Jaime Lynn Pressly, a former
successful model, is a fabulous actress who nails Earl's
ultra trashy, ex-wife Joy, on NBC's My Name Is Earl. This
gorgeous Leo (born July 30, 1977) was born and raised in
Kinston, North Carolina where she trained as a gymnast
and dancer.
Her mother was a classical dance instructor who worked
closely with Jaime. Besides her dedicated work with dancing,
the beautiful blonde actress continued to practice her
gymnastics for over 11 years.
From Dancer To Model To Actress
All of her hard work and practice paid off at the
tender age of 13 when she was
discovered as a model. Her
modeling successes took her to gigs in Italy and Japan.
She also appeared on the cover of Teen Magazine which
was quite an accomplishment for the young beauty.
At the age of 15 she legally broke with her family
and pushed her budding career towards movies. Her debut
role was as the deadly manipulative white trash girl in
1997's Poison Ivy: New Seduction.
Luckily for Jaime, her work as Drew Barrymore's body
double in the original Poison Ivy won her the part in
the sequel.

After her success portraying the Poison Ivy prostitute, Jaime
went on to appear in Against The Law, The Journey:
Absolution and Can't Hardly Wait. She also
appeared in Ringmaster, Trash and Coyote Moon.
In 1999 the traditional Southern Girl broke through
in television as exotic dancer Audrey in the series Jack & Jill.
During her early days portraying Audrey until the very end of
2001 Jaime kept her shoulder length straight strands a
shimmering shade of sexy white blonde.
At the end of 2001 Jaime made a dramatic hair change
and adopted a super short
sassy bobbed style that looked spectacular with her
square shaped face and big beautiful eyes. She
maintained her Audrey white blonde hue that highlighted her golden
brown skin tones.
Jaime's sultry short blonde strands became her new
signature look into 2003 where she alternately jazzed up
her array of choppy bobs and crops with loosely styled
shapes, pretty layering and an array of bang styles.
A Walk On The Chocolate Cherry Side

In October of 2004 Jaime did a
surprising change and went from her beautiful blonde
tresses to a rich chocolate brown. She strolled
the red carpet at the 2nd Semi Annual Fashion "Next"
Show, Skybar in West Hollywood with stick straight
strands that were a mixture of chocolate and cherry.
She also had longer below-the-shoulder tresses and
fashionable side-swept strands that minimized her
forehead and made her stunning eyes pop. She
transcended from atomic blonde glamour girl to sultry
brunette vixen.
Two months later in December of
2004, Jaime appeared at the Divine Design 2004
Benefiting Project Angel Food with her hair more
chocolate than cherry but with slightly grown out bangs
that were sweeping her forehead just below her eyebrows. Although
still beautiful, the look was not as striking as her
original Skybar style.

As Jaime channelled an array of
different hues, she depended on Celebrity hair colorist
Rita Hazan (Jennifer Lopez,
Jessica & Ashlee Simpson) to help her achieve gorgeous
colors. Rita, who confirmed that Jaime is "a long
time hair client as well as a very dear friend" noted
that Jaime is "a dream to work with".
I asked Rita how she managed to create super shiny
hues for Jaime. The famous hair colorist to the
stars explained that she always makes sure that Jaime's
hair is conditioned while it is being colored.
Rita swears by
Phyto's
Huile D'Ales - Intense Hydrating Oil Treatment which
she blends into the color during application to the
strands. Rita also explained that she uses the Huile D'Ales
oil on all of her celebs when she
colors her hair and encourages them to use it at home
between color treatments. Not only does the
inclusion of the
Huile D'Ales - Intense Hydrating Oil Treatment
explain Jaime's rich glossy brunette and blonde hues
that shimmer, it explains why her hair is in such great
shape and very healthy.

Jaime, who visits Rita at her famous New York
Rita Hazan
Salon, (212-735-4757) also works closely with
celebrity hairdresser Joaquin
Hortal who confided that "the cameras do not
do her true beauty justice". The very charming
Joaquin, who "has worked with Rita for the past two
years, coiffed Jaime for the recent 2006 award shows
including The People's Choice Awards". Joaquin
loves "to create hair styles for Jaime that show off her
spectacular beauty but give her a European sex appeal".
One drawback that both Rita and Joaquin experience
with Jaime is that "she is required to maintain certain
hair color, length and style parameters that mesh with
her current on-screen role in NBC's hit series - Everyone Loves Earl".
Trailer Trash Brassy Blonde

In late Summer of 2005 Jaime was
required to adopt a specific yellow blonde hue in preparation for her hilarious
new role as Joy, Earl's ex on Everyone Loves Earl.
When Jaime signed on as Joy the
producers made it clear that her normally sleek,
sophisticated and seductive tresses would be transformed
into a wide range of hairstyles that screamed pure white
trash.
Joy's over-the-top hairstyles
included brassy blonde strands that were teased into
atrocious dos that helped to define her character's
trailer resident style.
Even more importantly, Earl's
producers wanted Jaime to display dark root against a
backdrop of brassy bleached yellow blond strands.
Walking
A Fine Hair Style Line
Both Rita and Joaquin explained
that "their ability to color and coif Jaime, the private
person, is constrained by the current hair personality
of Earl's Joy. Luckily they do have options to bring out
the gorgeous star's beauty within limits that they push
as far as they are allowed.
Summary
On thing is certain. Jaime
Pressly's star is on the rise. The gorgeous
actress has finally become a beloved household name with
her brilliant portrayal of the hilarious Joy on Everyone
Loves Earl. If that means sacrificing a blonde hue
or wearing big hair, so be it. |
