There's no other star that's rocked the "Rachel" haircut better than the one who made it a sensation in the first place— the inimitable Jennifer Aniston. Speaking of the "Rachel"— the iconic hairstyle, and Aniston are both back on the radar since the actress unveiled a refreshed version of the style at this year's Golden Globes.
At 55, Aniston looks more gorgeous and youthful than ever with her new shoulder-grazing bob that has sent many of us rushing to the salon to get her look and stock up on her wildly popular haircare brand LolaVie. Considering the A-lister continues to age backward (and we thought her ex Brad Pitt was Benjamin Button), before our very eyes, like us you're probably also begging to know her beauty and style secrets. So here goes.
Jennifer Aniston is the OG Hair-Influencer
From the moment she shot to fame in Friends back in the mid-nineties, the world has been obsessed with Aniston and her hair. The actress has worked with longtime celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan and credits him and colorist Michael Canalé for her signature cut and honey-caramel blonde. What you may not know about Aniston is she obsessively reads medical journals and stays on top of the latest beauty and health technologies and innovations, which inspired and informed the creation of her clean plant-based hair care brand LolaVie. Aniston is the driving force behind the science meets nature brand and spends hours making sure her products live up to their claims. As for who Lola is? "Someone who owns who they are believes in themselves, and does things their own way, " Aniston states on the brand's website. Which sounds a little like someone we know.
Aniston's Haircare Brand LolaVie Has a Cult Following
Incidentally, if you want to jump on the choppy bob trend LolaVie just launched a new sculpting paste which is the last step in your hair routine. "It's going to give you that piece-y, textured look. Or when your hair is up in a bun or slicked back in any kind of an updo, it's great for fine-tuning flyaways around the front of the face," Aniston told CNN.
Aniston's Anti-Ageing Routine Includes Facials and Gadgets
Along with her love for Jillian Dempsey's beauty wand and sheet masks, Aniston often visits Melanie Simon and Joanna Czech for facial treatments that repair and restore her skin. She is also a fan of Czech's signature massages that also achieve an instant glow. "It's all about treating the facial muscles like dough – digging into the muscle and grasping it," she told British Vogue.
Aniston Takes Ingestible Collagen Every Morning
After making the decision to finally start eating breakfast in 2014, Aniston's option is quick and easy. As recommended by her doctor, she takes Vital Proteins powder in a shake to boost the health and vitality of her hair and nails. She's also a huge advocate for the power of H2O. "The best beauty tip I have for people is to sleep and drink water, honestly," she has said. "I'll get mad at my friend Courteney Cox all the time because she'll tell me she hasn't had a sip of water today—and I'm like...are you out of your mind? Water is everything."
Meet the Makeup Artist Behind Her Luminous Glow
With clients like Nicole Kidman and Michelle Williams on her books, celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin is the woman responsible for Aniston's signature look, which Levin describes as " natural glam". Yep, Aniston's classic fashion style (which has long favored an LBD) also extends to her makeup. Fresh glowing skin with a hint of bronzer, a defined brow, mascara, and a soft pink or nude lip is what she's known for. As for those brows, the dynamic duo turns to products like Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel ($13) and Brow Wiz to perfect the star's arches.
Aniston Uses Skincare Products We Can All Afford
The Hollywood actress revealed she has a simple and affordable blemish hack — Mario Badescu Drying Lotion ($18). Aniston is also a longtime fan of the Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar ($3). "It's been pretty much the same routine for a long time since I'm a creature of habit. I wash my face with my Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar, and then I usually use a toner, whatever toner of the month I'm using. And serum, depending on what serum I'm using at the time," she said.
