protip_icon Before You Get Started
  • Most of Kylie Jenner’s hairstyles give a naturally thick and wavy vibe. Therefore, you may need lots of volumizing spray, curling tongs, and possibly hair extensions to recreate that wavy effect.
  • Use mousse and hair gels to tame flyaways and add shine to your locks for the sleek Kylie Jenner hairstyles.
  • If you want to emulate Kylie’s pink pastel, blonde, and gray hair colors, you might need to bleach your hair to levels 7-9. That can be tricky to achieve, so get professional help.
