Kris Jenner’s Curly Side Part Bob Is Her Most Youthful Haircut Yet

She looks unrecognizable.

Kris Jenner is rewriting her own rulebook. For years, her sharp, jet-black pixie was as much her signature as oversized sunglasses and a tailored blazer. It was polished, practical, and became a defining part of her momager persona.

But lately, Kris has been stepping outside her comfort zone. Between her recent face lift and a surprising new haircut—a curly side-parted bob—she’s experimenting more than ever and showing that reinvention has no age limit. "Kris’s curly bob makes her look youthful because it’s longer than her usual pixie," says Raven Hurtado, stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. "The curls give her movement and volume with a softness that feels very feminine."

This shift feels especially flattering because it plays up her features in the best way. "The side part breaks up symmetry in a way that feels playful and fresh," explains Jeremy Pugh, professional hairstylist and content creator. He also points out that the side part helps elongate her face while the curls take the edge off her strong jawline. It’s the perfect mix of structure and softness—and for someone who stuck with the same haircut for years, the switch feels daring but still totally flattering.

The bob has always been timeless, but Kris’s version proves how easily it can be reinvented. Read on for how to make her curly side-part bob your own—whether you want to try it at the salon or style it at home.

How to Get the Look

At the salon, ask for a bob that hits between the chin and collarbone with soft, layered ends to give the hair texture and movement. And make sure your stylist knows you want a side part and loose curls that sweep away from the face. "The goal is airy waves with body, not tight ringlets," says Pugh, and it’s that effortless bounce that keeps the look modern and playful.

For at-home styling, start with a heat protectant (duh) that also helps hold the style. Blow dry using a round brush to lift the roots, then curl sections away from your face with a one-inch iron to get those perfect-sized ringlets. Hurtado recommends adding a touch of RPZL Volumizing Powder at the roots for extra lift—and for a little finishing flourish, pop in a few rollers at the crown and mist with a flexible hairspray to hold the curls while keeping them soft and touchable.

What makes Kris’s bob so appealing is how it balances classic sophistication with playful freshness. "A bob has always been a staple," says Pugh, "but Kris proves you can make it feel brand-new just by shifting the part and adding volume." After years of sticking to one signature style, this curly side-part bob shows that experimenting can be just as chic as sticking with a classic—and a whole lot more fun.
