"Jennifer Aniston might look like she's never had a bad hair day in her life, but even the actress\u2014and now co-owner of Living Proof\u2014has had her share of nightmare moments. \\\"I was obsessed with Valerie Bertinelli and I took a picture of her into a salon and came out with a mullet,\\\" says Aniston. \\\"That was not a good look for me.\\\" I sat down with Aniston to talk about her famous hair, her best beauty tips, and the contest she's launching today with her hairstylist, Chris McMillan.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n__Do you remember your first haircut?__ \\\"I had really long hair and my mom said, 'You are not allowed to cut this or do anything to your hair until you're 13.' So I had bangs and long hair down to my butt. Of course, I turned 13 and all judgment goes out the window. I learned to stay with what looks good. I'm not a huge risk taker.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Do any hair products bring back strong memories for you?__ \\\"__Aqua Net.__ It reminds me of the Palladium. Bad, bad hair\u2014teased! Oh, and __Aussie Scrunch__ from my '20s. The smell was so yum, but you couldn't brush it for a week.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Where did you get your hair cut when you were younger?__ \\\"Remember Astor Haircuts? Do they still have that on Astor Place? You should have seen the haircuts I had walking out of there.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Once you found Chris McMillan, you became a bit of a hair icon. What has been your favorite cut from him?__ \\\"I loved when Chris cut bangs on me in 2003\\\\. That was a fun haircut. But I was happy when they grew out. They're high-maintenance.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__What's your secret for a good hair day now?__ \\\"Well, a trim is a guarantee for a good hair day\u2014but I usually resist those because I'm so desperately trying to get my hair to grow back from the damn bob [McMillan] gave me.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Have you ever tried any at-home hair treatments?__ \\\"Like mayonnaise in my hair? I did that. That doesn't come out. Ever.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Any other beauty secrets you've picked up over the years?__ \\\"[Vaseline](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2011/vaseline-petroleum-jelly) on your eyes at night. It moisturizes your lashes and the skin around your eyes. Drink water, water, water. Sleep, sleep, sleep. Those are the big beauty tips.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Do you have any hair icons yourself?__ \\\"I always love Kate Moss's hair. And Gisele's. Who doesn't?\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__How did you find Living Proof?__ \\\"They came to me. I was going to North Carolina to shoot *We Are the Millers* in 100 percent humidity. And I jokingly said, 'We'll see if your product is telling the truth or not.'\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Was it?__ \\\"After I used it for a good couple months, the proof was in the pudding. It really did allow me to grow my hair because you don't have to wash it as often. It's a product that means what it says, and I like that.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__You became an investor and not just the face of the brand. Why?__ \\\"I like being involved behind the scenes. Going to MIT and talking to those scientists and seeing the crazy beakers and the tests they do to hair\u2014I love it. It's exciting and more interesting than showing up to a photo shoot\u2014and then you may not even use the product.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __You'll now be involved in product development. Do have any ideas for the brand?__ \\\"I have an idea, but I can't talk about it yet. It has to do with freshness.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\nStarting today, Aniston and McMillan are searching for one woman who deserves the ultimate good hair day.
