Although she's shocked fans with quick transitions between ultra-long extensions, blunt bobs, and even a neon-green wig, Kim Kardashian's latest hair transformation may just be her boldest look yet. On Tues., the 38 year old took to Instagram to tease one of her latest KKW Beauty products — and with it, a new haircut. Kim Kardashian's bangs will inspire you to book an appointment with your hairstylist.

As with most holidays, Kardashian is celebrating Valentine's Day this year by adding a new collection to her iconic makeup brand, KKW Beauty. What started with her famous contour kits has rapidly expanded to include more daring products like sparkle-infused eyeshadows and a wide range of lipsticks.

Since she's stuck to a signature nude lip look over the past few years, her newest selection of festive red lipsticks comes as a bit of a shock. What was even more unexpected, though, was her new promotional imagery that featured the entrepreneur wearing thick, full bangs.

With celebrity stylist Chris Appleton's helping hand, there's practically no hair look Kardashian can't achieve. And while her most recent "chop" is probably the work of an incredible-looking wig, she's sure to influence others to make a more permanent style adjustment.

Kim K. seems to have followed the lead of a handful of other celebrities who have constructed their own version of the unique hairstyle as of late. Of-the-moment models like Bella Hadid and Alanna Arrington have given bangs a go, while actors like Reese Witherspoon and Mila Kunis have worn bangs for a number of seasons now.

Despite the fact that bangs have gained a bad reputation in the world of at-home styling, keeping up with the cut is a lot easier than you may think. Whether your hair is tightly coiled, stick straight, or full of volume, bangs are never out of the question. Taking the plunge at the salon is the first step, followed by compiling a list of products you'll need to recreate Kardashian-worthy glamour at home.
