26 Satisfying Pics Of Kylie Jenner The Hair Unicorn
We all know Kylie Jenner. Beauty mogul, youngest Kardashian fam member, and new mom, she's the kind of woman that has it all. She's known for many things, but our favorite thing about Kylie has always been how fearless she is with beauty, and how creative she gets with her hair! She's worn her hair in every color of the rainbow, and all possible shades in-between. Whether she dyes her hair, adds extensions, or dons a new gorgeous wig, her hair is always amazing and fun. But we couldn't help but wonder, as a new mom, will she continue trying new colors or is she ready for a more subdued look?
With Stormi's three-month birthday in the rear-view mirror, we took a look back at Kylie's hair history. While she seems to be keeping it mostly natural for the meantime, we know that Kylie has a wild side, and we're excited to see how Kylie's creativity is going to shine from here! No matter how she chooses to wear her hair, we know it's going to be fab. In the meantime, here are some of Kylie's best ever hairstyles. We can't help but feel inspired for a new summer 'do after looking through these amazing shots of King Kylie the Colorful!
26 “I'm Not A Regular Mom, I'm A Cool Mom!”
Kylie is known for her Coachella looks. The festival is known as a place where people can push the boundaries of their style and experiment with new, cool looks, so it makes sense that Kylie always pushes it to the max. This year was no different for her, although some people questioned if she'd go with a new baby at home. She showed up with all of her usual glamor and looked absolutely incredible!
On day one of Coachella this year, she wore a waist-grazing neon pink wig with minimal eye makeup and a bright highlight. She paired this beauty look with a white cropped tank top and later layered a nude-colored latex top and jacket set. Kylie posted a set of photos of the look on Instagram, showing her hair color hair really glow in the bright sunlight. In one caption, she credited the Cotton Candy Cream Kylighter she's wearing, which makes her skin shine in all the right places while still keeping her makeup understated. She captioned the other photo with the iconic Mean Girls quote "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom." With her hair this hot pink, we couldn't agree more!
25 The Brightest Barney-Purple
How gorgeous is this shade of purple!? Kylie wore this to Coachella last year (2017) and totally rocked it. She usually wears wigs for Coachella since it's difficult to dye hair too frequently, and she likes to wear more than one color per 'Chella weekend, to pack in as many great looks as possible (can you blame her!?). But since this color was wet, it's assumed that she actually dyed it. This was the first time Kylie had this shade of purple, and a lighter lilac might be easier to wear, but Kylie is never one to keep away from neon bright hair, and we couldn't think of anyone who could pull it off better.
She paired the bold color with a snakeskin set, with a matching one-sleeve python crop top and miniskirt. Since tons of people at Coachella go for a boho-hippy vibe, this sleek snakeskin look totally stood out. She looked sophisticated with gold jewelry accents and a nude lip. She followed this selfie with a series of videos on Snapchat on her way to the festival, and she seemed to really be feeling this look! We totally are, too!
24 Fire Red For Her 19th Birthday
Kylie pulled out all the stops for her 19th birthday, and we're not just talking about this firey hairstyle. She had an insane birthday weekend filled with all of her celebrity friends, which started out with a customized "King Kylie" bouncy castle. Yeah, we're jealous too. After that, her then-boyfriend Tyga gave her a casual $200k Maybach, and then they all jetted off to Turks and Caicos to get some vitamin sea. They spent the weekend lounging on white-sand beaches, having picnics aboard private boats, and of course, taking lots of pictures to document it all. However, the real standout moment for Kylie of the weekend was this red hair!
Since it's so intricately braided into cornrows, people thought this was Kylie's real hair dyed Red with a capital R, but it was actually just another really cool wig. Kylie paired this beauty look with the white tank top and delicate gold jewelry worn here for one look. For a second look, she kept the wig and wore a matching bright-red one-piece swimsuit and some insane red feathered slides. She didn't wear the hair color all weekend, unfortunately, but she did report via Snapchat that she was "happy and having fun." That's all we want for our birthdays, too!
23 Denim Blue For Day 3 Of Coachella 2018
Kylie went for a faded blue style as part of the second week of Coachella 2018. She dubbed the look "Denim Blue (OK)" in a caption, posting two selfies to Instagram. She shows off the length of the wig in the other photo, which cascades in blue curls well past her waist. She looks fresh and classic in this color, a toned down shade of blue when compared to some of her other hairstyles, but still, very attention-grabbing. We also love how this shade of blue compliments the honey-brown hue of her eyes, left to shine with minimal makeup.
