Which is why the experts at London hair salon Top One have revealed the most iconic Kardashian hairstyles of all time, according to social media views and hair hysteria. Not only that, but they’ve shared their top tips to help you recreate the looks too So, if you need a dose of #hairspo, look no further…
Kendall’s auburn Locks

Kendall Jenner was all over our feeds last year when she swapped her signature brown locks for a sleek auburn look. TikTok hashtags for “Kendall Jenner Auburn Hair Gloss Formula” quickly racked up over 65 million views, with countless videos of people trying to recreate the look. And there’s no better time to go auburn than Autumn, with fiery coppers and rich chestnut hues making a comeback year after year.
According to the Top One team, there are a few things you need to consider if you’re going to rock the red this season. Firstly, don’t wash your hair too much as it can cause your colour to fade quicker. And when you do wash your locks, opt for colour-safe formulas to help keep your hue vibrant. Also, try to avoid sulphates in your shampoo, as they can also encourage red tones to fade quickly.
Kim’s blunt bob

It wouldn’t be a most iconic Kardashian hairstyles roundup without Kim making an appearance. She is the reigning queen of hair reveals after all, and her ever-changing styles never fail to impress. On TikTok, #kimkardashianhair has nearly 60 million views, and one style that had everyone reaching for their scissors was this summer’s face-framing blunt bob – one of 2023’s hottest hairstyles.
Inspired to brave a bob à la Kim but want to keep it smooth and shiny? The team at Top One say, “Although it’s scary taking the plunge when chopping those locks, keeping a bob looking sleek is pretty easy. Hydration is a bob’s best friend as it keeps the ends smooth and flyaways at bay, leaving your hair looking healthy. We also recommend getting regular trips to keep on top of any split ends and to maintain the blunt cut.”
KhloÉ’s lOB

The Kardashian sisters are also big fans of a long bob (aka a ‘lob’), with both Kim and Kylie sporting them over the years. Khloé is also known for wearing her hair in the same style after debuting the look back in 2017. Last year, she went for a lob again, this time choosing a slice style with blunt edges. And yes, people went mad for it, with the hashtag #khloekardashianlongbob reaching a whopping 27 million views on TikTok alone.
The Top One team adds, “Lobs strike the perfect balance between short and effortless, but still long enough to style. Khloé is a great example of the different styles you can explore with a lob. Keeping it straight and sleek is just one option. You can curl it, or even create soft beachy waves. It’s a great style to choose if you want to go for a bobo but are apprehensive of going super short like Kim’s 90’s inspired blunt bob.”
Kylie’s Blue Ombré

As the ultimate colour chameleon, Kylie Jenner has never been one to shy away from bold looks and bright locks. And, unless you were living under a rock, you’ll remember the major moment back in 2014 when she emerged at the BMA’s with a blue ombré bob. Aka one of the most iconic Kardashian hairstyles ever. She had, of course, previously sported a classic brown to blonde ombré (a top trending look at the time), but her blue ‘do is still a firm fan favourite, with #kyliejennerbluehair raking in over 4 million views on TikTok. Amazing considering TikTok didn’t even exist then.
Of course, going blue requires a lot of thought and care, so Top One have revealed what you should and shouldn’t do if you want to do a Jenner. “Keeping on top of blue shades is key as it can fade quickly into a green colour. Try to keep washing to a minimum, and especially avoid washing with anti-dandruff shampoos as these can fade hair colours fast. Instead, opt for a purple shampoo to help keep the vibrant hues.”
Kris’s Pixie Cut

Kris Jenner, our favourite momager, is best known for her trademark pixie cut. But in 2018 she took the leap and bleached it, taking the world by storm with her new icy ‘do. Of course, the Kardashians are no strangers to bleached hair, with Kourtney opting for a bleach-blonde bob earlier this year and Kim sporting her fair share of bleach over the years. However, Kris’s more extreme makeover still has people talking, and the hashtag #blondekrisjenner has over 55,000 TikTok views.
If you’re considering going bright blonde, the Top One team says, “Bleaching your hair is a big decision and it can take a lot of work to get the colour you want. Unlike most, the Kardashians have their own glam team of hair professionals to help them achieve an icy white blonde. Always leave bleaching to the professionals and don’t attempt to do it yourself. Box bleach can damage the hair, even causing severe breakage that cannot be undone.”
