Big, shoulder-length hair style
“The Rachel” is a hairstyle that became famous because of a character named Rachel Green. Jennifer Aniston played this character in the hit TV show Friends. This hairstyle is a mix of shag and bob haircuts, ending at shoulder length, and it’s designed to frame the face.
Back in 1994, when Friends first aired, fans loved Rachel’s haircut so much that they started asking their hairstylists for the same look. This trend continued through the 90s, until around the end of the show’s third season. After that, its popularity started to fade.
But, like all good things, “The Rachel” made a fantastic return. In the 2020s, as 90s fashion started to become popular again, young people started sporting this hairstyle. They were seen showing off their version of “The Rachel” on social media platforms.
With its return, “The Rachel” has seen some changes. There are now different versions of the original hairstyle, as it has been updated to fit modern trends. But no matter the tweaks, it still keeps the essence of the original look that made it so popular in the first place.
