"I swear I love changing my hair up," she tells Us Weekly. "It makes me feel like a new me!"

"It's like the season was ending so I wanted a fresh start now," she explains. "I'm loving it."

Kardashian — who filed for divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage — has sported bang extensions and blonde highlights in the past.
