INSPO: THE HAIR-VOLUTION OF KIM K

Love or loath her… there’s no questioning the (colossal) star power of Kim Kardashian West. A style chameleon in her own right, this mama-mogul has transformed her appearance into a full-fledged brand, with more than a couple of million followers, dollars… and business ventures to show for it. From her hourglass proportions (cue the corset) to her carefully crafted beauty personas, this chic is one trend-starter who just won’t quit. To celebrate Ms. West’s 39th birthday, we trace her unbelievable hair-volution to date. Get ready.

BABY KIM

Fresh faced and ready to build an empire. A young Kim sports her infamous raven locks, 90’s brows and that trademark smile.

ON THE LIGHT SIDE

Kim makes her first foray into the blonde arena with this warm, caramel hue.

THINK PINK

Pink hair, don’t care. Because who doesn’t love a good candy shade and snapchat combo?

BLONDE AMBITION

Kim well and truly turned heads with this look, stepping out at Paris Fashion Week with peroxide blonde hair.

HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR

Hollywood glam; Calabasas style. Kim flaunts her trademark, classic waves… and curves.

THE LOB

The crop that spawned a thousand imitations; this sultry, textured lob our girl Kim debuted at the 2015 Grammys. We say yes.

STRAIGHT LINES

Sleek, straight and oh so glossy. This chic ‘do has to be one of our favourites.

RASTA READY

Kim channels Bo Derek’s iconic ’10’ hairdo for this braided look.

NEON CRUSH

Kim made onlookers green with envy sporting this neon hue in all it’s fluro glory.

HIT THE BLEACH

Only Kim K could pull off bleached blonde strands with uber dark roots and send a slew of onlookers into a frenzy.

BLONDE APPEAL

Kim revisits the lob, this time blonder.

CHER-ING IS CARING

Kim has long expressed her adoration for Cher, and in her greatest homage yet, the reality star returns to her extension-roots for a new, long haired ‘do.

LIVED-IN LUXE

Middle part, lived-in waves and just a hint of volume. This look marked a welcome departure from Kim’s overly curled locks of yesteryear.

A WHOLE NEW WORLD

Here Kim channels another Middle Eastern icon; Princess Jasmine.

PONYTAIL GOALS

Kim let’s her face do the talking with this slicked-back, polished ponytail.

GET WET

It’s a look she’s been sporting as of late; glossed up, wet waves that ooze sex appeal. This one’s a keeper.

MET-ALLIC MAGIC

We can’t forget this Met Gala moment. Kim made waves with this gelled back take on the wet look; offset by barely there brows. Iconic.

SHORT & SLEEK

Proving she can do no wrong, Kim made the ultimate chop this year (with a little encouragement from celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton) rocking the bob that launched a million screenshots.

90'S CHIC

Kim sported chocolate brown streaks for the launch of her 90’s inspired makeup collection. Goals.

DRIPPING & DIVINE

Saving the best for last. In one of her most iconic looks yet, Kim stepped out in this mermaid-esque Mugler number, completing the look with aptly washed-out waves. Absolute perfection.
