Jennifer Aniston's Perfect Hair?
Question
Dear Karen,
I am a 20 year old woman who just loves
Jennifer Aniston's casual but sexy hair looks. I have adored
her hair since the "Rachel" and now I love her short new
do. I have heard that Jennifer has a stylist that works on her
hair for the TV Show Friends and I wanted to get any scoops you
could give me on that. Also, what do you know about Courteney
Cox's hair? Sorry to be so star struck but I am a big fan.

PS. I just love the HairBoutique.com.
I think it is the best site for hair on the web.
Answer
Dear Emme,
 Believe it or not rumor has it that Jennifer goes through periods where
she gets sick and tired of dealing with her hair. Which in reality is what
most of us go through from time to time. Jennifer ultimately let her
"Rachel" grow out because she was tired of so many people copying
her look. There is a famous story where someone stopped her on the street
and asked her where she got her cut. Little did the person know that
they were talking to the "original Rachel" in person.
Jennifer, as reports go, is very "hair conscious" and does care
about looking great but she struggle to maintain her own style and
individuality. The minute that Jennifer sports a new hairstyle the world
hurries to copy. In many way Jennifer is a trendsetter in the world of
hair. When she sported the Rachel it set off a major craze. When
she was spotted last year with faux dreadlocks another hair trend became
even hotter.
 Now Jennifer is wearing her hair super short which in itself is
very controversial. Although many people love the new look,
just as many hate it. The ironic thing about Jennifer's new
cut is that it is more controversial than politics or religion to
some people.
Is there a reason that Jennifer has the hottest hair on
Friends? Yes. The show's insiders report that brunette
Jennifer has the best hair of anyone in the entire cast. The other
cast members have "problem" hair that has to be
tamed. Rumor has it that Courteney Cox is prematurely gray and
requires constant upkeep of her roots. It is also reported
that Lisa Kudrow has to have her naturally mousy brown hair
highlighted to its sunny shades of blonde. It has been reported that
Lisa also has hard to manage hair that requires a lot of time to
tame.
Jennifer just has great hair. Don't be fooled though.
Jennifer works hard at having fabulous hair. A show's insider once
reported that she uses five different treatments on her hair. Jennifer
uses a pre-shampoo solution to condition her hair followed by an organic
shampoo that gently cleanses her hair. The shampoo is followed by an
organic conditioner, a leave-in conditioner and a special gel to shape and
style her hair. No wonder her hair looks picture perfect.
Jennifer has had several stylists work with her hair. Chris
McMillan in Los Angeles created the original "Rachel". Irish
hairstylist John Barrett from Frederick Fekkai's salon in NYC's
Bergdorf Goodman department store has also spent some time working with
Jennifer's hair for the Friends show. John has also worked on all the
other Friend's cast members.
The cast of Friends found John when they were in New York several years
ago filming a special Saturday Night Live. John did their hair for the
SNL show and they decided to use him for the Friends telecast.
Although Jennifer appeared to have a sudden growth spurt on the show last
year, the added hair length was due to hair extensions. Jennifer was
required to have the longer hair for a movie she was filming. Many
speculate that the new super short cut is the result of having the
extensions finally removed.
When she wore the Rachel Jennifer had chunky blonde highlights
around her face. This trend has changed. Gone are the chunks
replaced by lots of subtle highlights that give her hair a
spectacular warm glow.
Whether Jennifer keeps her hair short or allows it to grow, you can bet
that she will be setting new hair trends on a regular basis.
Best wishes,
Karen
