Jennifer Aniston Wavy Hair

Jennifer Aniston wavy hair photos are not unusual, because the natural texture of this celebrity actress is a mixture of curly and wavy hair.

The pictures in this gallery show Jennifer Aniston wearing long, loose, wavy hair styles at public appearances and awards events.

The days of the signature Jennifer Aniston hair style have been left in the past with Rachel Green and her Friends.

But even here, among these wavy Jennifer Aniston hair styles, you can catch glimpses of the hair style that Jennifer Aniston made famous. The second picture in the middle row, for example, is a Jennifer Aniston wavy hair style that's clearly descended from the iconic Jennifer Aniston look.

This hairdo is parted off center, to her left, sweeps sharply down in a curve that conceals much of her forehead, cheek and jaw, and tucks in beneath the chin.

The shape is almost mirrored on the other side to create a pleasing symmetry, a symmetry which makes us believe that beneath this Jennifer Aniston wavy hair style lies an attractively oval face.

It isn't true, but it's an appealing lie.

Beauty isn't about what we see, after all. It's about what we think we see.

The gallery on that page has several more Jennifer Aniston wavy hair pictures, and other photos of Jennifer Aniston embracing curly hair.

Jennifer Aniston can never completely abandon her most famous haircut, of course. That iconic style worked because it suited the shape of her face.

The same imperatives still exist that guided her hair styling then. When she drifts too far away from those imperatives, even now, she doesn't look quite as good as the Jennifer Aniston we remember.

An example is the third Jennifer Aniston wavy hair picture in the bottom row of our gallery.

In this photo she discards nearly all the Jennifer Aniston hair style imperatives that have served her so well for so long.

Training her hair evenly round her face she reveals the tapering hair line, wide cheeks and sharp jaw which together create the diamond of her true, natural face shape.

You'd think it would make her unattractive.

But there's another function of beauty, too. Not only is it is it the beauty we thought we saw that we remember, but as time passes we improve the image in our minds and graft it onto what we see now.

Jennifer Aniston has this function richly available to her, explicitly because she was a hair style icon and acknowledged woman of beauty.

So even though this Jennifer Aniston wavy hair picture breaks all of her own rules, many people won't see that at all. Fans and contemporaries will look at this photo and see the Jennifer Aniston of their mind's eye, an image refined through years of remembering beauty.
