Jennifer Aniston has arguably one of the most famous heads of hair in the world. From her iconic 'The Rachel' haircut to her signature beachy highlights, it's no secret that Jen An has great hair.
In fact, when it comes to celebrity hair inspiration, Jennifer Aniston always ranks admirably high. For the past 20 years, Jen's been a go-to reference for hairstylists and clients alike. We dread to think how many times her highlights have been torn out of magazines, or her layers have been the subject of an on-the-go screenshot.
Jen's go-to colourist, Justin Anderson, even admitted how nervous he was to work with her for the first time and that was all because of her hair's iconic status. 'I was so nervous the day I first worked with Jen,' he admitted to Grazia, 'she's a hair icon after all, but all that said, I knew that we were going to be such a good match, so I was excited too.' Why such a perfect match? 'I'm known for creating blonde looks that keep hair healthy, and that's what Jen wanted. We have a very similar eye for hair colour too.'
The global focus on Jen’s hair arguably led to her launching her very own hair brand, LolaVie, earlier this year. The plant-based haircare line's hero product is an easy-to-use detangling spray.
But as much as Jen is known for her glossy, golden-toned lengths nowadays, she has been known to switch things up every now and again. You only have to work your way through a few series of Friends to recall the side fringe era, the blunt jaw-length bob and the tousled beach waves. Need a reminder? Look no further. Here we take a nostalgic look back through some of Jennifer Aniston's best ever hair looks.