She paired the "denim" blue wig with a white cropped tank and a pair of jeans, making for a very low-key Coachella 'fit by Kylie standards and a change from her very bold outfits of festivals past. The other difference from previous years is her jewelry choice. The "baby mama" necklace is a cute shout out to baby Stormi at home! She kept her makeup neutral, letting the tone of the color set the tone of her look. In this color, Kylie seems confident and content, ready to enjoy the music and dance in her comfortable clothes, all while keeping her daughter close to her heart.
22 Rainbow Braids In The Cali Desert
How gorgeous is this hairstyle!? Perhaps one of her most memorable looks, these rainbow braids made a huge impact and were definitely enviable. Almost instantly, copycats all over were trying to emulate this fun, unique standout look. Kylie wore these insane rainbow braids to-where else- Coachella in 2016. She hung out by the pool in a Discount Universe sequined bikini and fluffy slides, putting on a pair of unbuttoned denim cutoffs for a mirror selfie inside. She also stopped to take a selfie with her egg-McMuffin - Kylie Jenner, she's just like us. She later unbraided the plaits and let the hip-length rainbow waves run free, also putting on a Louis Vuitton scarf as a doo-rag and a black slip dress over a white tee to hang out on the grass with then-boyfriend Tyga.
There's still speculation over how she achieved this hairstyle and how it's best recreated DIY style. Because of the length, she's at least wearing extensions, but it's possible that the whole style is a wig. Since the colors are all pretty pastel, it's conceivable that these colors are done with Hair Chalk, which is a pigmented powder that sits on top of fair follicles rather than actually dying them. However she did it, this hairstyle is unforgettable!
21 Highlighter Hair: Her Most Famous Wig?
Think of the shape of a highlighter tip- now look at the angle and color of Kylie's hair in this picture. Iconic. Who but Kylie could make a wig like this look so flawless? Worn to Coachella in 2017, this look was yet another of Kylie's creations that instantly sent people to the salon looking to emulate her. She started "highlighter hair", a mixture of yellow and green neon color that looks like it might glow in the dark.
She shared a few photos of herself wearing this look, in which her muted gold dress comes across as a neutral color and works as a perfect foil against the bright hue of her tresses. The knit dress itself is gorgeous as well, featuring a high neck, short hem and exposed back. Kylie kept the makeup pretty neutral for this day as well, leaving the spotlight to her highlighter hair. Kylie spent the day hanging with her friend Jordyn Woods, sharing a boomerang of Jordyn giving her a judgmental look as she bit into a hamburger. We love this look, we love Kylie in this look, and we love Kylie eating hamburgers. You do you, booboo.
20 Peppermint Puff Green For Sugar Factory
Kylie debuted this mint green hairstyle for an event at the Sugar Factory in New York. She seems to have actually dyed her real hair this color, tagging her hairstylist Tokyo Stylez. She presumably has in extensions as well for that glamorous hip length. She wore it that night with a white coordinating crop top and pants set. She kept the style for about a month, wearing it to interviews as well as a photoshoot to promote her new lip kit colors. She even made a post dedicated solely to this hair color, captioning the image of herself from behind:
"Green has been my favorite color so far. Def making a comeback in the next few weeks."
She seems to have worn mostly white outfits while rocking this hairstyle, and we can't say we blame her; although gorgeous, that color is hard to wear with anything that isn't pastel! The seafoam green would not compliment many winter colors very well, summer or spring light colors would definitely work best. If you're thinking about dying your hair this color, take a lesson from Kylie and stock up on white jumpsuits. When worn right, this color is show-stopping, and the length and cut work to make this one of Kylie's best looks yet!
19 Emerald Green For A DASH Visit (RIP)
Kylie had her hair this bright emerald green color for a few weeks in December '15. She first debuted it with this white suit on a public visit to a DASH store (rest in peace, DASH stores. You will be missed). Once again, Kylie shows that the best way to wear a difficult color is to put it over white. This green is really tough to pull off because the color tends to overpower skin tones, and also because people compare you to the joker. She does a light brown eyeshadow and a taupe lip shade to keep the color palette subdued.
