Kourtney Kardashian revealed she cut her hair during her battle with COVID-19, posting an Instagram Story that showed pieces of her chopped dark hair on the floor and a new blunt bang. “Witchy season ✂️🖤,” she wrote, adding that the transformation came as she fights the virus. The post included a makeup-free mirror selfie that highlighted the new fringe.
Her husband, Travis Barker, reacted with a playful red-faced, sweating emoji, signaling approval of the look. Kardashian has long balanced public attention with a habit of experimenting with her hair, a pattern she has documented in past posts.
Kardashian has a history of dramatic hair transformations. After sporting long locks for years, she debuted a short bob in August 2021. In March 2023 she showed off platinum blond hair in a new look, though it wasn’t clear whether those changes were connected to COVID. In recent months she had been wearing longer, brunette strands. The reality star has previously spoken about hair changes in the context of health episodes and public appearances.
She previously said she became ill with COVID in June 2022 and shared recovery methods, including vitamins and staying hydrated. “I like to starve my fever like my grandma always taught me,” she wrote at the time. Kardashian later battled COVID again in September 2023 while pregnant with her and Travis Barker’s first child together, Rocky Thirteen, who was born later that year in November.
The haircut sits within a broader pattern of Kardashian’s personal style evolution, which she frequently documents on social media. Fans have followed along as she navigates family life, business ventures, and public appearances, with hair making occasional headlines as a tangible signal of mood or moment. The report summarized here comes from Page Six, which cited Kardashian’s posts and coverage of her health and hair changes.
