I think she's pretty, but I never cared for her hair. Even when her style was popular from the Friends days... I think people seem to like her hair because she makes it so silky pin straight :confused:

I don't dislike her hair, but I don't love it, either. I prefer more natural texture and I know she flatirons. I generally also prefer more volume. There's nothing wrong with thinner hair, or hair that isn't wild n' wurly, but that's my hairtype AND preference on women. I think it is romantic :)

I think it's more flattering on her when it's a bit more full.

Her natural texture AND color are gorgeous!

I've always liked her hair, but since my own hair has gotten thinner over the past few years, I've found myself developing a very strong preference for thick hair.

Figures, doesn't it? :rolleyes: :D

I'm with you all the way. I could never understand that look. Silky and straight is one thing; dull, razored, and lank is another. I know I hate it all the more because practically every teenager in my city was wearing it for years, and many still are. Only they looked much worse than Jennifer--major fly-aways, no shine, and lots of stripey highlights. It looked so strange and unhealthy to me.

I like her in [b]lilith[b]'s first picture, but not the second. I don't like it all in her face. Also, because my own hair looks terrible down (it clumps together and looks stringy, no matter what) I project that onto her hair. :P

Her natural hair colour is a much darker brown and it's curly. Even in the early episodes of Friends (which are always on TV here) it's completely different.
I'd only envy someone for having beautiful natural hair, anyone can get ots of highights and use straighteners!

Just like anyone else I am sure that Ms Aniston has her good and bad hair days, she is in the public eye and some will love her, some will loathe her and some won't care.

Hopefully Ms Aniston isn't a secret member and doesn't pop in to read all the negativity about her hair, maybe she wants to fix it? Or, she may like it just fine the way it is, different strokes for different folks!

I've never given it much thought, since the days of the Rachel Cut, but I have to say that I think her hair is pretty whether she wears it naturally with waves or when she flatirons. I don't see stringy when I see her hair. It looks as though her hair is very well cared for too. I don't see anything negative about her hair at all.

My hair has been incredibly different throughout the years, and it probably hadn't been "natural" since I was 15. I have highlights, lowlights, I curl it with heat..... If that means my hair is less stunning than someone with virgin hair, so be it. I think it is pretty fantastic :)

I actually consider her overall unattractive - I am puzzled at the appeal. On Friend's, I actually lusted after Phoebe's and Monica's hair more, because Phoebe had all those beautiful clips and Monica had gorgeous thick and dark and shiny hair. And it looked that way straightened or not!

To clarify, I am just not a big fan of manipulating your hair "slightly". She had brown hair so she went for golden highlights. To me, the beauty in hair dye is doing something different, if you're brown go black, red or blond but going slightly more golden brown is just UGH. Again, personal opinion and nobody has to listen to it. Her straightened hair is OK but it doesn't suit her too well - its not the texture itself, its that she looks so plain with it on. She basically defined a generation of mediocre hairstyles - don't go too extreme in hair color change, straighten that "out there" curls and BAM! you're normal and "attractive". So its not the straightness, its not the color, its that the fact that she CHANGED her hair intensely to achieve something so NORMAL that bothers me. (And for the record, straight, thin and golden brown hair that is natural looks better, period. More variation in tone, less flyaways and damage.)

my general opinion for what its worth.....

Celebrities make the choice to put themselves out there into the public eye....that choice comes with consequences - one being that people will and do discuss everything about them. They chose to be in the public spotlight, they chose to put themselves in a position where they will be talked about.
For example, if Miley Cyrus is going to stand up on stage and dance around like a $2 stripper, then I will not hesitate to say to someone that in my opinion, she looks like a cheap stripper..... if she does not want people to discuss an opinion on her...then she should stick to dancing in her bedroom, not on stage which is televised accross the globe.

I hate to say it, but of all the people that I compliment about their hair, I think only one was for her natural color. Most of the time the person admits to having some help in achieving the very color that I am complimenting. It is not intentional on my part by any means.

Sharing opinions is not criticizing. At the end of the day I have not read any post where the person said about Jennifer, that she's an ugly bird with hideous hair and whatnot. I think it is possible to share opinions without pure criticism. See, if we started a thread about the latest edition of a specific car then again some people would love the car and talk about its advantages, others however will say they do not like it. It's opinion, not harsh criticism. Our collective goal here is harmony and peace, which is great of course, but tiptoeing cannot be the way either. My two cents. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to topic now :)

I like her hair, it suits her very well. It might not be what many of us are aspiring to here but it's lovely in its own right, and it's part of her overall signature style. Then again, I just think she's adorable, so it figures that I'm a bit partial towards everything about her.

