When you think of Jennifer Aniston, two hairstyles likely come to mind. During her time on “Friends,” Aniston popularized one of the trendiest ’90s haircuts ever, ‘The Rachel.’ She’s also known for her long, straight, highlighted style, often seen on red carpets. But look closely, and you’ll notice that this talented actress has actually changed her hairstyle quite a few times throughout her impressive career, albeit subtly.
It’s no surprise that Aniston has become a hair icon, considering the care she puts into her locks. Her long-time hairstylist, Chris McMillan, told Elle in 2009 that Aniston really takes care of her hair, even between her six-week interval cuts. “She doesn’t rip through it when she brushes it after a shower. And she lets her hair dry on its own when she’s not working,” he said. McMillan also praised Aniston for finishing off her own hairstyles, saying, “She likes to wear her hair natural, and she’s good at styling it on her own.”
Aniston’s expertise in hair care is evident with her own hair care line, LolaVie, launched in 2021. This move into the hair industry is fitting, given her gorgeous hair transformation from the start of her acting career to today.
Jennifer Aniston started her career with long, dark locks
In 1990, Jennifer Aniston had long, dark locks. At 21, she was relatively unknown on TV, having just landed a role in the “Ferris Bueller” TV show. She gave off total girl-next-door vibes with her rich brunette tone. Her hair was darker than the honey tone she sported later in her career, and she still embraced the voluminous, big hair popular in the 1980s. It’s unclear if this was her natural shade, though we know her natural hair color is dark brown.
This early photo shows Aniston had a lot of hair and serious volume, which aligns with her viral hair hack and may explain why she struggled with styling her tresses pre-fame. “I always chuckle when I hear people saying I have great hair because as a kid it was always a challenge,” she told ABC News in 2014. Aniston echoed this sentiment to Forbes in 2023, attributing her thick, voluminous hair to her Greek heritage. “My mom had curly hair, so it’s never been easy to blow dry my hair or brush my hair,” she said.
