"Rachel" haircut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Rachel" is a haircut that was a layered shag hairstyle with straightened hair worn by Jennifer Aniston in the 1990s sitcom Friends and named after her character, Rachel Green. The style is claimed to have been created by Aniston's hairstylist, Chris McMillan. The Rachel became wildly popular among young women and was copied the world over, becoming the 1990s equivalent of Farrah Fawcett's 1970s "flip." Despite the fact that Aniston only wore that particular hairstyle during the show's first two seasons (at the beginning of the third season, she switched to a more traditional long-haired look), it has become indelibly associated with the character. In the second season episode "The One With the Lesbian Wedding", Rachel bemoans the fact that her mother (Marlo Thomas) is trying to pattern her own life after hers, lamenting, "Couldn't she just copy my haircut?".
