If you haven’t been keeping up with Kylie, the reality star celebrated turning 18 with a huge party this past Sunday. In true Kardashian-Jenner fashion, she ;made quite the entrance by showing up with a blonde weave.
Now, ;in case anyone isn’t aware — it’s called a “weave” ;because the hair extensions are sewn or woven on top of one’s own hair, which is often braided into cornrows so that the extensions will have a base to be sewn onto. So, there’s a logical reason why Jenner was wearing cornrows again — it’s not quite as logical as to why she’d be cool with her pal Pia Mia Perez sharing a photo of her with the hairstyle on Instagram (though it’s telling that the photo has since been deleted from ;Perez’s account). ;
Meanwhile, Jenner also took to ;Snapchat while she was wearing cornrows, sharing a video of her and Perez taking a nap. It seemed like a clear message she didn’t care about the previous, or impending, criticism. ;
