It looks like Kourtney Kardashian really is the Queen of the bob haircut. Now, this is not new news as the reality star maintains a revolving door of short hairstyles. We've seen her go from XXL mermaid waves to a 'lob' cut in a matter of days, so a dramatic Kardashian Kut cut is everything but unexpected. Though what is new is Kourt's autumn hair refresh and TBH, we'd go as far as to say that it's *arguably* the shortest it's ever been.
Taking to her Instagram story to gauge a fan opinion of the debated cut, Kourtney posted an inspiration picture of her sister, Kendall Jenner with an extra short black bob and fringe hairstyle. Attaching a poll to the post, she wrote 'Debating this haircut' with 'Yes' and 'No' options.
Although only 30% of voters opted for the go-ahead, Kourtney was not deterred. Instead, just a mere six hours later, the deed was in fact done. In the video story that followed, the mum-of-three wrote: "so I didn't do the full cut, but she got a lil' chop" alongside tagging the artist behind her hair, Peter Savic.
Just like in the hair-spo pic, Kourt has gone for a blunt short bob, taking a few inches off at the ends. Although admittedly, her hair wasn't much longer previously, there is a noticeable change. To compare, here's her 'before' just below shoulder-length hairstyle:
And here is another look at the just above chin-length 'after':
In terms of styling, Peter has gone for the pin-straight look to keep as much length as possible. Though, we're super intrigued to see how it would look curly...

Just like last year, we predict the short bob cut will be everywhere this autumn/winter. Book in with your hairdressers now whilst you still can...
