#13: The “Rachel” Haircut Became a Cultural Phenomenon

In 1995, Jennifer Aniston’s hairstyle on Friends—famously known as “The Rachel”—became a cultural sensation. Created by her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan, the layered, voluminous look was widely imitated and became one of the most iconic hairstyles of the 1990s.

Women worldwide flocked to salons asking for “The Rachel,” making it a defining trend of the decade. Ironically, Jennifer later confessed she disliked the cut and found it challenging to manage.
