This is how you get Jennifer Aniston's hair: the story of an icon
Thanks to Instagram we already know who is hiding behind the most desired and copied mane of television
Your cover letter when applying for any job could be: "Hi, I'm Henry McMillan and I'm the creator of Jennifer Aniston's hair." With that simple phrase, his waiting list would be eternal because we would all want him to 'anistonize' us. The actress with the most envied hair in Hollywood, not content with creating and recommending hair cosmetics, she has gradually introduced us to her hairdresser, the gentleman who has elevated her to the highest status of hair.
Henry McMillan, who has just celebrated his birthday with his friend and muse Jennifer Aniston, is the man behind the most famous blonde hair, without being blonde, of all time. Her haircuts, from bob to XXL with layers as an excuse to add volume and movement, her coloring that made us love balayage highlights without knowing what they were, and her hairstyles in which each strand had a remote-controlled place on which to fall deserve a temple in the hair Olympus and have been the secret by which all women want to be Jennifer Aniston.
Hello, Jen's hair, since when do you inspire me?
More than Jennifer Aniston's mane, what really became an icon was the hair of Rachel Green, the character from 'Friends' who made her famous. Such was the success of the series that Rachel was causing a trend beyond the small screen. From the clothes she wore to her haircut, she became the benchmark for generations. Hairdressers from all over the world received her clients, photo of Jen in hand, requesting the same look as her neighbor. Since then, the actress knows that her hair is an object of desire. There is no healthier, more luminous hair with the best chromatically placed highlights on the entire face of the earth. After discovering and loving the hairdresser behind the most desired hair of all time, we hit the 'rewind' button and decided to go through all of Jennifer Aniston's haircuts and here is the spoiler: they are all still from fashion.
It is precisely the tone of the hair that has changed the least over the years in the image of the actress. Although it is true that we met her with a darker hue, she has always moved on the blonde scale, from darkest to ash and reaching lighter ranges but always within naturalness ... It could be said that blonde is her comfort zone. To introduce this color to her brown hair in a natural way, her great allies throughout these years have been the highlights, always present in each and every one of her looks. One tip to keep them as the first day is to use products suitable for colored hair, such as TRESemmé Color Keratin Shampoo (€ 10.90).
She became known in the series 'Friends' with a midi mane, where the volume was the protagonist, thanks to the weathered and blunt in which the tone of the hair was a light brown with some shy reflection, especially in the front part, to get that blonde feeling but without having to live enslaved by the hairdresser. Currently, this cut can be similar to the long bob, an eternal trend for a few years.
Later we saw her with a very flattering bob. The variation in tone is more subtle, it is mainly due to the use of highlights. To take care of this haircut it is necessary to visit the hairdresser frequently and thus maintain the desired length.
The most radical change we saw a few years later, when she went to an XXL mane. During the time that she wore this look, she always wore it with soft waves, just like she did - and has continued to do - Gisele Bündchen and that, like it or not, it will always be a trend. To recreate this ultra-sexy hairstyle, you can use the iron, drawing waves and undoing them with your fingers. For any type of hot tool, never, ever, ever forget to apply a hair protector like UniqONE by Revlon (€ 10.85) beforehand. Another way to get these waves is with the help of salt spray, which adds texture to the hair; for example, Beach Blonde by John Frieda (€ 7.90).
However, since that decade of hair experimentation, Jennifer Aniston has not changed her hair for several years. Some haircut a little more in a hurry than another and a withering fringe that lasted as long as the filming and promotion of a romantic comedy lasts. For some time now, the actress has been wearing a medium length of hair with straight hair parted in the middle, although she changes from time to time next to her; that's all the audacity of her.
Jennifer Aniston's mane will continue to be a reference for centuries and centuries.
