!!
Comment by MMC on April 29 20:47

Love it, she's a mummy now she probably had it tied in a bun all the time when it was long. It's only hair it's not like it won't ever grow again.
