Man, although i'm not the biggest fan of Jessica's usually, her bob on the MTV Video Awards looked great...makes her, at least to me, look so much better since I love short hair...let's hope she keeps the extensions out and keeps it short!

One of her least impressive looks ever.

I agree with Kramer, not impressive at all. And I love bobs too, but personally I think she looks better with the long locks. Bring the extensions back on girl!

Do you really think she cut her hair? Or is that just part of her latest extensions and wig line she's selling?

Reminds me of kelly Ripa's latest cut.  Some of us liked IT and some didn't.

I don't think is a wig at all. It looks very natural to me. But who knows, maybe her wigs are just that good LOL.

That is the most boring, bland, and overall unattractive look I can remember in recent history at an awards show. And more directly, it looks bad on her especially.

The reference to "soccer" contiues to amuse me.  As if these guys would not kill each other to sniff the greass she walked on if someone 1/2 as hot as JS should up at the local soccer feild.
 
Better yet, I like to see them explain that soccer mom is a bad term that means boring and unattactive.

I think it looks good, although my preference is her longer hair...even if it is extensions.

Paging Mom....Soccer Mom
 
Now I don't have a problem with Hot Soccer Mom's.  I happened to be married to one (imho), but I'm very confused as to whoat kind of statement she was trying to make.  She has put herself in a position where expectations are very high with regards to how she looks, and she definately did not meet expectations with that look, in my opinion.
 
Although she is and remains a very pretty girl.

Wait a minute... what sort of expectation is she supposed to meet? She's an attractive woman, with an attractive cut... was she supposed to look like a bimbo? or a bookworm? How about herself? Like someone above said, would anyone really just pass her by looking as she does now? Can you honestly say that?

I could understand if you were saying that she doesn't meet the expectations of someone attending the Oscars... that's fine, because formal occassions demand certain style. But to say there are expectations for the MTV video awards, or even for what haircut she should wear is going a bit far I think. In that instance, it's more about her fitting the mold we've decided to form,  rather than just looking how she wants to look.

We are being critical of hair here, not her personally.  If this was a random picture of her getting into a car after dinner, that would be one thing, but this is the Video Music Awards, and she was performing I believe.  She has a new record out, so although I thought her hair looked cute last night, I would have expected something more elaborate, especially after she herself has set the bar so high with her many different looks.  Again, this is what I would have thought, and not a reflection on her or her work (although to be honest I couldn't tell the difference between her music, or Christina Aguilerra or Mariah Carey)

ssjockey..
JS has access to all the stylist and help she may or may not need to acheive any look she pleases.  Who's expectations are you refering to?  Yours?  I enjoy seeing her  ever changing styles.  Did she not get your message as to how to style her hair?  I hope she isn't too sad over not meeting your expectations.

although I usually like short hair I went to Getty images and looked at 9 pages of pictures of Jessica and perfer her hair long...  I wouldn't go soccer mom but this bob is just too plain.

Glad I could amuse you!
Although I have yet to run into anyone unfamiliar with the gist of the term, I'd be happy to explain, as you requested I would.It is not a derogatory remark, but an observation of a commonlly accepted descriptive idea. It is not "bad", or even "unattractive". It is what it is. "Boring? yeah, maybe.
The term generally implies a look that is low effort, and requires little in the way of styling. Sort of saying, "I'm so busy, I no longer have time to fuss with my hair." A bob that is fairly basic or understated, without virtue of sharp lines or dramatic styling pretty much is the picture perfect illustration.
Further to your comments, it could be argued that Jessica is indeed hot. My point was that I've seen her look many times better, imo, and don't feel this look suits her personality. She's not out selling a wholesome, "cute" sort of image. She attempts to be sexy. Look at her work. She's hardly attempting to be the girl next door. This look is exactlly that.
And, it's an awards show. I think something that looks like it might have had a bit of work thrown into it is called for.

maybe she didnt want fuss or muss that night and wanted to go w/o hair extentions.

The long hair looks so ugly and fake on her these days, I like the bob.  She had nice long hair when she started out though.

I liked her hair on Jay Leno, when she had it curled in a Marilyn Monroe kind of style.

Karen gives the blow by blow of Jessica's hair, fake or not and various changes on her Celebrity hair blog.

It is interesting how she is giving all kinds of insider scoops on celeb hair happenings complete with images.  A friend sent the blog address to me when he found it sort of randomly.

When I was with Jessica and Ken for the HairUWear HairDo shoot last April in LA her hair was about the same length as the "new bob" but it was shaggy and layered so that the front was below her chin.  Definitely not a classic bob.

In person she is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful - even w/out makeup - but I have to agree that she looks the best with shoulder length or longer hair that has some texture.  This is because she has a square jaw line that is strong and shorter hair really brings that out a lot and makes it look too angular in my humble opinion.

Once I asked Ken how he would categorize Jessica's face shape and he would not say any one shape.  Then I asked him about Ashlee...same thing...he would not say.  He declined to give me that info and I think the reason is because he changes both girls' hair so much that depending on the look their face shape changes.  With the right hair Jessica almost has an oval shape rather than square.

As I mentioned on my Hollywood & Mane Celeb Hair blog on DailyCeleb.com...he put her in a long wavy piece over the weekend but I have yet to get my hands on the pics.  Today he emailed me about some other hair projects with Jessica and he will be doing all sorts of new hair looks with different lengths & textures.
 
I personally saw all the HairDo pieces (there was an entire room filled to overflowing with samples) for the shoot and there are so many in so many different lengths and textures that I know Ken will be showcasing them on Jess over the next few weeks until the HairDo product hits the market for people to buy (early/mid October is the projected in the stores date).
 
