Jessica Simpson is famous for their luscious blonde
locks. In fact, Jessica's many hair hues, lengths
and styles have been the constant subject of the
entertainment, beauty and fashion media.
Jessica, whom I personally know
to be a very sweet and incredibly talented lady, is
always a good sport about sharing her latest hair
secrets with the press. She completely understands that
her responsibility as a star in the public eye is to
graciously share her strand strategies with enquiring
minds.
Recently a well-known celebrity
watcher's website publicly chided Jessica's long time celebrity hairdresser Ken Paves,
for the fact that his famous client, Jessica, had very
obvious dark roots. (See image to the side).
Ken
Paves - Jessica's Mane Man
I had the privilege four years ago of watching Ken,
who is definitely a hair wizard, work with Jessica's
hair over a three day period. Words can not begin to
describe the talent for creating breathtaking hair
styles that literally oozes out of Ken's styling hands.
Watching him transform Jessica into a dizzying array
of spectacular hairstyles during our days together,
literally boggled my mind. In fact, I don't think
I will ever forget the talent he displayed nor how
incredibly beautiful Jessica's hair looks in person.
She is truly a goddess and he is completely dedicated to
always making her tresses look nothing short of
perfection.
I knew in my gut that the buzz about Jessica's dark
roots had to based on misinformation. I decided to
track down Ken and find out the real scoop on the
beauty's current look.
After stalking him by phone, I caught up with Ken and
asked him about the rootage hoopla.
Ken laughed about the dark root
mention as we recently chatted while he took a quick
break from working on Eva Longoria's hair.
These Roots Are Made For Showing
"Jessica has dark roots on
purpose", the famous celebrity hairdresser pointed out.
Ken explained that "during the initial hair design phase
for Jessica's new movie", Employee of the Month,
Ken and Jessica "discussed at length how Jessica's
character might wear her hair".
Since Jessica's
character works "in a Costco-like store" and "is a real
woman who has a busy life" Jessica and Ken decided to go
with a more "realistic and less glamorous look for the
character's hair." Ken and Jessica wanted to honor how
her character might really deal with her own hair.
In preparation for her role "Jess and I decided to just
let her darker roots grow in" he explained. "Once
the roots appeared, I added hair extensions for the
movie". After the roots had grown a bit, Ken and
Jess decided that "they really liked the look" (with the
darker root area) and agreed that "with the added
extension length", Jessica's hair "was exactly what they
were going for".
The people (producers, director)
with the movie also "really liked the contrasting dark
root look with the added length". As a result,
Jessica has made it a point to avoid having her hair
colored since well before the movie started filming.
Resulting in the
noticeable and intentional dark roots that Jessica has
recently been photographed wearing. Note the
word "intentional". Which makes the attack on
Ken's talent as a celebrity hairdresser completely unwarranted, unfair and not
based on fact. The man is a true hair genius and one of
the very best in Hollywood.
Ken also reported that
"Jessica's on-set hairdresser, Jessie Holiday", recently
slightly "touched up Jessica's roots, but left them
darker for continuity".
Summary
Jessica Simpson not only has dark hair roots on
purpose, she loves the way that they look for her
current starring movie role in
Employee of the Month. Who knew that a major star
like Jessica would intentionally opt to appear with dark
roots? The savvy performer understands and
respects the importance of honoring the appropriate look
that her character would have in her latest movie role. |
