    It’s been a banner week for Kim Kardashian, who made headlines (again and always) for life—i.e. welcoming her third kid into the world—and death, as in what will become of her hair after she kicks the bedazzled bucket. Yup.

    In the most-recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on Monday night, Kim had a semi-candid discussion about her mortality, telling her mom, Kris Jenner, that she added directions to her will detailing her post-death hair rules: “I put it in my will that I have to always have my hair done if I am like, cannot talk to myself or like, communicate,” she said.

    But she’s not just keeping the extra-ness to herself—no, Kim also promised to do the same for Kris, should she need it: “So I will make sure that your hair is always done if you don’t know your name. You’ll have great hair,” she added.

    And hey, considering how much time the world has spent obsessing over Kim’s every haircut, color, and style, we can’t really blame her for wanting a contingency plan for her assets—even if those assets include hair—for after she’s gone. We could definitely get behind a 90-year-old Kim with butt-length waves.
