You’ll Never Guess What Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s Real Hair Color Is

You’ll Never Guess What Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s Real Hair Color Is

Since the first season of Real Housewives of Atlanta back in 2008, Kim Zolciak-Biermann has been known for her voluminous, blonde tresses. Her signature hairstyle was later revealed to be a wig (RHOA fans might recall the fight when Nene snatched it off her head), and Zolciak-Biermann has just dished her natural hair color with a rather cheeky post on Insta, and guys? It ain’t blonde.


“I naturally have black hair but now 95 percent gray. :( ” she wrote. Wait, WHAT!? We don’t’ know what’s more shocking — the fact that not only is the reality starlet, 39, not the blonde she’s come to be synonymous with, or the fact that she’s now nearly 100 percent gray to boot! Jaws, dropped.

The Instagram caption also shed light on some pretty crazy things about the mom of six, such as her favorite body parts — her teeth (the product of two stints in braces) and her feet — and a rather scary side effect of a car accident at 18 in which she was thrown through the window (Zolciak says glass remnants remained in her forehead for 10 years).

Kim, it’s like we hardly knew you! Check out pics from her pre-fame, jet black hair days here.
