For her highly anticipated wedding with Justin Theroux, Aniston says she’ll likely stick with her current signature look – straight and easy (CL / Splash News)
Jennifer Aniston has once again bad-mouthed “The Rachel,” the iconic ’90s-era layered look that inspired legions of hair-copycats across the country.
After telling Allure in 2011 that the style was “the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen,” the “Friends” star says in Marie Claire‘s July issue, “‘The Rachel’ was horrible! I’d curse [hairstylist] Chris [McMillan] every time I had to blowdry. It took three brushes – it was like doing surgery!”
The 44-year-old actress explains that she prefers simplicity for her tresses: “I’m a creature of habit. I like a good, straight blowout…I love my hair most when we let it go raw and natural.”
Aniston reveals, “I have naturally wavy, frizzy Greek hair, and over the years it’s taken a beating from blow-dryers, flatirons, curlers, and extensions, which I think are the most damaging. I couldn’t get it to grow because it just kept breaking. Even when it was longer, it didn’t look long because the ends were so thin. I ended up using clip-in pieces just to fill it out.”
However, she admits that she’s jealous of another style icon’s hair – the Duchess of Cambridge’s.
“Does she do her hair herself?” Aniston wondered to the magazine. “She’s got a hard job, being scrutinized like that. When I have a bad hair day, my hair just goes in a clip.”
As for her highly anticipated nuptials with Justin Theroux, Aniston says she’ll likely stick with her current straight and easy cut.
“For my wedding, I wouldn’t do an updo, but I think a veil is always pretty,” she says. “I like loose and natural hair because it goes against the formality of the dress. Loose, like, ‘I just got out of bed, maybe had a romp’ hair.”
