Cindy Crawford said that her daughter, Kaia, has something that belongs to her, and she wants it back.

The 56-year-old OG supermodel, who rose to fame in the ‘80s and ‘90s and has crossed over to the world of business with her own skincare brand, said that Kaia stole her hair.

In an interview with InStyle about her brand, Meaningful Beauty, which started as a skincare line and has moved into the haircare space as well, Crawford joked that Kaia “has my old hair, and I want it back!”

Her Hair Changed As She Got Older

The Illinois native was discussing the changes she saw in her hair as she got older.

“I look at my daughter and notice that her hair is shiny and healthy looking,” which was what her own tresses used to be. (Don’t know what she’s talking about because that mane is still gorgeous IMO.)

Seeing Kaia’s beautiful and youthful tresses inspired her to create a line of products specifically for aging hair.

Hair Ages Just Like Skin

“Everyone tells you your skin will age, but no one tells you your hair will age too,” Crawford told the publication.

How Hair Changes

Aside from turning gray, she said her hair also changes texture, becomes more brittle, sheds more, and loses shine as people age. Her new Meaningful Beauty product line called Age-Proof Hair Care System was created to address those issues.

The Story Of Meaningful Beauty

Crawford launched Meaningful Beauty back in 2004 as an anti-aging skincare line. In 2021, she added Age-Proof haircare but ran into supply chain issues. They relaunched this year, and the model-slash-businesswoman said they’ve done tests on different hair types with great results.

She Loved Big '90s Hair

In her interview, the fashion icon also reminisced about the trends of her modeling days, saying, “I loved ‘90s hair — the bigger, the better. But all that back-combing wasn’t necessarily kind to one’s hair.”

As for her current style, she said she still likes sporting big hair, specifically what she calls the “Madison Avenue blowout”, that she achieves using a round brush and Velcro rollers for maximum volume.

'90s Blowout Revival

Crawford thinks it’s great that the ‘90s blowout is being revived by the Gen Z crowd.

“It’s always fun to see trends and styles come back around but updated at the same time,” she said.
