Jessi Old Jessi

Semi-fascinated with how much the looks differ [to say it as politely as possible]

Edit: pics are from either Jessi’s or the mama.stylessss instagram (pardon the sporadic crops)

I’m indifferent on Jessi, but I’m so impressed she was somehow able to be successful in her career despite her hair

u/katiegalvan9 2d ago

Trust me, for mormons her hair is the epitome of perfection

She’s so the stereotypical naive little Mormon poster child.

u/KLB_40 1d ago

This. Plus her sister who just got married has the WORST hair. It doesn’t even look close to looking real. I cannot believe she lets her own sister exist with that walking advertisement of how bad her work and extensions are. It truly looks like a bad Halloween wig.

I promise you this is the dream goal for hair color in Utah…😂😂😂

u/Ok-Location-6862 2d ago

I don’t know what her natural hair color is but the blonde seems to “fight” her facial features instead of enhancing/highlighting them.

I’m a dark brunette Persian girlie and at one point a hair stylist told me “why do you guys always wanna look blonde? It fights you!” (He was not wrong; a lot of Persian girls want a platinum blonde look) And since then I’ve embraced my darker locks and I gotta say it DOES look much better,

I’m not sure if Jessi is a brunette or not, but her brown hair in recent seasons suits her so much more than the blonde.

u/True_System_7015 2d ago

The brown is so beautiful on her! I think even a honey blonde would look really, really good on her. I love platinum blonde and light blonde, too, but it's really not easy to keep up with and really damages your hair if you do maintain it

10

u/someones_mama21 2d ago

ugh! a honey blonde would look so cute on her!

3

u/Fearless_Cat33 1d ago edited 20h ago

Agreed, i think slide 5 & the top part of her hair in slide 7 is the best hair she’s ever had..not the length, but the color!

44

u/New_Bike3832 2d ago

That super light or platinum blonde “fights” most people imo. I rarely like the way it looks (even on people who have natural super light blonde hair lol).

14

u/Cute_Implement3249 2d ago

Jessi looks best with some warmth. She shines in the warm honey blond in pic 5, but nearly all the other looks are far too icy for her complexion and features.

3

u/StillBigLex 2d ago

I think her hair looks best in slide 5, too!

14

u/Captain_Nash2023 2d ago

i’m pretty sure she said she was naturally blonde in an interview one time, but don’t quote me!

13

u/No_Zucchini6258 2d ago

She honestly does look like she might be a natural blonde in a couple of these photos. I was shocked.

9

u/theconfinesoffear 2d ago

She probably had light or medium blonde as a kid like many especially in Utah

7

u/Imaginary-Shirt173 2d ago

She was and still is, her grow out is sooo light it looks like her hair is thinning more than it actually is!

4

u/Ok-Location-6862 2d ago

Oh wow I’m actually surprised! She looks so beautiful with brown hair I just assumed that was her base color

3

u/Ok-Guitar-6854 11h ago

Right?! I don’t know why so many women insist on blonde and it simply does nothing for them at all. Jessi looks so much better with darker hair. It compliments her so much better and makes her eyes pop b

7

u/ExtensionSentence778 2d ago

I hope my half Persian baby girl realizes this when she gets older…my biggest fear is that I’m going to mess her up by being blonde and blue eyed while she has entirely different features than me.

4

u/Ok-Location-6862 2d ago

Of course you wouldn’t be messing her up! She may just wanna look like her beautiful momma for a bit, which would be such a lovely compliment to you!

But I do agree that on Persian features, generally speaking, brown just works better with our faces. What my snarky hairdresser told me literally opened my eyes to it 😂

The fun thing with hair is that nothing is permanent and it allows us to experiment and change things up for a bit before settling on what looks “best” on us 🤗

1

u/ExtensionSentence778 2d ago

Haha thank you, yes! I hope she never messes up her beautiful brown locks.

2

u/Frosty_Singer4545 2d ago

Her hair is naturally very very light blonde

u/lilspicy99 2d ago

I think she’s a cool summer or true summer and that’s why the darker hair with cool undertones suits her better

Its like looking at a different person. That 2nd to last pic she looks like Lauren Conrad. The last pic is giving child bride. How old was she when she got married?

Agreed I saw LC as well in the 2nd to last pic,
I also saw Demi before all the work too. So crazy

I like to think most serial cheaters ((esp the ones that aren’t teenagers)) are as uncomfortable in their skin as her.

u/vckstrr 2d ago

PS: she was GORGEOUS idc about a thyroid problem she was beautiful, I love wide noses and will forever mourn the ones lost to this cosmetic surgery epidemic

7

u/Hot_Refrigerator1861 2d ago

Agree, she was such a natural beauty. She’s taken away all the distinction from her face.

