Jen: 'Extensions ruined my hair'
As Rachel in Friends, her hair was her crowning glory and sparked millions to imitate her.
But now Jennifer Aniston has revealed that her famous top has become a disaster area - after an ill-advised decision to have hair extensions.
The star, who has already had a hellish few months after husband Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie, admitted that extensions had ruined her hair.
She said her problems started when Friends finished and she decided to chop her famous locks off - and then immediately regretted her decision.
"After Friends I wanted a different look, so I cut my hair. Obviously, I wasn't thinking clearly," she said.
"So I decided to have a couple of extensions, never knowing you end up with 400 things in your head that cause your hair to break off.
"Nothing destroys your hair faster than extensions. It's taken a year and a half to get my hair grown out."
Miss Aniston's comments follow celebrities including Nancy Dell'Olio, Kate Beckinsale and Christina Aguilera all being spotted with temporary bald patches caused by hair extensions.
"Hair extensions are one of the worst possible things you can do to your hair," said trichologist Leonora Doclis of hair specialists The Belgravia Centre.
"Extensions are glued onto your normal hair and they often break off because they are too heavy. Sometimes they break off close to the scalp, giving you a temporary smooth area and at other times they break off about half an inch down."
"Although the damage is usually minimal, sometimes it can be long term. There are also very few occasions in which hair extensions do not cause some sort of damage to your hair.
"I am very against them and advise my clients with thin hair to get a wig rather than hair extensions as they can only cause more damage."
Despite the potential problems, hair extensions are more popular than ever thanks to celebrity fans including Victoria Beckham, Keira Knightley and Peaches Geldof. Demand has doubled in the past three years.
Extensions are made from either real hair or fibre which are woven into the hair and then glued or heat-sealed to stay in place.
The hair extensions were not the only revelation from Miss Aniston, 37, in the interview with American Harper's Bazaar.
Hinting about what went wrong in her marriage with Pitt, she said: "Two people can get lazy, comfortable, and the fantastic things you loved about each other become the things you loathe."

She also talked about her new love Vince Vaughn, who is her co-star in movie The Break Up, saying the pair had an "instant connection".
The star added: "Vince is a fantastic guy, and we're certainly friends, but as for those silly rumours, we're not engaged, not getting at Oprah's, not rushing to have a child."
Pitt and Miss Jolie are, meanwhile, eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child together.
They are expected to have the baby in Namibia, where they have been based for over a month.
