We Found A $12 Dupe For Jennifer Aniston’s Favourite Hair Product

Jennifer Aniston’s hair first grabbed our attention when she graced television screens as Rachel Green in Friends, and her trend-inspiring strands are still influencing our seasonal hair colour forecasts 30 years later.

But after poring over Jennifer’s hair care routine it quickly became evident that if we want the kind of mane that can inspire global phenomena, we’d either need to get our hands on the actress’ hair care brand Lolavie, or find dupes for the US-exclusive brand here in Australia. Naturally, being resourceful, we opted for the latter.

Although, even we’ll admit, we found it difficult finding products that manage to simultaneously incorporate scientific evidence and natural ingredients with the same dedication as Lolavie — hats off to you there, Jennifer. However, while we wait for Lolavie’s global expansion, there’s no harm in searching for alternatives we can shop in Australia that promise similar results.

Ahead, beautyheaven shares nine dupes for Lolavie Haircare products that you can buy right here in Australia.

The Best Lolavie Dupes To Buy In Australia

Lolavie Peptide Plumping Volume Spray dupe

Jennifer was recently spotted in the chair of celebrity hairstylist, long time friend and the creator of ‘The Rachel’, Chris McMillan, listing all the reasons why she loves this volumising product. “It’s awesome, and it lasts, and it doesn’t feel sticky or crunchy,” Jennifer gushed via Instagram. According to Chris, it has a grit that makes the hair feel ‘plump’, which immediately made us think of this affordable option from L’Oréal — it uses hydrating hyaluronic acid to thicken dehydrated and fine hair.

Lolavie Glossing Detangler dupe

This multi-tasker from Lolavie does a lot (read: it’s an anti-frizz detangler, heat protectant, and shine-enhancing hydrating treatment), but guess what? So is Nak’s Hydrate Detangle Mist. The weightless formula has been infused with coconut oil, aloe vera, hydrolysed rice protein, and pear extract to hydrate, nourish, and promote shine. It also improves strength, elasticity, and styling manageability.

Lolavie Lightweight Hair Oil dupe

We’re always a little suspect of hair oil — so many formulas on the market are just too greasy for our liking. But if you’re looking for the same lightweight finish Lolavie’s entry in the category promises, you need look no further than your local Aesop store. Surprisingly, the Australian-born brand’s hair and beard oil share a number of the same ingredients as the American export including olive and sunflower oil. However, unlike Lolavie, which uses predominantly apricot oil, coconut alkanes and coconut oil, Aesop has spread the love around. It’s main ingredient is essential fatty acid rich borage seed oil, which is supported by jojoba, grape, avocado, sweet almond, bergamot and jasmine oils.

Lolavie Sculpting Paste dupe

Jennifer Aniston describes this styling paste as a last-minute set to your hair, like a period at the end of a sentence. In other words, if you find that the flyaways at your roots require smoothing, and your lengths and ends need a bit of definition and texture you should finish your hair styling routine with something like this. Enter: Fekkai’s Shea Butter Gel Crème, which was designed with curl definition in mind, however that doesn’t mean all hair types can’t benefit from it’s frizz-smoothing properties. The best part? It’s non-sticky, doesn’t flake, and it won’t dry out your hair. Plus, it’s fragranced with notes of toffee, gardenia, and citrus — yum.

Lolavie Perfecting Leave-In dupe

Love the iconic blow out Jennifer Aniston and Chris McMillan have made their signature? According to the Lolavie founder, this leave in treatment is the base of said look. While Lolavie uses nourishing squalane and humectant glycerin to smooth frizz and soften strands, Aveda opts for a fruit salad of fruit butters, oils and extracts to deeply moisturise the hair prior to heat styling. We would recommend using a small amount of Aveda focused on the lengths and ends (or even watering it down with detangler) if you have fine or thin hair to avoid greasy-looking strands though.

Lolavie Intensive Repair Treatment dupe

Lolavie uses peptides and botanical extracts to minimise damage, and restore shine and softness. But if you want to avoid the often crunchy aftermath associated with bond repair treatments like Olaplex, we’d recommend reaching for this pick from Ceremonia, which uses ingredients inspired by traditional Latin American hair care. There’s safflower extract and tamarind for enhanced shine and hydration, avocado to strengthen, repair and smooth frizz, humectant agave extract, and butterfly ginger extract for silky, lustrous locks.

Lolavie Exfoliate & Detox Scalp Shampoo dupe

Like the look of Lolavie Exfoliate & Detox Scalp Shampoo (USD$39 from Lolavie)? Try Drybar On The Rocks Clarifying Charcoal Shampoo ($45.95 from Price Attack)

We love that Jen has included a charcoal and AHA-enriched detox shampoo in the Lolavie line up. It’s a product that can improve the overall feel and appearance of hair when it’s looking especially dull and dehydrated by purifying the scalp and roots of the hair. We like this pick from Drybar as an alternative, because it also includes charcoal, as well as sebum-regulating sage leaf extract.

Lolavie Restorative Shampoo dupe

Like the look of Lolavie Restorative Shampoo (USD$31 from Lolavie)? Try Nioxin System 3 Cleanser Shampoo ($27 from Oz Hair & Beauty)

We were very surprised when we discovered that Lolavie’s shampoo shared a number of ingredients with Nioxin, but we’re not mad about it. “When I’m filming, I have to wash my hair almost every day,” Jennifer explained via the Lolavie website. “Doing so can strip away essential moisture and oils, so I challenged us to create a system that was going to strengthen hair with every wash.” Both shampoos aim to restore hair and scalp health by improving moisture levels, and the overall resilience of the hair.

Lolavie Restorative Conditioner dupe

Like the look of Lolavie Restorative Conditioner (USD$31 from Lolavie)? Try Nioxin System 3 Scalp Therapy Revitalizing Conditioner ($33 from Oz Hair & Beauty)

The Lolavie Restorative Conditioner enhances the fortifying properties of Lolavie’s aforementioned shampoo, and this contender from Nioxin is no different. It uses a blend of peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and biotin to moisturise and revitalise the hair and scalp. While Lolavie relies on a keratin complex, botanical extracts from coconut, jackfruit and orange, and chia seeds to do the same.
