Ken Paves Explains Jessica’s New Dark Hues

If you’ve been wondering what prompted blonde bombshell Jessica Simpson to go dark, you’re not alone.
Jessica’s hair stylist and close friend, Ken Paves, gave PEOPLE the scoop behind her bold new look. After a day spent lounging by the pool together, the two came inside and started playing with extensions from their HairDo line.
Jessica asked Ken, “‘What do you have in there that’s red?” Ken clipped a piece into her hair and Jessica said, “I want to leave this on! I want to wear it out.” She did just that, to great effect (the front part of her hair was sprayed with temporary color to match the extensions).
Jessica loved the change so much that the next morning, she asked Ken to make it permanent, saying she “felt more like herself.”
As for the rumors that Jessica went dark for new boyfriend John Mayer’s benefit, Ken scoffs at the idea. “It just happened. She had no intention of coloring her hair. This was done on a whim — two friends horsing around and playing dress up. A woman doesn’t have to be doing it for somebody. Sometimes it just happens.”