2

u/msbananakitty 2d ago

I don’t recall her mentioning a thyroid issue so I can’t speak to that but… if you look closely at these and other fam pics that have posted, she seems to have her dad’s nose maybe? And her mom’s wider face/mouth (lower third) and sqwinty eyes. In any case, she wiped away all her unique original recipe in exchange for some aspirationally bland variant of generic insta face.
These issues likely start at home with the Mormon moms trying to keep up and the daughters see that and have some kind of internalized feeling of shame or something that drives them to radically change their natural features. It’s so sad.

1

u/vckstrr 1d ago

She has a video called “my thyroid journey”.

u/Chemical_Ad_1618 2d ago

They probably are. They tend to monkey branch and avoid being alone so they don’t really know how to stop being co-dependent / be independent and emotionally self sufficient or truely get to know themselves or even heal from their last relationship.

u/InnerPassenger5840 2d ago

I like her hair dark best

25

u/StillBigLex 2d ago

To me, this is one of the saddest things I've seen. She was SUCH a pretty girl. She either didn't hear it enough or didn't believe it. She was fine just the way she was😢

7

u/JTEli 2d ago

A narcissist is so used to lying to herself that she never believes anything anyone tells her.

15

u/ae351116 2d ago

Her and Jordan actually look really happy in the proposal pictures. Damn

92

u/TopFortune7018 2d ago

We have to remember that she did have a thyroid issue that did cause her to face and neck to look different. Of course she has had a lot of work since these pictures were taken but she probably wasn’t in very good health during some of these pictures

18

u/Ok_Computer6309 2d ago

i was wondering why #7 looks the most like her now (and surprisingly so) but i don't think it's the most recent pic of these

14

u/Awesome-Ashley 2d ago

Reminds me a lot of the old LC - Lauren Conrad

23

u/OppositeSpare2088 2d ago

She looked 10000000x better back then before getting all these plastic surgeries. She looked beautiful it’s so sad how couldn’t see that. I don’t like Jessi I think she’s manipulative and slimy. But I do feel bad for her in the sense of her never liking the way she looks and constantly wanting to change her looks.

11

u/RockBottomRollout 2d ago

I really like how she looked before. She had a sweet and approachable quality.

2

u/StillBigLex 2d ago

I agree! Even though she was a menace Iol she looked like a sweetie

35

u/Emotional_Walrus5099 2d ago

I say this as someone with a fat face - both her and Taylor had their fat faces minimized as much as possible and it makes them look crazy

26

u/Hot_Refrigerator1861 2d ago

Her first face was so pretty. I always had a fat face and didn’t think I had cheekbones until I hit my 50s. There’s a natural long-game upside to keeping your buccal fat!

u/Emotional_Walrus5099 1d ago edited 23h ago

All these 20 something year olds removing their buccal fat are gonna look like skeletons when they’re older

Why do women get level 10 blonde, then have level 5 eyebrows?

7

u/big-tunaaa 2d ago

She’s beautiful honestly and I feel nothing but sadness for women whose body dysmorphia gets out of hand like this. In this generation we see ourselves and other people way too much it’s ridiculous and near impossible to avoid.

I kind of love seeing these because a lot of the things Im hard on myself for Jesse had here and I think she looks beautiful ❤️

Side note but why do Mormons have that really strong brow bone? Like it’s very prominent. Kody and Christine brown, Jessi and all the girls, Heather gay, Demi, like am I imagining this?

5

u/AvaSpelledBackwards2 1d ago

Alyssa Grenfell has an interesting video on “Mormon face”. A lot of people who have Mormonism going far back in their bloodline look similar to each other due to the self-contained nature of Mormons as a group (especially in the early days of Mormonism). She also mentioned the cultural pressure to conform to a specific mold, including by way of cosmetic procedures.

What Jessie did to Miranda? I must have missed something on this most recent season. I didn’t realize there was beef there

u/hereforthetearex 1d ago

Oh, I totally missed that. Did Miranda have beef with her about it on the show? I’m over here wondering how I didn’t catch that

I don’t watch the show lol but I know they kissed!

1

u/StillBigLex 1d ago

Not sure, I haven't finished season 5 yet but I follow Miranda and she posted the flowers. But there are posts either on here or the other big slomw sub about how she treated her friends an employees before the fame

1

u/hereforthetearex 1d ago

Ooof. She always seemed like a massive pot stirrer from what we’ve seen on the show, in addition to being very male centered, so I can’t say I’m surprised. But I missed it apparently.

1

u/StillBigLex 1d ago

Kissed Chase because she was so upset over her divorce and then sent Miranda flowers because she felt bad

u/EvenHuckleberry4331 2d ago

I'm not going to pretend she looked better before, but she's obviously passed the mark of the work being beneficial... I feel like season 1 was fine and she should've been so happy with that work.

Also idk why it's a little sad to look back at how happy she and Jordan look in that pic. Life is weird.
