Kim Kardashian West wants her baby hairs back.

Constantly in the spotlight, the contouring queen is known to use makeup, Photoshop and possibly a bit of surgery to maintain a flawless image.

While the reality star never confirmed plastic surgery rumors, she did admit to one procedure that she regrets -- cleaning up her hairline.

"I lasered my baby hairs off years ago, because my forehead had all these little baby hairs, and I would always break out because of them," West revealed in a blog post on kimkardashianwest.com

Her forehead is noticeably smoother but as the 35-year-old matures she wonders if a fuzzy hairline was the key to eternal youth.

"Every photographer would photoshop them out anyway, and I thought I looked better without the baby hairs, but now I miss them," West explained. "I think they look youthful! So ladies, you can always laser your hairline, but I miss mine.

Let this be a warning to think twice before making any permanent changes to your look. If Cara Delevigne's beautifully bold eyebrows have taught us anything, its that beauty trends are hair today and gone tomorrow.
