An apple (ton) a day will keep the frizz at bay! Celebrity hair stylist Chris Appleton – with whom has worked Kim Kardashian years – appeared on the Thursday, June 29 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashiansready and willing to perk up the founder of Skims for her driver’s license photo.

“Today we’re with Kim, and we’re taking a picture of her driver’s license,” Appleton, 40, explained on the show while in the California DMV with the reality star, 42. “It’s a big deal because you have to deal with it live for a long time… Too many people live with driver’s licenses that aren’t cute.
