While you may know Jennifer Aniston as a world-renowned actor, or even a now newly-distinguished producer, she is also a well-established entrepreneur. Yep, Jen has her very own beauty brand that launched in 2021, named LolaVie. What a CV! We love to see it, Jen.
In her latest Instagram post, the Friends star is putting her latter qualification (metaphorically speaking, of course) as a beauty brand owner to good use with a very rapid hair tutorial alongside legendary hairstylist, Chris McMillan. And I say legendary very much with chest as he is the creator of 'The Rachel', after all.
In the tutorial, although the two are mainly focused on sharing how to use the LolaVie Perfecting Leave-In Conditioner, $29, instead, our main focus was on how Jennifer achieves such volume in her hair. You best believe we'll be trying this outcome our next hair wash day.
While Chris applies the leave-in conditioner to the ends of her hair ("a little bit goes a long way" as they say), Jen blowdries it by pointing the nozzle upwards and away from her face. In doing so, it will lift the roots up creating volume into the hair. This is a great quick-result technique but if you want even more lift, we recommend using a round brush whilst doing so. That way, you can section the hair for more precision.
Now, all we need is a longer step-by-step video tutorial (12 seconds wasn't enough to bask in all its glory) on how to exactly achieve 'The Rachel' hairstyle. Jennifer, Chris, please?
