Listen up because school is back in session, and Cindy Crawford is about to give us all a serious lesson in modeling 101. If you thought ruling the catwalk was all about the impressive stature, the even more impressive waistline, or waking up every day looking like you’re ready to shoot a ’90s Neutrogena commercial, the woman who basically invented the word supermodel is here to set the record straight.
Late Night with Conan O’Brien
According to Crawford, the secret all the best models in the world know isn’t how to reverse the aging process, although I’m pretty sure she’s got the inside scoop on that as well, but rather it’s how to expertly whip their hair back and forth (cue the Willow Smith song here). Last night, on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the original runway star and mom of burgeoning fashion phenomenon in her own right, Kaia Gerber, taught the audience exactly how to land their very own Herbal Essences campaign.

The whole move starts out easily enough, glancing down and brushing all of your hair to one side to allow ample opportunity for everyone to admire your glossy strands. But, of course, achieving true perfection can never be that simple, and Crawford quickly moves on to the actual toss where there appears to be some truly masterful techniques at play. The secret really lies in landing the effortless post-flip smize that implies you are well aware of your status as mistress of your perfectly-coiffed domain. Kaia should consider herself lucky to have such an expert modeling mentor, brow groomer and bestower of flawless genetics in her very own house.
