By The Opeau team

Jennifer Aniston’s hair has been a trend in its own right since the 1990s. She has talked about how she looks after it many times, and since 2021 she has also had her own hair-care brand, LolaVie. That matters: when she names LolaVie products, she’s naming products her own company sells. Below we separate her general habits, which you can copy with whatever you already own, from the LolaVie products she has named, and suggest cheaper alternatives.

Quick answer

Aniston’s on-the-record habits are simple: layer a few products after washing, use little heat, and focus any blow-drying on the roots and hairline. Her current named products are from LolaVie, the brand she founded.

Her habit: detangler, then towel, then leave-in conditioner
Her heat habit: blow-dry around the hairline and roots, let the rest air-dry
Her own brand: LolaVie Glossing Detangler and Perfecting Leave-In
Cheaper alternatives: a spray detangler or leave-in such as It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In, plus a round brush

How we researched this

This guide is researched, not a hands-on review. We only used statements Aniston made in interviews, or her stylist made on the record, as reported by reputable outlets. Some interviews are more than a decade old, so we date them and flag when she had a business interest in a brand at the time. We did not include prices. Our cheaper alternatives are matched by product type, not by formula, and we make no claims about hair growth or hair health.

Her habit: layer, don’t overthink

In an Elle interview, syndicated on AOL, she described the order she uses: “I will use the Detangler, put it up in a towel, and then my Leave-In Conditioner.” You can copy that order with any detangler and leave-in.

Her habit: go easy on heat

Aniston has described a light-touch approach to blow-drying. Who What Wear quotes her: “I honestly just blow-dry it with my fingers around my hairline, and then I get the roots set, and then I’ll let the rest of the hair air-dry.”

In an older Marie Claire interview, she said that once her hair is halfway dry she uses low heat around the hairline and twists the strands with her fingers to get the cowlicks out. At the time of that interview she held a stake in the hair-care brand Living Proof, which Unilever later bought outright, according to Cosmetics Business; she now has her own brand.

Her longtime stylist, Chris McMillan, has given similar advice. The Zoe Report quotes him: “The key is to really lift and dry the roots.”

The LolaVie products she names (her own brand)

The connection: LolaVie is Aniston’s own brand. It debuted in 2021 with the Glossing Detangler, and Retail Dive later reported it was going into Ulta Beauty. Treat anything she says about LolaVie as a founder talking about her company, not an independent recommendation.

LolaVie Glossing Detangler

This was the brand’s first product. It’s a spray you use on damp hair before styling, which matches the first step in the routine she described to Elle.

LolaVie Perfecting Leave-In

The leave-in is the final step in the routine she described. The brand also sells the Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner; in the same Elle interview she said, “It is usually the Lolavie Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner.”

Cheaper alternatives

You don’t need her brand to follow her habits. Any spray detangler and lightweight leave-in will let you try the detangler, towel, leave-in order.

Leave-in spray: It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In is a widely sold spray leave-in that can stand in for both steps if you want one bottle.
Detangling spray: browse drugstore detangling sprays and pick one suited to your hair type.
Microfiber hair towel: a microfiber wrap makes the “hair up in a towel” step easier.

Worth it?

If you like the idea of a detangler and leave-in designed to be used together, LolaVie’s pair does that. But the parts of her routine that are easy to copy are free: the order she applies products, and using as little heat as possible.
