Jennifer Aniston on Why Her Hair’s Growing at an “Alarmingly Fast Rate” in Her 50s

Back in July, Jennifer Aniston was doused and drenched in ink black oil on the streets of New York City.

You can’t have missed the paparazzi shots. But in case you did, here’s some context: While filming for the fourth season of The Morning Show, her character Alex Levy had someone hurl sludge at her during a protest scene.
“It was 98,000 degrees outside, and humidity was at an all-time high,” Aniston tells InStyle while driving up North in California on a decidedly cooler late summer’s day. “You’re with 400 extras, and you’re all sardines in the street. It was just, “Ah!” I scrubbed top to bottom that day!”

So, how exactly did Aniston remove all that greasy oil? And more specifically, how did she salvage her perpetually lush and sun-kissed waves? The answer is simple: Her hair-care brand LolaVie’s new Exfoliate & Detox Scalp shampoo, a 2-in-1 scalp scrub and clarifying shampoo supercharged with activated charcoal and AHAs to draw out impurities and build-up in one fell swoop. “You have no idea how much I detoxed my scalp after that,” says Aniston, letting out her instantly recognizable laugh.

As we know, Aniston’s hair has been a celebrity in its own right since her days as Rachel Green on Friends when she and longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan launched trend after trend (including The Rachel, of course) while keeping her hair in tip-top shape. But still, the fruits of a scalp scrub have opened up a whole new world of hair health—and unprecedented growth—for Aniston.

“I was going through a period that started in the forties-ish where my hair started to kind of not grow as thick as it used to,” she explains. “And then…all I can say is once I understood the purpose [of a scalp scrub], I was obsessed.” But with one non-negotiable, she stresses: “I was intent on making one that isn’t an additional step.” Obsessive multi-taskers, this one’s for us.

In an exclusive interview with InStyle, Aniston talks about making her dream scalp scrub, washing her hair in the sink as a teenager, and why her hair’s growing at an “alarmingly fast rate.”
