Do as she says, not as she does.

In an Instagram post, Heidi Klum told her followers that she was going to give herself a new set of bangs — and that the video was definitely not a DIY how-to. Instead, she was just giving her husband (Tokio Hotel musician Tom Kaulitz) what he said was his favorite hairstyle on her, "long hair with bangs."

It seemed like a genuine, spontaneous chop thanks to Klum's impromptu bathroom lighting, her lacy black bra, and her struggle to find the right scissors to do the job.

"Let's give it a try!" Klum said before she apologized to her stylists, Wendy Iles and Lorenzo Martin. "Sorry Wendy! Sorry Lorenzo! The husband should get what the husband wants."

Though she approached the whole situation with a sense of humor, saying, "He better notice this when he comes home tonight. This is clearly not a how-to video. Don't try this at home."

On her Instagram stories, Klum shared that she let both Iles and Martin know what she was doing. Their reactions went from disbelief (sad-face emoji) to applause and admiration (fire emoji). The DIY bang job got the seal of approval in the end, with both stylists commending Klum on her brand-new fringe.

The look is a return to form for her, since she'd just finished growing out her old bangs, People notes.

Just last weekend, Klum showed off her bang-free style in a selfie featuring her daughter, Leni. And just a few weeks before that, the two made a monumental fashion move together when they appeared on the cover of Vogue Germany's January/February 2021 issue.
