Kendall Jenneris keeping up with hair trends.

It seems the changing of the seasons left the model and 818 Tequila itching for a change — and she decided to fully take the plunge with a major switch-up.

Jenner debuted the look viaInstagramon Wednesday, Sept. 11. The photos show her rocking the bleached ‘do with a headband in one photo and in an updo with anEmi Jay tortoiseshell claw cliplike it’s the ‘90s again in another.

She also teamed her hair with a leather blazer and jeans, which really let the brightness of the new color shine.

Perry added that it took her two days to fully take Jenner’s signature brunette color to a lighter shade, though the darker roots peeking through give the whole look a natural feel.

This isn’t the first time Jenner has gone to the light side, having been blonde multiple times in the past.

In 2019, she made a daring decision togo platinum for the Burberry fashion show, unveiling her new look on the runway. And it looks like her big blonde comeback has been something her family and friends have been waiting for for a long time.

“You did it!!!” her sister — andcertified member of the blonde celebs club—Kim Kardashianwrote under her Instagram post. At the same time, her best friend,Hailey Bieber, commented: “exactly.”
