Shop Famed hairstylist Chris McMillan just launched his eponymous hair care line at Sephora, and it has all that you need to give your strands a salon-worthy refreshAmong those were Jennifer Aniston's era-defining Rachel cut on Friends and Leslie Bibb's iconic blunt bob in The White Lotus. McMillan also created Kim Kardashian's luxe wedding look.It's clear he loves what he does, and it only made sense that he would eventually launch an eponymous hair care line at Sephora. We recently sat down with McMillan to discuss all things fabulous hair, including the quick fix that works every single time.Ask him about The Rachel, which may well be the most requested haircut in the history of salons, and he'll tell you that he wasn't really thinking about it when the magic happened.'You never know what's going to hit,' he confessed. 'The haircut isn't the thought. The process for the Rachel and the CLB are just corrective cuts for what they have going on in that moment. It's all a process. Solution-oriented cuts.'McMillan also had some invaluable advice for those of us struggling to bridge the gap between our salon results and what we can achieve at home.'Slow down when doing your own hair,' he advised. "It all starts with a proper shampoo. Section your hair and take your time. Use the right products. Have fun with it. Take time doing your hair like you did when you were in high school.' The Glassy Smooth Hair Oil leaves strands completely smooth, glossy, and frizz-free, and is so effective some shoppers have called it the 'best hair oil on the market'He takes a similar approach to essential routines, stressing that maintenance is really everything. 'Be consistent with your hair like you are with your nails and skin. Get a trim every four to eight weeks.'In between, he recommends a heat protectant as a non-negotiable, noting that his own Glassy Smooth Blow Dry Spray and Glassy Smooth Hair Oil can help anyone achieve beautiful hair.That's true even on those mornings when time is short and hair just isn't cooperating. His failsafe suggestion: 'A slick back is always a quick and easy solution that still leaves you looking put together. Use the wand for those bed-head flyaways!'Even if hiring a stylist to the stars is a little bit out of reach, it's easier than ever to get a luxe look at home thanks to Chris McMillan's new line. They could mean the difference between so-so strands and a truly great hair day.
