Get ready to take notes, friends.
Recently, I had the chance to chat with the lovely Jessica Biel and discovered we actually share a lot in common. Both of us are fighting off pesky summer colds, catering to our kids’ demand for buttered noodles at breakfast, and let’s not forget, we both know a few hair tricks.
While many recognize Jessica as an incredible actress, she’s also a busy mom of two and the co-founder of KinderFarms. It’s a health and wellness brand that focuses on clean alternatives to typical over-the-counter meds and hydration solutions for kids. So how’s she handling that stubborn summer cold? She mentions, “I’m downing the electrolyte drinks and taking a double dose of the Kids’ Nighttime Cold & Cough.” When we got to talking about parenting complaints and how we’re feeling under the weather, I couldn’t help but ask her about her recent haircut—the trendy bob she showed off as Chloe in The Better Sister.
Thoughts on Her Big Haircut
“That was the shortest my hair has ever been; it felt amazing,” Jessica shares about her blunt bob. “I loved it; it was so much fun and liberating. Honestly, it was a fabulous change.” As someone with long hair myself, I had to wonder: Were you at all nervous about making such a drastic change? “I was a little anxious, but totally ready, you know? I had been rocking really long hair for a while. We chopped off 12 inches,” she explained and even shared some behind-the-scenes moments of the process on Instagram. The edgy look was crafted by celebrity stylist Anh Co Tran.
How She Keeps Her Bob Stylish
As bobs have become super trendy, Jessica believes it’s all about how you style them that brings out their cool vibe. “I really like my hair stick straight, especially with shorter styles,” she mentions. “I adore my flat iron; the trick is taking your time and sectioning off your hair. Start from the bottom—with the underlayers—and smooth out each section. Once they’re straightened, the rest falls nicely into place.” Another go-to style for her? “I love a middle part. That’s definitely my favorite way to wear it.”
Future Hair Trends She’s Considering
Jessica’s bob is already showing signs of growth, but it also led to a bigger question: What’s next for her hair? Is she open to sporting a silver hue? “Could I see myself just letting my gray hair show and embracing a silver bob? I hope so,” she remarks. “But I’m not quite there yet.” Her approach to aging is refreshing too: “I’m just working on accepting myself every day, in every moment. There’s so much more to me than just the way I look. I think it’s essential to cultivate your inner self and stay curious about your world; it’s important to know that you are more than just your outer appearance.”
Who Takes Longer on Hair: Jessica or Justin?
Lastly, I had to settle the debate: between her and Justin Timberlake, who spends more time on their hair? “Oh, definitely me,” she chuckles. “His hair is amazing; it defies gravity. He steps out of the shower, and I always wonder, ‘How does yours look like that?’ He might not notice, but I totally love it.”