Kylie wore this out to lunch after the visit, captioning a photo "what an amazing day. More to come before Christmas." It's possible she chose green in honor of Christmas, getting festive in the season of red and green. Whatever the reason for her green hair moment, she had a sense of humor about the public's teasing of her new hair color. She put on a red hoodie, and posed for a selfie with some friends, captioning the photo "Don't you just love siracha bottles?" When a Siracha bottle looks like Kylie Jenner does, how can we say no?
18 Bubblegum Pink For V Day
Most people try to wear some pink or red for Valentine's Day, but Kylie went way out-of-the-box with pink hair instead! Kylie Jenner spent all of Valentine's Day 2016 with her then-boyfriend Tyga celebrating all over New York City. Tyga surprised her with a helicopter ride over the statue of liberty (um, swoon) and they also had a romantic dinner together. She revealed this pink look with a side-bang especially for the occasion and snapped the whole day to her followers. Kylie seemed thrilled with Tyga's surprise, and the two of them posed for photos together both in and outside of the helicopter, sharing a V-Day smooch.
Kylie was wearing a thigh-length golden velvet coat with matching trousers, and a beige fur sweatshirt underneath. She also wore light eye makeup and a lipstick that perfectly matched her pastel-pink hair color. Of course, since it was Valentine's day, Tyga got her red roses as well, which she took a selfie with in the helicopter. Kylie seemed to love her Valentine's Day surprise, but we loved her Valentine's Day hair more. We think this pink is a bold, fun look that could work well beyond the rose-hued holiday! More pink, please!
17 Mermaid Blue And Waist-Grazing
Kylie wore this to Coachella in 2015! How incredible is this mermaid blue hair? Kylie looks drop dead gorgeous with this hairstyle. She wore this bright, long blue style to party at Coachella with big sister Kendall and snapped the whole thing. Kylie wore a matching white shorts and crop top with a long white vest as a cover-up, and a light beige baseball cap to top it off. Kendall was the perfect foil to this look, keeping her hair natural and center-parted, and wearing a boho bikini top and vest with high-waisted denim shorts. Kylie and Kendall enjoyed some serious sister bonding time, dancing and hanging out the entire day.
Kylie also matched her nails to her hair and stacked up on arm candy, wearing a ton of her favorite Cartier love bracelets. She kept her makeup minimal with this look, and let her hair do the rest. Believe it or not, this was one of the first times that Kylie experimented with a whole-head of new color; before this, she had mostly just had her ends dip-dyed various colors. We love that she chose such a bold color to experiment with! She certainly had a dramatic makeover, and she hasn't stopped experimenting since!
16 Black And White And Braided All Over
Kylie and Kendall take Coachella once again, this time in 2016. Kylie, Kendall, and Kylie's then-boyfriend Tyga were all attending big sister Khloe Kardashian's Coachella pool party, and Kylie turned up the heat. She wore cornrow braids with a greyscale ombre effect, going from black at the roots to grey in the middle and white toward the ends. She wore this hairstyle to compliment her black swimsuit and matching black lace coverup. She accessorized with huge mirrored sunglasses, face paint and a plethora of stud earrings. With this look, she went a little darker on the makeup, doing a dark grey smoky eyeshadow and a nude lip, a beauty look echoed by Kendall for the occasion.
While she looked fantastic, some people found this look a little too mature for Kylie, who was then only 17 years old. Others still compared her latest look to Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel creative director who famously wears his long grey hair in a low ponytail. She clearly didn't listen to the negative feedback and has continued to do her own thing. The braids are actually quite practical for a pool party as well, to keep bleached hair ends out of the chlorinated water. Although, if Kylie's ends turned green, we're sure she'd pull it off anyway!
15 Rose Gold, Rosé Inspired
Kylie dyed her hair this gorgeous pink-gold hue in October of 2016. She captioned it "Rosé 🎀," and honestly, we can't think of a better way to honor summer passing. Rosé is synonymous with the season of sun, and, although not old enough yet to imbibe, we're sure Kylie herself will eventually be a big fan of everyone's favorite pink drink. We absolutely love her hair this color, which compliments a summer glow in a way that few colors can. Kylie paired the color here with a brown eyeshadow and a neutral lip. She also wore this hair color for a Kylie Cosmetics shoot, celebrating the launch of the Valentine's Day collection.
