Jennifer Aniston Named Face, Co-owner of Living Proof Hair Care

Jennifer Aniston‘s hair has changed lives — how could we ever forget “The Rachel”? — and now, the actress hopes to have an even bigger influence on the hair care industry, inking a deal as a spokesmodel and investor of Massachusetts-based product line Living Proof.

“Over the years, my hair has been subjected to everything … blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, color, extensions, you name it. My hair has taken a serious beating,” Aniston says in a release. “After using these products, I felt like I finally discovered a solution that works every day. I could not be more excited to share Living Proof with the world.”

What sets Living Proof apart from other hair care brands is science: the line was founded in part by Dr. Robert Langer, a professor at MIT, and it uses real scientists to solve tough beauty problems (don’t worry, they’re still working to solve real scientific problems in their labs, too).

As part of the deal, Aniston will assist in development and marketing, and will collaborate with the brand’s stylists and scientists on new product ideas. According to the Wall Street Journal, the star was first sold on the 7-year-old line while filming in North Carolina and successfully using the frizz-fighting cream in the 100-percent humidity.

Living Proof hair care products are available at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, QVC and on LivingProof.com; Aniston’s campaign is expected to shoot in November and will go national shortly thereafter. Tell us: Is Aniston a good choice for a hair care brand? Will you check out the line because of her?

PEPA on

Absolutely – she’s always had great hair!

Linda on

Absolutely!!!! In a second!! Love her and everything she stands for.

UnKnown on

I will definitely try that hair care line for sure!

Jenn ROCKS!!!!!!!

Jennifer on

That product is horrible.

Lisa on

I was very interested but I cannot find a concrete answer concerning if they are cruelty free from LP. Livingproof is not listed on LeapingBunny.com as a Cruelty Free company and when contacted they were very vague with their answer. :(

Vanessa on

Yes!!! She has great hair. I love her. She would never put her name on anything she didn’t believe in herself. Go Jenn!

menotyou on

I love Jennifer’s hairstyle and always wanted her style for myself, but I can’t grow it because of medication that made my hair thin out and break off. So I came up with a great solution – I bought a “Jennifer Aniston” wig! Not really named after her, but it is a close representation of her hairstyle. It’s called “Haute” by Jon Renau and is a great wig that has a smart-lace natural hairline. Everyone is always shocked when I tell them it’s a wig and not natural and I’ve had so many people say that it looks like Jen’s hair. I’m sticking with wigs permanently because a) I like to sleep late in the morning and don’t want to spend time messing around with hair and b) I’d rather have a retirement fund than waste money on products and monthly haircuts. One good “Haute” lasts me a year before I need to replace it.

Jen Pip on

I’ve been using this hair care product line for 2 years and nothing beats it. Big fan of Living Proof!

MARY on

i dont care how much this cost, am so going to buy it, she is worth buying, great hair. love you jen and wish you and your husband to be justin a happy marriage

Kate on

definitely she has awesome hair

Ana on

She has really pretty hair, but its probably nothing to do with the product. She just has pretty hair.

Guest on

She always has great hair because she has a 24/7 personal hairstylist. Take her hair stylist away and let’s see if she still has great hair.

DaisyMoon on

Never heard of it, but in my never-ending quest for the perfect hair products, I would definitely give it a try.

Mary Ann on

She’s Perfect,her hair is always beautiful!!

erica on

Lving Proof REALLY does ROCK! I couldn’t agree w/ Jen more!

Mimi on

I emailed this company when they first showed up at Sephora several years ago. I received a response from a company VP. According to him, this product is NOT cruelty-free and they do test on animals. So this is definitely not a product that I will use, even though I love Jennifer Aniston.

Jana on

I have been a hairstylist for 20+ years and this line BLOWS. It is overpriced and overrated. Her hair looks kind of greasy and stringy in the picture which makes sense to me since that’s what it did to clients I tried it out on and also to my own hair as well. Don’t waste your money.

Bebelu on

I use the Living Proof line, and I am glad to see Jennifer Aniston put her seal of approval on the product. She has beautiful hair.

fanofboardwalkempire on

Jennifer has always had great hair so of course I will check this line out! good for her!

debbi on

this this product animal tested? US does not require animal testing on personal care products.

Julia on

Awesome hair. Love this product. I have been using this for almpst a year, can’t beat it!!

Brooke on

Yes, I will check it out. Her name caught my attention to read this article.

Guest on

She is a perfect spokesperson for hair products, and she chose a great product to be associated with! Love her business sense too – she isn’t just signing as the face, but also is part owner now. Good for her!

KiKi on

It wouldn’t/won’t sell me on the product. Celebrity endorsements have never pushed me to buy something.

jurby on

no thanks! it’s just another hair care line that’s full of alcohol that dries and strips hair (and yes, i’ve tried it). i’ve used WEN for a few years now and i love it – it doesn’t contain alcohol nor anything else that dries nor strips and my hair went from always being dried out and frizzy to immediately being smooth with no frizz and feeling and looking 100% better and i no longer have any breakage either and my hair grows like crazy and has actually gotten thicker. sorry Jennifer, you’re a great actress but i’m not about to give up my WEN!

