Jennifer Aniston has had the same style, more or less, ever since she ditched the “Rachel” in the ’90s—which is why we basically had a heart attack when we saw her latest cut. Jennifer Aniston makeover hair moments aren’t that rare, but this one tops them all. Jen, who’s currently shooting an untitled project with Tim Robbins and Will Forte, debuted a freshly shorn scalp in New York last night. “It’s for a role,” she reportedly told a friend. “My character gets to this really broken point, and [director] Daniel [Schechter] and I thought it would make her more realistic.”
Okay, so it’s not April Fools, but we are totally kidding. Aniston is probably home taking good care of her perfectly highlighted hair (and sipping a margarita). But come on, how epic would it be if she did actually look like this in her next Instagram post?

Jokes aside, Aniston may be known for her medium-length blonde hair, but her hair looks through the years are way more versatile than you probably remember. Between her iconic Friends haircut and this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, she’s tried out a number of styles…and looked flawless in each and every one. Need proof? Read on for a look back at some of her standout hairstyles since making her TV debut in the ’90s.