It seems like Kylie actually dyed her hair this color, as she had bleached blonde tresses before this and the color appears to fade over the following weeks in her photos. This look is glamorous and sexy while still being really fun, plus it's an easy color to achieve if you already have light-toned or bleached hair. With the summer sun right around the corner, this color could be quite the contender for a comeback this year!
14 Turquoise Tips At The 2014 Billboard Music Awards
Dip-dyed ends were one of Kylie's first forays into colored hair, and she kept the dark roots and blue ends look for nearly a year. Here she is posing for a selfie with a friend when she first got this hairstyle. She spices the look up a bit here by wearing a dark blue-black lip, and heavy lashes. Kylie clearly really liked this look, since she kept it for so long, varying the color only ever so slightly over time.
The first big event that Kylie wore colored hair to was the Billboard music awards in 2014, and she wore this exact hairstyle. Similarly to here, she wears this hair color with white, sporting a knee-length spaghetti-strap white satin dress with white lace-up heels. This is clearly a look that stayed with Kylie since she posted this same photo a year later as a nostalgic throwback. However, she hasn't worn any looks similar to this style for several years. If she ever were to go back to this look it would be a total throwback!
13 Ice Blue And Thriving
How happy does Kylie look in this selfie even without *really* smiling? Her hair was actually dyed this shade! She also had extensions in this color, but her natural, shorter hair was dyed to match. She wore this look for a while and seemed really confident in it. Kylie loved to couple this color with nude clothing, wearing lots of tan and beige, giving off total ice queen vibes. She also wore this hairstyle for a night out in a white-hot jumpsuit, a Kylie signature move. This color looks great with her brown eyes, and we love how she went lighter on her brow makeup, too.
While this color looks absolutely fabulous, one thing to think about before dying-especially if your strands are dark to begin with, like Kylie's, is that this will require a LOT of bleach. If you try this yourself, make sure to take good care of your hair, use plenty of leave in conditioner and hair masks, or even take a page from Kylie's book and try a wig. Either way, you're sure to look fabulous!
12 Peach Emoji Pink From NYC To Coachella
Kylie wore her hair this color for Coachella 2016, first displaying the color on Instagram and Snapchat. She actually wore this hairstyle first for a day around NYC, where it was still quite cold, as evidenced by her camel turtleneck dress and teddy bear fur coat. She moved on to Coachella Valley the next day, wearing this peach hair color for the festival. She wore this shade of pink-orange hair with a cropped plain white tee and high waisted denim cut offs, coupled with a small scarf tied around her neck as a choker.
At this point, people are more excited to see Kylie's Coachella hair color than they are to see the rest of her outfit, and the revealing of her creative new color every weekend of the festival is a highly anticipated event. Kylie also took the opportunity to show off her new Paper Magazine cover, proudly posing with a copy, and to reveal her new metallic lip kits, which sold out. It just goes to show the power of good hair, and Kylie happens to have some of the best.
11 Cerulean And Chic
In 2015, Kylie went through a serious bang moment. She had straight bangs with sleek black hair for the VMA's that year, which surprised everyone. Then, she did a photo shoot with Sasha Samsonova in which she wore various colors of wigs with bangs, including this very cerulean number. She captioned a photo from the shoot "My next look" with a smirking face, and low and behold was seen wearing this wig soon thereafter.
She wore this blue bob with blunt bangs out for an evening with friends. She interestingly paired the blue wig with double denim, wearing a button-down shirt and cut off shorts in the same shade, and creating an intensely monochromatic look. She also sported a dark, brown lip color and sunglasses past dark. One thing that stands out here is that Kylie's hairpieces are usually immaculately placed, and here her real hair is poking through underneath. This makes the wig come off as a playful and fun choice, something that she's not taking too seriously, which works well with the color choice.
10 Silver And Sleek
Kylie looks majorly glam with this dusty silver 'do. She rarely wears color on both her hair and her clothing at the same time, so in this instance where she desaturates her hair, it makes sense that she ups the ante with her clothing color palette. The shiny silver hair flows down to nearly her waist, and her pale skin echoes the desaturated beauty moment. She keeps it from looking too dead by doing some color on the lip and a crisp brow with neutral eyeshadow.
