From \u201cThe Rachel\u201d to the bob that broke the internet, McMillan has shaped some of the most iconic hair moments of our time, proving that the right cut can define an era. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Blueprint<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhen I cut Leslie Bibb\u2019s hair into what became the \u2018C***y Little Bob,\u2019 it became such a moment and encouraged people to take risks with their hair again. Like I always say, \u2018Hair grows back!\u2019 I wanted it super shiny, sleek and frizz-free, so I prepped with The Glassy Smooth Blowdry Spray to smooth the cuticle and add shine, and then I locked it in with The Major Hairspray, flat-ironing each section for a glass-like finish.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trade Secret<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cGet the trim. People think that skipping haircuts helps their hair grow, but regular trims keep it healthy, shiny and full. It\u2019s called maintenance, and everyone needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tool Kit<\/h2>\n<p>Always within arm\u2019s reach? His entire Chris McMillan line. \u201cThey can get me any look I need; I just change up the combination of what I\u2019m using.\u201d He also favors Ibiza Boar Bristle Brushes and the T3 Lucea 1.5\u201d flat iron to keep things sleek.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Rachel Effect<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIt was one of those things that just happened. Jen [Aniston] is such a special person to me, and it all started with that haircut. Timing is everything when it comes to cuts that influence culture. Jen was relatable, the show was massive, and the hair was something people were drawn to. That combination made it iconic, and I\u2019m grateful for every moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Base<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWhen I\u2019m not traveling for work, I\u2019m in my salon [The Chris McMillan Salon in Beverly Hills] cutting 15 clients\u2019 hair a day. I love encouraging them to take risks, embrace change and try something transformational.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Founder Notes<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to create a line, and my clients would ask me all the time why I hadn\u2019t yet. The hair world became overwhelming with too many products and confusing names. I wanted something intuitive; something that reflects what I\u2019ve learned over four decades. I launched my collection in partnership with Sephora to simplify styling and deliver results.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script id=\"11e212685b4237ef528e61442140ad99-1\" type=\"nitropack\/inlinescript\" class=\"nitropack-inline-script\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '1572440699746061'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTiming is everything when it comes to cuts that influe [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
