Why Jennifer Aniston Cut Her Hair

Jennifer Aniston recently caused a stir when she cut off her long hair in exchange for a short, chic bob. America is dying to know why she did it.

The man with the scissors, Jens hairdresser Chris McMillan, says she chopped her mop because she wanted a fresh, more natural look thats still sexy. "These days, Hollywood is a sea of hair extensions, and Jen wanted to set herself apart. There are so many long, layered hairstyles and don't get me wrong, I love that. But The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills all have that," McMillan says. And whats the opposite direction you can go in? A bob it is!

Jen's haircuts have been iconic for years. Back in the days of Friends, tons of women were running to their salons asking for The Rachel cut. We wouldnt be surprised if The Jen Bob became a trend of its own.

If you are looking to copy Jens do, McMillan says its all about keeping the look modern with angles. Her cut follows her jaw line and was done starting at the nape of her neck, angling up in the back. It's not too blunt but also not too layered, he explains. It kind of has a choppier edge.