Her clothing is fresh and almost sporty, she looks to be wearing a bomber jacket with a vintage graphic pattern and a sequined embroidery in bright, contrasting colors. We love the detail that's also present in her nails, which are finished in a metallic color that looks both black and gold. Kylie always strikes a balance between color and neutral, and she's found one here that looks totally gorgeous.
9 Baby Kylie With A Sapphire Undercut
This photo is a major throwback! This is all the way back from 2014, and Kylie's 17th birthday. Which, you know, was only attended by Justin Bieber, the Game, and (before they were dating) Tyga. She had just started experimenting with hair color and was still living at home with Momager Kris. Kylie revealed in 2015 on her app that she first dyed her hair when she was 16, without getting her mom's permission. However, she said that from that moment on she was hooked, loving the feeling of "leaving the house for the first time as someone new." For a teenager, that's quite poetic, and we love that changing up her hairstyle was what gave Kylie confidence.
This is one of her first experiments, an undercut that has been dyed sapphire. Although this look is easy to hide and easy to love, it's not something that we've seen Kylie revisit as of yet. She seems to have taken to changing the color of her hair more than the cut or style, only experimenting a bit with bangs here and there. Maybe this is something we'll see more of as she's already gone through the color spectrum, but whatever gives her confidence is best!
8 Ash Grey For Spooky Halloween Vibes
Another of Kylie's first dye jobs, this pastel grey is perfect for Halloween. Which is exactly what Ky wore it for! In 2014, Kylie debuted this slightly purple-grey hair for the spooky holiday, posting a photo to Instagram and later wearing it to trick or treat. She accompanied mom Kris and nephew Reign to trick or treat, presumably around Calabasas. Kylie kept the hair color for a while longer, wearing it to a meet-and-greet with fans in Chicago.
With an ashy hue like this, it's important to not wash out skin with makeup, which even young Kylie was aware of. She does a rosy lip and rather than risk a matte eyeshadow, goes for winged liner and big, bushy top lashes. If only current Kylie could send baby Kylie some Kylighter, this look would be perfect!
While it only gets harder to pull off grey and white hair shades as people get older, we bet that Kylie would still look fabulous if she were to revisit this look today. Actually, even if Kris went grey-haired grandma-chic, we could totally get behind it!
7 Platinum Party Cowgirl
That! Shade! Of! Platinum! Kylie has never looked so fabulous. Platinum is not an easy color for a brunette to achieve, let alone to maintain, but it looks fabulous on Kylie. Her colorist (or wig buyer?) knew exactly what shade would compliment her skin rather than wash her out. In turn, she has her makeup done to compliment all of the silvery goodness going on, opting for dewy and bright skin, a barely-there lip shade, and full lashes and brows but just a light shimmer across the lids. So she's crushing it, and eating tacos.
She wore this look to her friends Simi and Haze Khadra's "Galactic Rodeo" birthday party (they're twins, and they were both dressed like cow-folk too). Ky's platinum crop could not match her silver getup in a more flattering way, but the other girls wore outfits in other colors. Kylie was clearly feeling this look, posting one video captioned "my inner space cowgirl came alive last night" and this photo, which she duly titled "always bring your own tacos." We couldn't agree more, Kylie. You are so wise.
6 Honey Hued With Blonde Brows
This ashy honey hue was one of Kylie's real dye jobs, as she explained on Instagram. She said that it "took months of not dying her hair and wearing wigs to get my hair back to health so I can do this!" So dying and bleaching your hair constantly does hurt it, even if you're Kylie Jenner. She sounded excited, stating she was going "ashy dirty blonde for fall." She took one last chance to warn people about the difficulties of hair dye, saying "this [is] a process," after thanking her stylists for their patience.
Sweetly, she suggested that the color choice was modeled after her older sister Khloe's then-blonde locks, saying "I'm coming for you Khloe!" We think it looks great on either of them! One thing we really love about how Kylie has styled this look is that she also lightened up her eyebrows, which is something that is rarely done since heavy brows are so popular, especially with the Kardashian sisters. Since new mom Kylie seems to be keeping things low-key for her everyday beauty, we think this honey blonde would make a great next choice for her!