I disagree. For many celebrities being placed in the spotlight is an unfortunate consequence of pursuing a job they love. Not all of them, of course, and some really do endeavour to draw attention to themselves, but I think it's unfair to take the attitude that they 'deserve' it because they've chosen to live a public life.

There's also the famous people, like the British royal family, who don't make any choice at all and are placed in the limelight by tabloids. I know this doesn't apply to Jennifer Aniston, but it is something to think about when you say that people choose to be famous.

That's why I put it in quotation marks; I know it's not the best choice but I couldn't think of any others and it seemed to be what you were implying in your original post.

I don't really think it's fair to say that it just comes with being a celebrity. It does, and it's a sad truth, but that doesn't mean we should participate in it, KWIM? I'm not perfect, I make snap judgements and petty remarks, and I think everyone does and always will. Obviously as celebrities there are more people who 'know' them who can voice opinions about them (I can start talking about someone I know at uni, but no one here can contribute because all they know if this person is what I've told them), but I still don't think it's fair to say that they've chosen it.

I dont appreciate your comment. No, I am not puting her down for the purpose of making myself feel better. Im perfectly fine with who I am. Why must people think jealous is the cause of every negative statement? It is simply my opinion of her hair. Im not a fan of overprocessed hair thats all.

Hair, makeup, its all subjective. If I dont find her hair attractive it does not make it the law.. just a thought.

To paraphrase Katurday, on Friend's, I actually lusted after Phoebe more, LOL!

Of course I preferred Lisa Kudrow's character to Jennifer Aniston's, as much because the latter played a more conventional person as just because of the relative lengths of their hair. I am more attracted to the long-haired hippie, albeit ditzy hippie-dippie nutcase, or perhaps even because she is a little crazy and 'out there', than to the other character who I am supposed to find glamourous, which I can see intellectually, but who I just don't find as attractive.

Reality check! These are actresses. Lisa and Jennifer are not really Phoebe and Rachel. The latter don't exist. Whilst I recognise aspects of Phoebe in Lisa, and find the real actress likeable, she is not that person! I even got upset when Lisa cut her hair, but I do know that she isn't Phoebe. Likewise, Jennifer is not Rachel. It's TV, get a life, people!

Perhaps; and yet that type of verbiage and line of thought seems to lead to a sense of entitlement, or justification, for the behavior of over-criticizing celebrities (specifically as seen in the media). And the behavior is agreeably unwarranted, for the most part.

I am not totally fixated with her, but I do think she looks so pretty here. No, her hair is not thick, but neither is it "thin and stringy". Who cares if her hair is a bit processed? It still looks nice on her. Generally, hair doesn't HAVE to be supremely thick to look good. >__>

Not sure if I already posted this, but Jennifer Aniston's hair is styled that way to flatter her face. Ever noticed how many movie stars have their hair hanging in their faces? It's their stylists who figure out the best style to flatter their faces in film/on tv. From what I can remember, she has very thick, curly hair. It's probably been layered and constantly flat ironed to look like that.

I do think it suits her, but I don't think I'd like my hair hanging in my face all the time--drives me bonkers on days where it's as hot as it is right now :D

It looks thin and stringy. It appears to be the type of hair that would only look decent after a professional spends some time on it.

I would like to point out that super-straight hair, no matter its thickness or texture, seems to be labeled as "thin." This is why I don't think judging hair's thickness by its general appearance is not always accurate. Just because hair is super-fluffy does not automatically make it "thick" and hair that is not super-voluminous is automatically "thin."

For example, I have a thick ponytail circumference, but on the days where it wants to be flat, I've had people tell me that I have "thin" hair which is not true. I know others with sleek and straight hair have encountered this as well. I know the people who say these things aren't (generally) trying to be mean and that they are just making an observation, but it can hurt sometimes. This is why I try not to judge someone's hair thickness solely based on its lack of curl and the way it hangs.

I find that hair thickness is more easily determined by ponytail circumference and/or how dense/sparse the individual hairs are when you put your hands into the hair.

That being said, I don't even try to hairtype celebrities because of all of the processing, cutting, hair extensions, and styling. I don't trust whet I see in movies/television because I know it doesn't depict reality.

Finally, I would like to note that I'm not offended by this comment or anything. I'm just trying to point something out that hasn't been mentioned.

Seeing her thin hair looking so good on tv is what inspired me to let my hair grow out. I have, naturally, that light brown/ goldish color, and my hair is always stick straight. In fact, it very nearly looks just like hers in a lot of the pictures I just looked at online. It's nice to hear that at least some people like how her hair looks. I don't think it's boring. :)
