Ta-da, Kim Kardashian has curtain bangs. On Feb. 8, the Skims founder debuted her new haircut at a Valentine’s Day pop-up shop for her shapewear brand in Los Angeles. Her longtime hairstylist, Chris Appleton, took her long black hair and added ghost layers and side-swept bangs.

This look is quite different from her platinum blond era, which came to a close in the middle of 2022 when the entrepreneur went back to black. In January, she showed fans her real hair length in a candid TikTok on her joint account with daughter North West, showing her unstyled, shoulder-length hair.

Kardashian likely achieved her latest look with high-performing hair extensions and Appleton’s styling magic. Real or not, we’re loving this new style with extra volume coming from her layers and bangs.

In December 2022, Kardashian’s sister Khloé upped the ante with more dramatic bangs. She debuted wispy, Birkin bangs courtesy of Andrew Fitzsimons and later revealed that the dramatic look was simply from a clip-in hair piece and not an actual haircut.

Take a look at Kardashian’s new curtain bangs ahead, which she paired with hot-pink Barbiecore activewear for the Skims event.
