As a fall enthusiast, I eagerly await my approaching birthday, but the impending cold weather isn’t quite as appealing. It’s perplexing to witness the rush towards autumn and pumpkin spice lattes (seriously, why are Halloween decorations already popping up everywhere?) right after Labor Day. Thankfully, Kim Kardashian’s recent bikini post serves as a reminder that summer officially persists until September 23 this year. Moreover, she showcased some of the most refreshingly unconventional hair we’ve ever seen from her.
On September 6, Kardashian shared two mirror selfies sporting a metallic gold bikini and her disheveled, dark hair — or at least, what qualifies as disheveled in Kardashian’s world. Now, we have no qualms about a bit of bedhead (it’s a personal favorite), and there’s a reason messy buns enjoy immense popularity as a hairstyle. However, it’s a rarity for the reality TV icon to present images in which her hair doesn’t appear impeccably styled.
In these selfies, her brunette locks were loosely swept behind her, revealing only the portion above her shoulders. It appears that the star opted for loose, tousled waves that gracefully fell toward her waist. While sleek, frizz-free hairstyles are undoubtedly stunning, we can’t help but appreciate those rebellious strands of hair making their presence known, along with the added volume at her crown. It almost appears as if her roots received a teasing for that extra lift.
It’s entirely plausible that this carefree, tousled hair was a deliberate styling choice rather than Kim Kardashian simply flaunting an old blowout or curls. This choice makes perfect sense for someone who’s accustomed to being in the spotlight at virtually any moment.
