We all know 'blondes have more fun', but Jennifer Aniston is proving that grey-haired gals have still got it - showcasing her natural silver roots on social media in a move that has been hailed as "refreshing".
In a clip shared with her 42 million followers on Instagram late last week, the Friends star embraced her natural greys with a casual half-up-half-down style while announcing the latest launch from her haircare brand, LolaVie.
In the Instagram Reel, the 54-year-old explained how to use the new product, an Intensive Repair Treatment, while wearing a simple black long-sleeve and leggings.
But fans appeared equally excited about the fact that Aniston wasn't hiding her greys, with one writing in the comments: "Well done for allowing grey to come through - refreshing."
"I wasn't sure if I was imagining it. So nice to see. And she's obviously still gorgeous," said another, with a third adding: "I wasn't sure if that was grey or blonde highlights. Hard to tell in pictures. Either way... she's gorgeous!"
"Jen, your hair is just a masterpiece and everybody agrees," said a fourth, while another enthused: "If I will look like YOU after using these products I'll buy a case!"
One fan who commented, "Oh no, she [has] grey hair, but still pretty," was quickly met with backlash as many rushed to Aniston's defence.
"She's stunning," one argued, with another clapping back: "[She's] gorgeous. Been crushing on her since the 90s."
Aniston's locks have long been the stuff of legend, with her famed 'The Rachel' cut - her shaggy, honey-toned bob with face-framing layers - on the early seasons of Friends cementing her as an icon in the hair industry. The 'do became a staple of the '90s and an international sensation, as women rushed to recreate it.
In more recent times, Aniston's beachy, tousled waves and sun-kissed, golden 'bronde' colour have been a source of inspiration for many. Speaking to Vogue, her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan and colourist Michael Canalé broke down how to achieve her signature 'California girl' tresses.
"Over time, you can see that I sanded out her hairline, making it brighter to bring out her eyes and warm complexion," Canalé told the outlet. For natural brunettes wanting to recreate a similar look, he recommends steadily going bronde - brown-and-blonde - before going full-throttle blonde. Once you've achieved a solid base, use "colour bathe" (as Canalé calls it) to create dimension.
"As you add highlights, you deepen the root," he told Vogue. "It's not so much shadowing, as it is adding a 'glisten' look at the root that goes into the bright ends."
