Khloé Kardashian, Cosmo's reigning hair chameleon (there's no arguing with the rules), is back at it again with yet another stun-n-ing beauty look. And this time, strafing away from her XXL lengths, the reality star has gone for a style that's bound to give you all the summer inspo. Think white-blonde tones and short choppy lengths.
We're getting whiplash from the mermaid waves on this week's Kar-Jenner family trip to Turks and Caicos, not to mention the long cowboy copper hair of her recent Fabletics campaign, and now what appears to be a peek at the star's natural hair length.
Snapping a selfie from the gym, Khloé is sporting peroxide blonde locks in a chic mid-length that looks to be quite blunt. We almost didn't notice because of the focus on her fave leggings and the magnificence of her shapely derriere, but then we clocked just how many inches of hair were gone!
As mentioned, Khloé is now sporting a shorter cut in comparison to her signature summer mermaid waves and as much as we'd like to believe that she's done a Jennifer Garner and gone for a dramatic chop, we think it's more likely that she's had her extensions removed. Though, speculations, theories and suspicions are more than welcome, ofc.
We've seen how methodically Khloé stores and keeps all of her hair extensions and wigs by colour and length, so it's safe to say these mermaid tresses are now labelled and packed in with their brothers and sisters in Calabasas until it's their turn to flow in the wind once more.
