Jennifer Aniston's hair story (2024)

The style: The 'Rachel' had become an iconic cut.

Where: The premiere of Leprechaun, 1992

The style: This is perhaps the darkest Aniston has ever gone.

Where: The premiere of The Object of My Affection, 1998

The style: An interesting up-do comprised of tiny ponytails. It's a style of the time.

Where: Friends filming 1999

The style: Considering Aniston revealed that she disliked her iconic 'Rachel' haircut, it's perhaps not surprisingly that she wore it longer and straighter in future seasons.

Where: 27^th Annual People's Choice Awards, 2001

The style: Short, straight and sleek – the actress looked chic on the red carpet.

Where: 51^st Emmy Awards, 1999

The style: Not many people could pull of this tousled – faux dreadlocked – look.

Where: The premiere of Erin Brockovich, 2000

The style: When Aniston discovered hair extensions, she fully embraced the length they could offer.

Where: The premiere of Spy Game, 2001

The style: It wasn't until 2001 that the signature 'Rachel' style received a sleeker update.

Where: 54^th Emmy Awards, 2002

The style: In 2002, the actress opted for a perm-inspired, beachy wave look.

Where: The 55^th Emmy Awards, 2003

The style: A year later, she opted for a lighter and smoother style.

Where: The premiere of Along Came Polly, 2004

The style: This is the closest Aniston has ever come to having a fringe.

Where: The 78^th Annual Academy Awards, 2006

The style: Rather than choosing stripy highlights, the actress took a tonal take on hair colour and opted for an all-over warmer, blonde hue.

Where: The premiere of He's Just Not That Into You, 2009

The style: A smooth ponytail is one of Aniston's favourite up-do styles.

Where: The Oscars party, 2009

The style: The actress opted for a low-key, beachy braid on the red carpet at the Oscars.

Where: Jon Stewart Daily Show appearance, 2010

The style: A rare up-do featured a slightly loose sweeping fringe and tight bun. It was a chic choice from the actress.

Where: Filming Wunderlust, 2010

The style: Aniston was able to experiment with more ponytails and plaits while filming Wunderlust but up-dos weren't a style she adopted after the camera stopped rolling.

Where: The premiere of Horrible Bosses, 2011

The style: This was the year that Jennifer Aniston started dating Justin Theroux. It was also the year that she gave her hair a revamp – shorter, lighter and ultimately, chicer.

Where: 26th American Cinematheque Award Gala, 2012

The style: To add body to straight hair, follow the actress' example and use a straightening iron to curl and flick your hair in towards your face.

Where: Hollywood Walk Of Fame, 2012

The style: Aniston was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and marked the occasion with cool blonde highlights and straight hair that was lifted (most likely by volumising products) at the roots.

Where: The Guys Choice Awards, 2013

The style: With a tightly braided side, this is one of Aniston's more adventurous styles.
