We have said this several times before---- NOT every, dark-haired woman can be blonde and have it look right.
It's a
very tricky maneuver, because it's ALL about your
skin tone. And even the BEST of
stylists can get it
wrong. Somehow the
blonde shade here just looks
off.
Forgive us for selecting
famous woman in her own
right Jessica Seinfeld, the
wonderful wife of
super famous Jerry Seinfeld.
42-year-old Jessica has
good, healthy hair to begin with.
Hair professionals would agree that's a
major plus when deciding to do ANY
serious, hair transformation.
Hair grows back. Period. And
Jessica isn't
too attached to her
locks, anyway.
“Everyone is asking me why — and basically, ‘Why not?’” said
Jessica to
People mag. back in
May. "I have no attachments to anything physically,” she continued. “My husband always says, ‘I wish you were more materialistic.’ I just have no attachments (to things) so I don’t care. If I hate my hair, it will grow."
And
Jessica had
excellent professionals leading the way with
Sarah Spratt, her colorist who continued the major transformation with New York City stylist Rheanne White to make Jessica's cut — with its rock-and-roll vibe — match the color.
But as
cute as
Jessica is, we don't think this
blonde shade is
complimentary to her
skin tone. As
L.A. celebrity stylist + master colorist Kim Vo has always emphasized to us, your
complexion is key:
Kim Vo: Skin tone is the most important factor in deciding your perfect color. It takes a professional eye to determine, but for a simple read, use the veins on your wrist. If your veins are blue, warm tones like chestnut and auburn tones are for you. If your veins are more green, caramel and golden hues will compliment you. If your veins are blue/green, then warm and cool tones can be added seamlessly.
For any of us who fool around with
hair color, a
darn good conditioner is
essential.
