Kim Kardashian West Puts a Fresh Spin on Summer’s Coolest Updo
A blunt short cut may be the quickest way to make a hair change that beats the heat this summer, but Kim Kardashian West has a new solution in the form of a casual half-up pony. The mom of four stepped out in Calabasas yesterday with a slick half bun that called to mind the retro I Dream of Jeanie styles that have dominated summer streets for the better part of the last few years.
The partially pulled up style has been worn by everyone from Jessica Alba to Ciara—even Kendall Jenner gave it a go last week. But leave it to Kardashian West to up the ante on summer’s hottest above-the-neck trend, giving it her own spin: Rather than sporting the style with loose undone waves as fellow It-girls have done, the social media star showed off her latest choppy bob by slicking her roots with a dollop of sculpting gel, and fastening the high pony super tight. Consider the effortless Olsen-approved half-updo the season’s coolest hair trick, and one that never goes out of style.
