The Secret Hair Tips from Jennifer Aniston’s Hair Stylist
If there’s anyone whose hair (and body, and wardrobe, and those muscular arms) we all wish we could have, it’s Jennifer Aniston. We can all agree on that, right? I once wrote about why she is the best-dressed woman in the world
, in my opinion. Her ‘Rachel’ haircut is the most requested haircut ever in salons. And although she occasionally changes the length and style, she always keeps that signature hair. Good to know: even Jennifer has to sweat for that six-pack and, just like us, she leans over the sink to add volume to her hair. The big difference between her and us? She has Chris McMillan: the celebrity hairstylist who whispers his golden hair tips to her. Luckily, he doesn’t keep these tips to himself but generously shares them on Instagram. And my life’s mission? To pass them on to you with love and speed.

1. Cut is more important than products
Of course, a great shampoo (I swear by the Christophe Robin Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt) and nourishing oil from Moroccanoil help. But ultimately, the way you’re cut is the most important. With a bad haircut, you won’t make it, no matter how luxurious your products are. So, find a top stylist – think Leco van Zadelhoff or Chris McMillan himself – and you’re already halfway to Jennifer’s shine. Extra fun: Chris McMillan now has his own hairline (available at Sephora), and Jennifer herself has her brand **LolaVie**. (By the way, Lola was the name of her first car – a detail we didn’t want to withhold from you.)
2. Embrace your ‘dirty’ hair
According to Chris, the ultimate cool girl hair is actually not super clean. You don’t need to wash your hair every day. A bit of messy texture with the right products gives a much more effortless and modern look than a perfectly blow-dried style.
3. Blow-dry step by step
Think methodically: don’t try to do everything at once. First, blow-dry your hair roughly, then hang upside down for extra volume, and then work in sections. Clip up the top part and blow-dry the lower layers. Yes, it takes a while, but the result pays off tenfold. 
4. Don’t touch it
As tempting as it is: try not to touch your hair too much. Every time you run your hands through your hair, it gets greasy faster and loses the texture you worked so hard for.
5. An old T-shirt is your best friend
This is the biggest mistake we all make: drying your hair with a towel. Way too rough. According to Chris, an old T-shirt works much better. Divide your hair into two halves, gently squeeze the moisture out, and catch it in the fabric. The soft texture prevents frizz and breakage.
