Jennifer Aniston's hair is always a source of inspiration and now it is precisely her stylist Chris McMillan, the actress's friend and stylist for years (he was responsible for her look and Rachel cut in "Friends") who has confessed the secrets best kept and definitive to leave us the mane that spectacular.
Actress Jennifer Aniston has not always sported a long hair like the one she wears today. And it is precisely her stylist Chris McMillan who has just confessed her best tricks to have incredible hair as the protagonist of "The Morning Show".
And it is that although the stylist has been combing the actress for years, he met her with long hair and bangs and she refused to cut even an inch of her hair. But he convinced her to cut her hair and that she needed to grow her bangs out.
He cut several inches of her hair, also from her bangs to the ends of her and also taught her tricks how to hold the bangs that grow with a hairpin and hide it.
Since then, you just have to remember how everyone then did the same in the first year of the "Friends" series. Two months later, Jennifer returned to the salon to get another haircut, her bangs had already grown out and were longer so Chris McMillan just cut her length a little longer.
And a few weeks later, her bangs already reached her chin, and the rest of her hair reached her shoulders with long and loose layers, which both the stylist and Aniston herself baptized or as the "Rachel" cut that became iconic.
THE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR MYTHICAL RACHEL CUT
Chris McMillan took inspiration from a model named Beri Smither to create the Rachel cut and hairstyle, and stylist Ward Stegerhoek styled it at the time. He wore an amazing haircut that McMillan was inspired to cut for her Rachel. Though, however, Jen likes her long hair with the over-plucked and XL layers of hers.
McMillan has also confessed what the real texture of Jennifer Aniston's hair is because although we are used to seeing it straight, Jennifer Aniston has naturally wavy hair, of medium texture and that curls easily although if you blow-dry it, it remains straight but with body. .
When it comes to hair washing, Jennifer Aniston washes and conditions her hair almost every day and loves deep hair repair treatments with Shu Uemura products. Although before going to the stylist, she used Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle and the firm's conditioning sprays.
ONE HAIR CUT EVERY SIX WEEKS
To space out her visits to the salon, McMillan cuts Jennifer Aniston's hair every six weeks and between visits, Aniston takes care of her hair by letting her hair dry on its own when she's not working. She likes to wear her hair natural and she is really good at styling it on her own.
But as McMillan assures Jennifer Aniston loves beautiful, textured and sexy hair, that is, with that undone effect like a bed head effect without any styling tools having passed through her hair. Because as McMillan assures, she never uses a curling iron or iron with the actress but they always embrace her natural texture with round brushes to give her hair a gesture and a soft volume or curl even for her events on the red carpet. .
EFFORTLESS PILLOWS AND HAIRSTYLES
And when it comes to combing her hair for a special event or a movie date, she always chooses pigtails or a natural bun, but very quick and easy to do as if she had done it herself. And for her day to day, sometimes, she wears a low or loose braid because she likes the effortless style since she loves the beach, nature and animals and she works those types of styles more with her own personality. .
When it comes to taking advantage of Jennifer Aniston's waves and curls, Chris McMillan surrenders to the seawater sprays of Bumble & Bumble or Shu Uemura and I try to leave my hair half dry, half wet with the dryer varying the size of the brushes and twirling the hair around them. Thus, curls can be removed by letting Aniston's own hair take its natural shape.
And always, he dries the roots with a hairdryer, approximately two inches, leaving the ends a little more curly. Although McMillan assures that he also likes to dry the hair around his face with some strands behind the ears.
A FEW DROPS OF OIL TO GIVE AN EXTRA SHINE TO THE TONNEY
She also relies on oils to give Jennifer Aniston's mane extra shine and applies a few drops to her hand, rubs them and spreads them on the ends of the actress's hair while it is wet, and then dries her hair with a round brush. and the result could not be more spectacular. And never, ever apply oil to the roots, just to add shine and texture.
As for the bob that Jennifer Aniston wore between 2000 and 2001 McMillan was inspired by iconic women like Brigitte Bardot, Mia Farrow or Peggy Moffitt and the hairstyle of Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde".
Of course, Jennifer Aniston's hair has changed in recent years as well as its texture and length, but without a doubt, and what is clear is that Jennifer, although she likes to be fashionable, loves comfort.
