It's official: three is not a crowd, but a trend. In just 24 hours, Emma Stone, Emily Ratajkowski and Zendaya all debuted the (seemingly) most popular haircut of 2023: the bob. Having said that, four certainly makes for a party and thanks to Kourtney Kardashian and her recent antics, that is exactly what we've been granted.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Kourt shared two snaps; one of what looks to be her chopped-off strands alongside a pair of scissors, followed by a selfie debuting the new cut.
Although it looks to be wet (so, not in its naturally-styled state), the POOSH founder's locks sit just at ear-length, which qualifies as a chic 'French girl' bob – aka, an extra-short micro-cut that is typically worn by, and associated with, French natives.
Now, as much as we love her new 'do, what makes this so impressive is the fact that it's a DIY job. I mean, on a normal day, we wouldn't endorse such behaviour (although, I am very much guilty), as it's always best to leave these kinds of things to the professionals. However, seeing as Kourtney looks to have created such a clean-cut, we cannot not praise her!
What d'you think? I'd say that's a good few inches, right?!
And yes, I know what you're thinking: it doesn't take a Kar-Jenner fan like me to know that this isn't an out-of-the-ordinary hairstyle for Kourtney. Though, having said that, the one factor making this drastically different from her previous bob cuts is the length. The chic Parisian style is the shortest 'do she's ever had!
Everyone's clicking on...
So, if this – along with the many other celebs who are sporting the bob – isn't a sign for you to get a winter hair refresh, IDK what is...
