Lindsay Lohan is making the most of nostalgia with her new Nexus Style Swap Hair campaign, channeling her familiar look (and British accent) from the 1998 hit movie The Parent Trap.
Ahead of the campaign’s launch, we interviewed the actor to talk about hair care, her role in the upcoming Freaky Friday, and her biggest beauty regret.
The theme of this campaign is nostalgia. What beauty products or trends do you remember fondly or fondly from your teenage years?
For me, the products that I always remember and remember are the perfumes I had when I was a teenager. Like Dior Hypnotique Poison.

At Nexxus, we value healthy hair and repair, and you’ve been experimenting with hair colors and styles over the years. So how do you keep your hair healthy these days?
I love Nexus hair oil. I think that’s important. When you’re on the go and using a lot of products on your hair, you’ll want to reapply something to nourish your hair. That’s what I’m currently using. I try not to blow dry my hair too often unless I have to. I feel like washing my hair every day dries it out, so I try not to.
Do you use hair oil while styling or overnight?
I usually have to get up and go out, so I don’t do it all night. I’m always on the go, so I often use it when styling.

Who is the person whose hair you always look up to or look to for hair inspiration?
I think I always grew up like Julia Roberts because I could relate to her as a redhead. And Julianne Moore. I think it’s about red hair. I have always loved my hair color and admired and admired them. When I was young and in school, people sometimes made fun of me for having freckles, especially when I was growing up. So I had to emulate others who were older and had gotten through that stage.

In The Parent Trap, hair accessories were a big part of your look, from headbands to cute sunglasses on your head. Still love hair accessories? Or keep things simple?
No, I like hair accessories. I love bows and headbands when they work, right? The other day I was feeling very Clueless, like Alicia Silverstone, so I tried wearing a headband. But you need to find a way to make it work. Because I love headbands.
I also love headbands. It makes your hair feel styled even if the rest of your hair is unwashed.
I mean, I love wearing headbands from time to time, but then I’m always worried that my hair will end up flattened.
A little dry shampoo will solve the problem! Do you have any advice for Gen Z or Gen Alpha about following beauty trends? They seem to take things very seriously, even though side bangs were never really an outing.
I think each of her own, her own. I think everyone should do what they feel comfortable doing. So, if you want to follow the trends that you feel right now, I think it’s best to always choose what makes you happy. you!
Have you ever regretted following beauty trends in the past?
Yeah, when I said, “Oh, I want my lips to be bigger.”

I think we’ve all experienced that. And Freaky Friday is back. Tell us about a beautiful moment in the new film.
There’s a lot of fashion in this movie and it’s a lot of fun. I’m really excited to share this film with the world. It’s a really great movie. I really enjoy the fashion in movies.
I’m really looking forward to seeing it. I mean, your hair in that movie, especially the hair color but also the cut, is so iconic. Do you remember that style fondly?
I might, but my colorist, Tracy Cunningham, doesn’t. She says, “Remember when you made me put white stripes in my hair?”
Is the idea for the character yours?
Well, at the time I wanted her to be a little more punk rock like Avril Lavigne. That’s where I used to go with Ana in a locker atmosphere. So I wanted to make some changes regarding my hair. When you make a movie, your hair is a big part of the character you play, and that goes for the costumes and everything else. I think hair says a lot about how a character looks, what they say, and how they portray themselves.
And it’s memorable. It’s the same way people wear their hair when they dress up for Halloween. I have a two-year-old and I know how much being a mother changes your perspective on beauty. How has becoming a mother changed your hair, makeup, and skin habits?
A lot has changed. You need to find clean products because your hormones and everything changes. And the big thing for me was that wake-up call. Why am I using products that shouldn’t be used during pregnancy when I’m not pregnant? During pregnancy, you don’t want to apply anything that shouldn’t be used on your skin. If it shouldn’t have been used then, it shouldn’t be used now. So I keep things very basic. I use zinc cream and skin and wash. I love cryofacials. I can’t say I like doing whole facials. I like catching a cold. I love applying the patch under my eyes and just take time in the morning to apply it. Take some time for me and let’s have some tea. I think that’s important because just having a ritual with your skin allows moms to have some “me” time. That has become the most important ritual for me.
I don’t have enough time so I’ll do it quickly…
As I’ve grown into myself and experienced age and everything else, I feel like less is more and I’ve started to embrace my skin more.
Hair often reflects the stage of life we are currently in. How do you think your current hairstyle reflects who you are today?
Fresh and free.
You’re blonde!
When I was getting my hair done earlier, I thought to myself, “You look really pretty today.” Therefore, it looks quite light.
I went between red and blonde, red and blonde. How do you decide when you want to change the color?
There’s just that switch. And sometimes I want a natural, deep red. And as the years passed, my hair turned a darker red. It’s not an orangey red like before. So I kind of go deeper and then aim for something fresh. I just want it to be lighter and brighter. And this is, I think the problem is, when you start lightening up like a little blonde, you get that itch and you think, “Okay, I want to be a little blonde.”
Healthy hair requires more than just the products you use to cleanse and style. So, what other healthy habits do you do in your daily life that have the biggest impact on the health of your hair and skin?
I think biotin always works. Taking biotin and vitamins — I don’t take too many hair vitamins because I don’t like overdosing. I think the most important thing is to wear a mask as much as possible and give your hair a break. I try not to add too much color. For example, if you’re going to go light blonde, give it a make-up, leave it alone, and let it go back to natural for a while. meanwhile.
What did you like most about creating the new Style Swap video campaign and what did you like most about stepping back into these characters?
The most unusual and fun thing for me was adding a British accent. It was a last-minute decision, so I was on a bit of a whim, and I thought, “Maybe I should just keep my British accent?”
I think it went very well. In other words, they sold the character. I thought, “Oh, you’re back again.”
