Kim Kardashian’s Hair Evolution Is Pretty Hilarious

By 2007, Kim debuted side-swept waves—though she hadn't quite figured out how best to rock the look yet.

We almost forgot, but Kim was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars in 2008 and had to wear a variety of hairstyles, including this faux bob.

Later in 2008 she experimented with bangs. But it didn't take long for her to get rid of them.

She attended the 2009 Grammys and wore a gorgeous slicked-back updo.

The summer of 2009 marked the first time Kim took the plunge into blonde hair territory.

By the following month, however, she was back to dark hair and wore a victory roll hairstyle.

In 2010 Kim added light brown highlights to her hair.

For a 2010 event she opted for a high-volume ponytail.

For her 2011 nuptials to Kris Humphries (remember that?), Kim wore her hair up and accented it with a diamond headpiece. The marriage only lasted 72 days, but this look is timeless.

In 2012 (and around the time she started dating Kanye West), Kim lost the extensions and started wearing a runway-ready, slicked-back look.

This 2012 messy braid is one of our favorite hairstyles on the reality star.

During her pregnancy in 2013 Kim gave herself a mini-makeover that included bangs.

She resurfaced after giving birth to North West with dark roots and blonde hair.

Back in action, Kim rocked romantic waves at the grand opening of DASH Miami Beach in 2014.

Kim's 2014 hair look was pretty much the same throughout: long, loose, Cali waves.

Changing it up at last, Kim pulled her hair back from her face for a Charlotte Tilbury event in L.A., putting the focus on her contoured cheekbones.

Though this hairstyle is almost identical to Kim's previous year go-to (loose waves), it looked fresh at the 2015 Grammys with her shorter crop (with no extensions in sight).

Don't forget that time Kim went platinum blonde for the Louis Vuitton show in Paris in March 2015, and the world gasped.

But just like the last time she flirted with blonde, Kim was back to her usual dark-brown tresses in no time.

Kim went for a elegant but low-key mid-pony for the Met Gala in 2015, letting the spotlight shine instead on her intricate dress.

Pregnant with baby Saint, Kim showed up at the 2015 MTV VMAs in August looking glam—rocking another perennial favorite, the slicked-back look.

Aaand it's platinum once again—this time, the occasion was Kanye West's Yeezy Season 3 show at Madison Square Garden in early 2016.

This is classic Kim: healthy, glowing, glossy strands, styled in relaxed waves (for the Webby Awards in NYC in May 2016).

Swerve! Kim showed off caramel-tinged hair and an asymmetrical lob in August 2016, proving that she can do more than her usual waves.

Later that August, Kim combined her two faves—slicked-back tresses and romantic waves—to show off a fresh-from-the-ocean style of long, slick hair on the VMA red carpet in NYC.

Jumping on the hair-extension craze of late 2016, Kim showed up for Paris Fashion Week in October with pin-straight hair down to there. Keep an eye out for what Kim will do for 2017!
