Has Kim ruined her hair? Reality star’s blonde locks look frazzled after bleaching THREE times in three weeks
Kim Kardashian debuted her platinum blonde locks on March 5 just in time for Paris Fashon Week.
The 34-year-old reality star has raised concerns that over-bleaching is damaging her once lustrous dark tresses.
Even Kim admits that the blonde process takes a lot of work and upkeep, and the proof seems to be in the brittle, dull-looking platinum hair that she's been sporting in recent days.

Kim raised the red flag when she posted an Instagram of her getting her hair dyed platinum last week before a photoshoot on the rocks in Malibu, California.
'Being blonde is a full time job!' Mrs. Kanye West wrote in the caption.
Kim posted the first picture of her in the blonding chair on March 5, writing: 'So I went platinum! I have the best team.'
Then four days later, she was back in the chair for another bleach job, writing: 'It's hard out here for a platinum pimp! Thank you @FredericMennetrier for touching up my blonde!'
Listless: The 34-year-old's once lustrous dark locks have given way to what looks like an unmanageable bob
'Being blonde is a full time job': Kim conceded that being blonde and staying blonde takes a lot of work not to mention chemicals
Root of the problem: As a natural dark brunette, Kim's roots will start to show a couple days after the salon visit
After this third bleaching, Kim's hair looked thoroughly dry without body or shine.
During a family outing in Malibu with husband Kanye and their daughter North, 21 months, Kim wore her worn locks pulled back in a hasty ponytail.
Strands had fallen out and blew listlessly in the ocean breeze.
Celebrity hairdresser Andrew Jose, ambassador for Salon Science, had warned that if she's not careful, Kim could suffer some serious breakage due to her blonde preference.

Andrew, who has styled the tresses of Alanis Morissette, Jamie Campbell Bower and Louise Redknapp, said: 'This type of bleach blonde look goes beyond fashion and if done well can look high-end and powerful.
'Be warned though, this look is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Not only does maintaining the regrowth take a lot of commitment but the chemical process of bleach on the hair can be incredibly damaging.'
Andrew continued: 'Of all the colouring methods, bleach is the most damaging, and should always be done professionally and slowly.
Hair affair: The then-brunette fashionista luxuriated in another pre-blonde hair styling session
'Bleaching raises the cuticle on the hair, removing colour pigment permanently from the hair shaft, a process which is called oxidation.
'Bleaching can permanently raise the cuticle, leaving hair dry, brittle and porous. Overlapping bleach in the same place leaves hair feeling weak and elastic, which can then lead to hair breakage.'
He added: 'Overuse and repeated application of bleach to the scalp can strip the hair of moisture and damage the follicle.
'This may cause the hair to either fall out from the root or to break at the weakest point along the hair shaft.'
Shining through: Kim displayed the kind of shining, luxurious and healthy hair that many can only wish for; she was pictured on March 3, two days before going platinum
