Jessica Simpson Hair Styles
Jessica Simpson hair styles.
They started out so well, in the days when she was content to let her hair styles flatter her face as any self-respecting, okay-looking woman would do.
In those days Jessica Simpson had a real face, and with informed hair styling she wasn't half bad to look at.
It's all gone pear-shaped since then ... not meaning any disrespect to a very attractive fruit. But when Jessica Simpson turned to the dark side and embraced plastic surgery, she forgot - if she ever understood - that hair styles and faces are supposed to work together.
The photos below capture part of the Jessica Simpson hair styles horror story.
Jessica Simpson Hair Styles That Worked
In the middle picture in the top row Jessica Simpson is a fresh-faced young entertainer with a hair style suited to her face - parted off-center, rounding out her forehead and cheeks, a subtle outward flick beginning at the eye and echoed down the lower half of the singer's face.
And the smile? It's relaxed, easy, natural.
She's really attractive.
To the right of this picture is another delightful image of Jessica Simpson, an almost-candid, and once again the smile seems real, the laughter genuine. Her hair is longer but the style is nearly the same in its essential elements, and those elements help the aesthetics of her face.
Back two photos. The second picture in the top row. Her hair is parted on the right this time, but still creates the curves of an oval shaped face. It smoothes out the profile of her forehead and cheeks and even curves her jaw line as it sweeps beneath her chin.
The dark emphasis round the eyes is an ominous sign of things to come, and the smile is becoming plastic.
But details aside, these three Jessica Simpson hair styles do what they're designed to do - they help Jessica Simpson look pretty.
Transitional Jessica Simpson Hair Styles
In the development of Jessica Simpson hair styles, which is to say their downward spiral from attractive to hideous, a new stage is represented in five more photos.
It's a transitional phase because, although she'd embarked on her journey of facial mutilation, she hadn't yet been deserted by stylists and image-makers who knew what they were doing.
The hair in the bottom row's middle picture at least preserves the elements that Jessica Simpson hair styles must include if they are to do anything for her image. On her right, her long hair sweeps around the forehead and cheek, while on her left the windblown, highlighted, sunlit tresses draw attention out and away from the long straight edge of her face.
The apparent curve of her jaw is captured in light against shadow.
Very similar is the picture at the end of the top row. The hair style is arranged well, except where it exposes a high corner of her forehead and echoes, in turn, the line of her jaw.
Her face, inside the perimeter of hair, is hard, staring, unnatural, and very disconcerting.
The fourth picture in the second row, by comparison, is almost pretty. Jessica Simpson's hair style here is perfect for a long, rectangular face like hers, allowing only the barest glimpse of chin where it appears to curve. It blurs the outline of her face entirely, sweeping in as far as the eyes.
Those ... eyes ...
This is a young hair style, but the expression carved into her eyes and brows would have most people giving Jessica Simpson a very wide berth.
Then there's the middle picture in the middle row.
The first thing you notice is that the hair style doesn't bother with one of its essential Jessica Simpson face-moulding tasks - it doesn't conceal, confuse or try to distract attention from the shape of her cheeks.
Which doesn't matter, because the cheeks don't belong to Jessica Simpson.
Not content with physical surgery (or perhaps horrified by what it's done to her), she and her minders have resorted to Photoshop surgery.
Pictures like this could almost shake a person's belief in celebrity images.
The last photo in the bottom row is not too bad, as Jessica Simpson hair styles go. But then Photoshop has come to the rescue again, sketching in a convenient curve from ear to forehead.
At the start of the middle row is a Jessica Simpson hair style that works, if only on one angle. Her hair curves pleasantly round her forehead, and this shape is echoed lower down by her cheek and chin.
But this Jessica Simpson hair style is purely for a most carefully staged publicity still. The illusion would vanish the moment she turned to face you.
Why?
Because Jessica Simpson's cheek is straight, not curved, and her jaw is sharp. With a hair style like this, pulled back so it can't disguise such lines, the box shape of Jessica Simpson's face would return to prominence.
A similar viewpoint is used in the gallery's first picture, where Jessica Simpson wears plaits and a blue bandana. This hair style almost passes muster thanks to that well chosen camera angle. It puts her in three-quarter profile, and the bandana itself enforces a sweeping curve round the hairline.
But the cutesy, girlish look Jessica Simpson affects with her hair style, clothing and coyly tilted head, is at odds with the heavily made up eyes and the smiling-but-not-really-smiling mouth.
It's the beginning of Jessica Simpson's bizarre experiments incorporating plastic surgery, ill-advised hair styles and unnerving facial expressions.
Jessica Simpson Hair Styles That Don't Help
The remaining Jessica Simpson hair styles are failures.
Almost without exception they emphasize what should be hidden, and given what Jessica Simpson has done to her face, that means everything.
To see what she's given up, look again at the middle picture in the top row with its genuinely happy face, the eyes that were capable of real expression, and the hair style that easily made the most of her looks.
Then look at the immovable, ugly, plastic mask she's become in the second picture of the middle row.
That mask is why Jessica Simpson hair styles should cover her face completely.
Especially the eyes.
Never let the eyes out.
But what does Jessica Simpson do, now that she's turned her features into a plastic surgeon's playground?
Look at the second picture in the bottom row.
She pulls her hair back out of her face, exposing a rectangle now dominated by those ugly, unnatural, witch-doctored eyes and permanently pouting mouth.
The rectangle is there again in the ugly mask photo above. The hair style's curve across her forehead might hide a sharp corner, but Jessica Simpson attaches a long, dark earring on the other side just to make sure the vertical dominates.
The hair style in the first picture of the bottom row is calculated to highlight every harsh angle in Jessica Simpson's face, while building it up high to make it look even longer.
In the bottom row's fourth image, the curves of a well-designed hair style are no longer enough to help Jessica Simpson. Her face is a canvas for the relentlessly horizontal line of her staring eyes.
For the ultimate commentary on Jessica Simpson hair styles, have a look at the last picture in the middle row of the gallery.
This photo says it all.
Two words ... No idea.
Here, Jessica Simpson looks like a deranged troll leering from a mountain crevice.
Disregarding the catwalks of the so-called haute-couture, so-called fashion world where misogynous designers gleefully make their models look as ugly as their own souls, that mountain built upon Jessica Simpson's head is perhaps the most bizarre arrangement of blonde hair ever intentionally worn in public.
But then again, no. Jessica Simpson has perpetrated other blonde monstrosities upon the unsuspecting paparazzi.
At Curly Hair Styles Magazine you can find Jessica Simpson hair styles every bit as bizarre as this one, at Jessica Simpson with Curly Hair and Jessica Simpson Short Hair.
If Jessica Simpson had kept her own face, relying on well-chosen hair styles that complemented her natural features, she'd still be an attractive woman today.
But she blew that chance the moment she went under the knife.
One would hope that young women, when they contemplate beauty, will see Jessica Simpson as an object lesson and not as a role model.
A woman with so little respect for herself is no sort of example to follow.
