On Monday, Rachel Hunter sparked some serious hair envy with an off-duty selfie. The model and ex-partner of Rod Stewart relaxed at home after a jam-packed day, showing off her Rapunzel-esque locks in the process.

The 53-year-old reclined in bed wearing a simple tank top and a host of silver and beaded necklaces, serving up boho chic as she enjoyed some downtime. Her golden blonde curls sprawled across her pillow, prompting us to make a case for natural curls this season.