5 Fire And Ice For Halloween With Jordyn
Even though Kylie was pregnant during Halloween 2017, she still decided to dress up and celebrate with her best friend Jordyn Woods. Kylie went as an angel and Jordyn dressed as a devil, in coordinated look-serving goodness. Ky wore a plunging white dress with huge feathered wings and an extremely high ponytail with glossy white waves (what was presumably a wig). She went out of her way to add something extra by piling on clumped-on white lashes and dangly diamond earrings (Ice has to have some serious ice). She kept the rest of her makeup low-key but glowing. Jordyn, alternatively, went with bright red on her eyes and lips, coordinating her eyeshadow and lip gloss to her red wig and costume.
Since Kylie was still keeping fully out of the public eye, they did not attend any documented Halloween events and posed for photos for the 'gram from only the chest up. We love this shot of the two of them, and wouldn't complain if Jordyn started doing red hair more often. Kylie posted a video of the two of them listening to Beyonce's "No Angel," and, referring to their opposite beauty looks, "fire&ice."
4 Subdued Navy For A Low-Key Day
Kylie dubbed this color "midnight blue" in an Instagram caption. She wore her hair this color in March 2016, first to a fan meet-and-greet in Orlando, Florida, and then home to LA. Kylie also sported this hair color to an event at the Sugar Factory, wearing a coral pink dress and posing with colorful, candy-filled drinks. She soon after posted a photo from that event to celebrate a new milestone of Instagram fame: 54 million followers. Kylie's wig maker Tokyo Stylez, according to Allure, did create this look for her, and he based it off of one he had made for Lil' Kim in 2014.
This color is incredible because it is such a subtle change from her natural dark locks, but it has a really powerful visual impact. It's a refined and elegant color, but it's still vibrant and cool. This color would be another great option for a certain young hot mom looking to do something a little different but still understated.
3 Power Powder Pink For Fashion Week
This powder pink banged wig is among the most underrated Kylie looks of all time. The fringed bang peeks over the sunglasses exactly right, and the slightly wavy tresses fall in just the right place. It looks particularly incredible with this bright gold foil dress, and the hair style's shaggy shape compliments the dress's geometric folds. Finished with thigh high black leather boots and oversized sunnies, this amounted to a really good outfit.
Kylie rarely goes for colored hair for fashion week events, opting usually for more serious blonde or brown styles. Here the color really works, adding just the right amount of cheekiness to an otherwise serious fashion look. She wore this to see Vera Wang's show, attending with best friend Jordyn, both wearing Kylie lip kit colors. She captioned all of her snaps of this outfit #VeraWangGang, so presumably, the outfit is by Vera Wang herself. We can't get over how fun this whole look is, and how much better the pink hair makes it!
2 Electric Blue For Dinner Date
Kylie wore this look to a dinner date at KOI restaurant in West Hollywood. The bright blue is striking, and when paired with the bright cherry red of her matching sweater, Gucci backpack, and Rolls Royce, it gives off major superhero vibes. The thigh-high black boots even are simple background support for this fantastic hue of blue. Honestly, an indie superhero film should be based on this image.
One of our favorite shades of blue that she's worn, this color looks almost natural on Kylie, as though it's an afterthought for her. Her clear, glowing skin completes this look, a comfy and low-key date night outfit. Without the hair color, this outfit wouldn't be boring, really, but it wouldn't be Kylie. But with the blue and the contrast of the red, this look is punchy, powerful and memorable, all while being effortlessly cool. Kylie, how do you do it?
1 Her Natural: New Mom, Fresh Cut
During most of her pregnancy, Kylie took a different approach from her sisters and stayed out of the public eye. Since she didn't post very much on any of her social media accounts, we didn't really know what to expect when she made her comeback. After giving birth to baby Stormi, she's been back on social media and into her regular routine. She seems to be working out and focusing on her wellness, as well as buying the cutest baby accessories on the market! We love her in this matching Fendi look, taking baby Stormi out for a stroll.
Along with this lifestyle reset, Kylie seems to be embracing her natural hair. She got a fresh cut and has been rocking it everywhere, most recently on her gorgeous vacation in the Bahamas with beau Travis Scott and their new baby. We think her shoulder-length brown locks are gorgeous and however she feels happiest is how she looks best!