By the way only 5 websites in the world will initially have the HairDo product and yes...we will have it here.  I am very excited because it is a gorgeous product and yes...Jessica really personally designed it with Ken and the HairUWear hair designers....she didn't just put her name on it.

Karen,
Any idea how long JS's hair was before Ken cut the bob?


Posted By: Karen Shelton
Date Posted: September 12 2006 at 9:28am
Hey Hal,
 
Good to see ya.
 
Ken told me that JS's hair was skimming the top of her shoulders before he bobbed it.  Now it is definitely above her chin.

Hi Karen, 2 things.

1st, it's very cool that you give us the inside skinny through your buddy Ken, much thanks!

2nd, what do you think Jessica will do with her hair next?  Shorter, Longer, keep it the same so she can do the "presto chango" thing with extensions?

Thanks

Hi SSJockey,
 
Good to see ya here as well. 
 
My opinion is that Jessica will let her "real" hair "grow out a bit" as we head into Fall & Winter and will probably go back to a shoulder skimming look.  Whether layered or all one length...it depends on what roles she takes next.  She is so busy with all types of shoots and will be doing lots of promos on her new CD and her HairDo line.
 
And yes...she has to keep a length and style that works well with all the HairDo pieces.  She owns a piece of the hair action so she is going to give her all to help promote it.  I know this for a fact.
 
Her days of really long hair (sorry Dave) seem to be over (IMO).  For one thing, she suffered a lot of damage to her hair from her various photo shoots and for another, she seems to prefer medium to shorter styles at this point because they are easier to deal with herself.  She does sometimes do her own hair w/out Ken.  And does a pretty good job.
 
I would be shocked if she went any shorter because I know that Ken thinks she looks best with her "real" hair in the bottom of the chin to top of the shoulders style.  A lot shorter might also cause problems when trying to "blend" with the HairDo extensions.  You do need some length to make it all work correctly.
 
As far as color.....she might play with different colored wigs but I think she will stay with various blonde shades for her "real hair".  She likes being blonde and looks great that way.
 
I hope you will stop by and visit my new column/blog on DailyCeleb.com - Hollywood & Mane.  I am getting daily tips now from other celeb hairdressers about various stars and just finished a very longgggggg interview with Bai Ling about her new chop which will initially be posted on Hollywood & Mane.  In fact Bai has been emailing me from China where she is currently starring in a big movie.
 
The former hairdresser on the OC is chatting with me later today and he is working on the new show with Joely Fisher & Brad Garrett.
 
Also...Robert Hallowell (I just talked to him about 5 minutes ago) has promised to give me lots of insider hair info on Courteney Cox's hair from her new show on FX.  He is her "exclusive" haidresser now.  He said her "real hair" is very long and luscious.  Very pretty he said.
 
I will also still be posting on HB.com but the Hollywood & Mane (which DailyCeleb asked me to write for them) is exclusively devoted to inside scoops on celeb hair.  :-)  And yes, I am having a blast writing it.  So much fun dishing about celeb hair (which got me in trouble with a famous TV star last summer - but that is another story).  :-) 
 
Have a great day.  Thanks for all your posts.

Karen, do you have a picture or a link to one with her hair at or above her chin.  I have seen pictures of what I though was her new, shortest cut but I haven't seen anything near her chin.

Thanks again for the inside info

Hi Hal,
 
I will dig and see what I have and will post if I do. 
 
Actually, I just received an email from a photographer of Jess wearing a gorgeous flower in her hair and her hair is like she wore it on Leno.
 
I will see if I can get that photo.  It was taken just a few hours ago.

Jessica on The View last week with latest Bob.  If you notice the front of the Bob ends right at her chin and the sides are layered so that they extend longer down into the back of the cut. 
 
Although Ken told me this was a classic bob....according to Vidal Sassoon a classic bob is all one length from roots to ends all around the head.  Ken also told me it was "a mod" type of look. 
 
Regardless...this is her real hair....love it or hate it.
 
 
 
 
Jessica Simpson with Flower & Recent Bob With add-on wavy HairDo piece.  I received this photo today.  Not sure when it was taken but am trying to get Ken to give me the details on the look.  I have not heard back from him yet but just emailed him in the last 30 minutes. 
 
Hal...if you notice...her hair extends just slightly below her chin.
 
 
Jessica on Jay Leno Show last week - morphing Marilyn Monroe!
Ken told me that he added wavy HairDo extensions pieces "just around the perimeter to give it lots of texture and waves and to extend the length a bit.  So this is her real hair with add-on HairDo wavy pieces.

Hi Karen,

Please, apologies are not required.   I don't know that JS's actual hair has been long in a long time.  I'm guessing she's used extensions for years (of course, you know better than I do).  Being a female celebrity (with the never-ending demands of fans for constant changes in their looks) must be hell on the condition of their hair.  It's no wonder very few celebrities have long hair (that grew from their own head) anymore.

That said, I have seen a few recent photos of CCA and agree with her hairdresser's "long and luscious" assessment.

 The hair color looked very one dimensional to me. I love bobs though,I'm not really in favor of extensions. They are too much maintance and cost too much (not that SHE has to worry about that)

The wig that Jessica is wearing...and it is just a wig...is part of her new line of add-on hair.
 
As a side note....all of the new HairDo from Jessica Simpson will be available at HB.com after the first part of October.  I have personally seen all of it, tried it and it is truly revolutionary for anyone that wants simple and easy "snap on" hair.  The 100% human is expensive but gorgeous.
 
I will post more "behind the scenes" photos when I get a chance of the hair and Jessica in it.

Can  you even tell it is clip-on hair?  It is amazing.  It is synthetic.

This is the 100% human hair version.  It comes in over 15 colors and each color has graduated contrasting hues to make it look very natural. 
 
Jessica actually has been wearing this a lot lately since Ken is using it on her all the time.
