Jessica Simpson, Hair Chameleon

Jessica Simpson's straight, swingy style

So many celebrities experiment with their hair, but I think my favorite “hair chameleon” is Jessica Simpson. She never does anything terribly drastic - I guess that’s sister Ashlee’s territory! - but she does take her share of risks, and sometimes it really pays off. I suppose her most iconic “Jessica” look is long and wavy - very sexpot. But my favorite is this short, swingy, shoulder-length style from a few years ago. It’s such an easy look to recreate too! I just use my CHI flat iron to smooth out my hair in sections after I’ve dried it, make a messy, slightly off-center part, and I’m done! Pink streaks optional, of course…although I can’t say that I don’t kind of dig it! It’s a little edgy for Jess, and that’s why it works.

Make sure you don’t just buy the first one you find though. If you buy a cheap iron, you could seriously damage your hair, simply by using it regularly. Styling tools with metal plates are the absolute worst - they can really cook your hair, and even if you don’t end up frying anything, your hair is going to get super dry unless you take regular breaks from using it. That’s why I love my CHI! The ceramic plates seal the hair cuticles and make everything shiny and smooth. Anyone who is currently coveting this hairdo should go out and buy a flat iron right this second! Without my CHI flat iron, I would be totally lost! My hair would be a frizzy mess. I wonder if Jessica ever feels that way?
