Jennifer Lawrence Admits She Only Washes Her Hair Once a Week
Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about her beauty routine. The Oscar winner’s secret to her effortless-looking style might surprise you.
“I only wash my hair once a week,” The Hunger Games star revealed in an interview with InStyle, where she discussed her new haircare brand, mes.
“If it’s going to be a wash day, then I’ll either sleep in the mask the night before, or I’ll apply it in the morning, and then I will have my morning routine, and then maybe work out, and then I shower, apply the Good Roots spray, and blow it dry,” she continued. “I don’t really use a hot tool anymore. I just apply the restyling serum, and then it has a more natural look to it.”
Lawrence also shared how her approach to her hair has changed over the years.
“I think with age—and also just where I’ve been able to get in my career—I can have more agency, even with clothes, just feeling like I can look more like myself as opposed to somebody else’s doll,” the 36-year-old said. “And also… I love to change my hair, but obviously that sometimes comes with needing to take care of it. [Using other products,] it was always you have to make this choice: Am I going to style my hair, or am I going to treat it? There was never anything that gave me the option of doing both.”
The Silver Linings Playbook actor also said that she was committed to keeping her hair healthy, even though that could be a challenge given the demands of her work.
“I wanted healthy hair!” she said. “It really cannot be overstated, especially if you’re shooting: Your hair is getting blow-dried every day; there are hot tools on it every single day. I mean, one time I had a screen test for something, and they dyed my hair red, brown, black, and platinum blonde in the same day.”
Lawrence has previously complained about having to frequently dye her hair for roles. Nor does she enjoy some other beauty routines.
“I hate getting my hair colored,” she recently told Vogue. “I also hate going to the nail salon. I saw a tweet that was like, ‘It’s like going to the hand dentist.’ It’s not relaxing. It’s not fun. It’s really, really boring. It takes so long.”
She also revealed that she prefers to be cautious when it comes to treatments like Botox, preferring facials instead.
“I can’t really get very much done. I need to have movement in my face—I get baby Botox, but I can’t do a lot,” she said.
Lawrence—who shares two young kids with husband Cooke Maroney—also confessed that washing her hair isn’t the only part of her beauty routine she occasionally skips.
“Sometimes, if I don’t get to washing my face in the morning and I have to run down the stairs, then I put a little olive oil on my face,” she said.
