These 20 Kim Kardashian Hair Transformations Show She's Rocked Every Look Imaginable
There's no question that Kim Kardashian has become a legit style icon over the last decade. She's truly become a trendsetter in the style world and maybe that's because her looks are always so fierce and unpredictable. Um, remember her iconic Met Gala look from this past year? She rocked a nude dress that literally looked like it was dripping with jewels. On top of that, Kardashian's hair had this wet look that left all her fans in awe over how beautiful it was. While Kardashian's natural hair color may be jet black, it hasn't stopped the reality star and beauty guru from switching it up and experimenting with everything from platinum blonde and bubblegum pink, to mint green. Over the past 15-plus years, KKW has pretty much tried every hue and style imaginable. I've rounded up 20 Kim Kardashian hair transformations that will give you all the inspo.
Yes, I've only included Kardashian's best hair transformations, because if I were to talk about all of Kim Kardashian's different hairstyles over the years, well, you'd be reading forever, and you probably don't want that, right? It was definitely hard to choose just a few of Kardashian's most iconic hairstyles, but I think you'll love what I've picked out.
Crimped Waves
And you thought JoJo Siwa was the originator of the big bow! Even as a young child, Kardashian was total #hairgoals. "Me & my papa Arthur Kardashian," she captioned this throwback on Instagram. "My mom would crimp my hair all the time! I still have the same crimper machine and used it just recently." Snazzy!
Quintessential '90s
A 13-year-old, wide-eyed Kardashian pretty much killed the '90s fashion game with her ripped jeans, Tag Heuer watch, and black velvet choker. And check out her amazing natural locks styled half up and half down with those two face-framing wisps. It's all very Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. Oh and, BTW, I totally looked like this when I was 13, didn't you?
Swept To The Side
The side-swept, behind-the-ear look that Kardashian sported in 2006 would soon become a much-revisited classic style for the star.
Curls For Days
KKW channeled Mariah Carey in 2007 with long, voluminous locks and a glossy red lip.
The Casual Middle-Part
The center part and huge hoops Kardashian rocked in 2008 were a total "woke up like this" vibe, if you ask me. I love the way she looks so casual here, even though you know it prob took over an hour to get her layers to fall this way.
Way Up High
Here's another half-up-half-down look from Keeks in 2009, only this time she skipped the wisps and swept all of her locks back high off her head. She paired the style with an asymmetric gown and bare lip. It's all super glam, dontcha think?
She Bangs, She Bangs
Kardashian looked banging in 2010 with dark, layered locks and a forehead full of fringe. I know bangs are supposed to make you look youthful, but I actually thought these babies made KKW look more mature.
Bun Head
This super-tight ballerina bun from 2011 is totally on-point (en pointe?), even though, if I wore my hair like this, I'd surely end up with a massive headache. Also, I can't help but wonder if she's got one of those magic bun makers in there. I love the major statement earring situation she's got goin' on here, too.
Glam Waves
Only Kardashian hears the words "basketball game" and thinks "glamourus Jessica Rabbit waves." She does look amazing in this style circa 2012, though. Pay attention to her, Kanye!
Golden Girl
OK, so 2013 is when Kardashian started to get really adventurous. She lightened her hair to a golden shade that somehow looked completely natural on her. The whole thing is very, "I'll have a caramel latte with an extra curl on the side" — and it just works.
Shorter & Shaggy
Kardashian went back to brunette in 2014, and I'm totally digging this shorter, breezy style she adopted. The abbreviated length and super-soft waves really suited her facial structure, and I would love to see this look in the rotation more often.
Long & Low
I love a low pony, and the super-long and sleek version that Kardashian wore while preggers back in 2015 looked super low-maintenance, but also somehow seriously glam.
Light Bob Cut
Kardashian's medium-length bob cut in 2016 was pretty AF. I think I'll actually be saving this pic for haircut ideas in the future because it's really that cute. Thanks Kim!
Sleek, Blunt Bob
Kardashian kept that medium-length bob cut all the way to 2017, except the difference was that Kardashian went back to black hair and also parted her hair down the middle to give her a super sleek look.
Long Curls
In 2018, Kardashian finally let the long hair flow, and boy, was it long! Those curls only made her hair look even more fabulous.
Half-Up Long Ponytail
Rapunzel, who? Kim Kardashian's 2018 half-up long ponytail was so gorgeous, and the star's golden dress and long lashes only added to her fierce appearance.
Long Icy Blonde
The phrase, "expect the unexpected," couldn't apply to a person more than Kim Kardashian, because in 2018, the star wowed all her fans by rocking icy blonde locks that looked so sexy, BTW. No one, and I mean no one, can rock the icy blonde look better than Kardashian.
Back to Black
In February of 2019, Kardashian went back to showing off her gorgeous long black curls. Paired with a simple black dress, Kardashian looked absolutely beautiful at the AmfAR Gala.
Mint Green
Back in March of 2019, Kardashian debuted a mint green hairstyle that looked so pretty. I know I wouldn't be able to pull mint green off at all, but somehow, Kardashian manages to look good in every hair color imaginable.
The "Wet" Look
Remember the "wet" look I was talking about? For the 2019 Met Gala, Kardashian showed up with her natural black hair color, but just because it was her natural hair didn't mean that it was boring at all. In fact, it was the total opposite, because Kardashian had her hair styled to make it look fresh out of the shower yet, somehow, straight from the salon at the same time?
Short Bob
In June of 2019, Kardashian went to visit the White House to give a speech on prison reform, so instead of going out in full glam mode, Kardashian opted for a short bob to give her a more serious look. #KimKForPres
Black is Best
Fast forward to September 2019 and Kim Kardashian's short bob has transformed into a simple medium-length cut. Kardashian looks so glam here, and like a total boss. You go, Kim!
So those were just some of Kim Kardashian's best hair transformations. All in all, I think Kardashian looks so pretty with any hairdo and color. I wonder what she has up her sleeve for her next red carpet appearance!