Tina on

Frizz-fighting cream?!! I’m in.

Heather on

This is what I found on Livingproof blog

Jane, we do not test on animals. Thanks for the question!

Erin on

Jennifer,
You know Living Proof is not one product, right? It’s an entire line of products. I’m not sure what you are referring you with your comment — “That product is horrible.”
What product did you have a bad experience with? I’ve only used their mousse and it worked great! I purchased the travel size and got multiple uses out of it; Would definitely recommend to those looking for volume without the crunch that can come w/mousses and travel size = more affordable!

Jodi on

Are her products for extensions, or are they for real hair? (yes, this is sarcasm.)

Alexis on

Not unless its cruelty free. Sounds suspicious like it is tested on animals. I use only cruelthy free. I hope she is being smart and not supporting torture of animals.,

Jennifer Brown on

Yea, She is gonna need the extra cash ,she maybe have a husband to support!

Kathi on

Definitely, she has such good hair!

Delia on

Anything she is involved with I will not be buying

lilkunta on

more bs to maker her richer. jen your hair is fabulous bc you have a hair stlist who comes to you and travels with you. living proof won’t give us hair like you.

also, what about people who arent anglo. has living proof been checked on indian hair? african american hair? hiapnic hair? what baout people who are multi ethnic, say half portuguese half cambodian ?

michele on

I already use it, it works and smells great

Mysti on

Heck yeah I’ll try it! She’s awesome and I believe in her endorsements. And she’s gorgeous with some seriously beautiful hair.

carol white on

Love it

Betty on

Well since a 43 year old woman still trying to be 20 tells you to use this product, who tests on animals, we are all suppose to run out and get it??

shooshoo on

Not from this woman no, never she could be giving anything away and I wouldn’t want it. I think she is a fake and not a nice person.

Benn on

Love her. Love this brand. Have tried it, does really tame curly wavy hair for blowouts. I’ve only used the spray. Hated the conditioner, sadly.

Leeler on

EVERYBODY has an opinion!!!! People are nuts!!!

Guest on

She uses the product but who style her hair to make it look beautiful.

Nicole on

I think she has beautiful hair, but I’ve tried some of the LP products, and I wasn’t blown away. The mousse is okay and the root lifting spray was okay, but for cleansing? I’m sticking with my WEN–my hair has never looked better.

Irise Bella on

POOr jen can u ever own something on ur own !!!

donna on

In today’s economy, I don’t care who endorses a product so long as it’s affordable.

Eva on

I LOVE Jen! She is just so normal. She has great hair. I LOVE her perfume too; wear it all the time.

Ann on

In the picture her hair looks flat and greasy. No thanks.

jaintn on

I just checked out the website and an 8 oz. bottle of conditioner (one cup) is $28. No thanks.

Rose on

I wouldn’t buy her or any star’s hair or skin products. They all use hair extensions and go to spas. That is pretty much what you can do now yourself. This hair product line of hers is just a way to make money. I guess to pay for Justin and her high maintenance lifestyle, and big ring.

lottieb on

Not a co-owner, an investor. You’re reporting a it a bit wrong. Used to work for them and I can report that they themselves do not do any animal testing, however some of the ingredients they use from other suppliers may not be cruelty free. Thus they cannot officially report they are cruelty free.

Guest336 on

Makes sense, since all she has to talk about is her hair!

It is sad to be almost 44 and all people praise you about is you average hair.

Can anyone name 5 interesting things she does with her life. All she talks about is her hair, body, Mexico and her hair again.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Darsi on

I already use some of the line, and it is really good. I think she is the perfect person to rep the line.

olive on

Thank you Lisa for saying that and as Maniston has always been such a dog lover it WOULD BE interesting to know if this product is indeed cruelty free. I personally found the product to be very heavy and I have extremely thick hair (I love Moroccan Oil). I don’t know how Man thinks this works on her hair that well because sans extensions when you see her hair in a ponytail it is super thin I know she used to love Kerastase which to me is the best overall hair are line out there

Remember her hairstylist Chris McMillan is one of her bffs and be assured this very insecure woman NEVER gets photos taken of her without looking perfect (well as perfect for her).

kenric himes on

It wouldn’t matter if Jennifer babe didn’t have hair, would still think. She is # 1 of prettiest. Woman. Of the century, no one could convience me any different. She’s to sexxxxxy. For me to say other wise. Loooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvreeeeee that woman GOD BLESSED HER!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU KENRIC. HIMES

kenric himes on

Just relaxing.

Marty White on

I am the ONLY one who has opposite views on buying hair care products (or other products) just because a star likes/represents it! Just because a star uses it, and it works for her, does not mean it will work for me! People are SO easily swayed by advertising….USE your OWN judgement, not someone else’s! And, I LOVE Jenifer Aniston ! She is a great actress, and I can’t help but feel she is probably a real sweetheart in real life. But, come on, folks!

So hot!! on

Omg!! She’s gorgeous!

Hairstyles on

As always amazing hair!!!!
