| How do you like Jen's
casual beauty with soft waves and
highlighting in the above picture? The
photo of Jennifer Aniston was taken at
the People's Choice Awards in 2007. Jen
won the PCA just as she did in 2004. She
is extremely popular--and so are her
hairstyles. Which is why you're here,
right?
The Rachel
It all started in
the mid-1990s. Since the Rachel hairstyle
was introduced in 1995, no other female
star has inspired women seeking a hot
hairstyle more than Jennifer Aniston.
She played Rachel
Green on Friends, and got a new
haircut for the second season. It was
very popular and so many girls and women
all over the United States copied it.
It was in fact
requested so often at hair salons, it
became the most popular hairstyle of the
year, then the decade, then in all
recorded history!
The Louise Brooks
bob was a big hit in the 1920s; Farrah
Fawcett's big winged hair style was hot
in the 70s; but The Rachel in the 90s was
more popular than them all; it was the
top cut of all time. Jen is #1.
CNN
did a story on Jennifer's hair style in
August 1995. ("Want Rachel's
hair? Get in line.") And it was highlighted on Jennifer Aniston: Style Star.

When celebrity
magazines talk about hair, they talk
about Jennifer Aniston's hair. When they
sell an issue on celebrity hairstyles,
Jen is on the cover; because she has the
best hair in Hollywood.
Hairstyles Magazines
For over ten years
Jennifer has been on the cover of hair
styles magazines either as the main cover
model, or in an inset picture.
Indeed she has been
featured more than any other famous woman.
Jen is the choice of beauty editors
because she is the favorite of the people.
There were a few
years at the turn of the century when it
seemed there wasn't a single issue of the
top hairstyles magazines without Jen on
the cover.
One hair magazine,
in fact, asked women what kind of
hairstyles they wanted to wear, and one
category was "anything Jennifer
Aniston is wearing."
That speaks volumes
to her fame and consistency. For many
years she has had hair styles that are
worth copying and avoided bad haircuts
altogether. She simply hasn't made any
mistakes. Even the haircuts Jen had that
she didn't really personally like, other
ladies liked.
What makes Jen's hair styles so
popular?
Glamour
magazine did a feature on popular modern
haircuts, and it included the best of the
best, according to the public: "The
top 5 all-time most requested haircuts"
(Glamour, January 2004, pp. 26-27).
Jennifer Aniston's
layered hair style was featured. "Long
with lots of layers." Glamour
said it was a classic, one of the hairdos
that "never go out of style."
And that's why still today women want to
see her hair cuts.
As a lead actress on
Friends, the most popular TV
comedy in the 1990s, Jennifer came into
our homes every week. She was seen by
millions of us across America and around
the world, and we fell in love with her.
Most Popular Celeb
Why? Jennifer
Aniston has a wonderful heart; its warmth
warms us. She is such a genuine person, a
rare woman in Hollywood who is beautiful
on the inside and outside.
After the final
episode of Friends, she
continued her acting career in movies.
She was married to Brad Pitt and they
were a Hollywood power couple. And so she--and
her hair--continued to be shown to us
regularly by the media. The exposure was
immense.
Following the
unfortunate break-up of her marriage to
Pitt, due to evil home-wrecking by the
trashy celebrity Angelina Jolie, Jennifer
became a tabloid favorite all over again.
The tabloids milked the Pitt-Jolie-Aniston
saga week after week, month after month,
for years.
"Put Jennifer on The Cover!"
Studies have shown
that magazines with Jennifer Aniston on
the cover sell better than any other
celebrity. She just has incredible mass
appeal to the general public. Women
admire her and they can relate to her.
There is a lot about her to like, and
very little not to like.
Jen is a caring
person and down to earth. She rarely if
ever says bad things about other people,
and doesn't do a lot of stupid things
like many other stars. She is a good
person, clean-living, and sensible.
Beautiful Woman
Of course Jennifer
is also easy on the eye. She has
beautiful blue eyes, a svelte figure, and
great hair. Jennifer Aniston indeed bears
a striking resemblance to a world-famous
Brazilian beauty, supermodel Gisele
Bundchen. Even their haircuts and colors
are very similar!
So here you have a
beautiful woman, world famous, with a
great heart, and a fun personality, who
has beautiful hair and amazing hairstyles.
And gets tons of media exposure. In other
words, everything needed to be a
hairstyles icon. And that she is.
This site is for the
many women who like Jen, are inspired by
her, and wouldn't mind having their hair
styles look like hers... if at all
possible.
