While “The Rachel” hairstyle, made famous by Jennifer Aniston’s character in the iconic television series, remains one of the most celebrated and emulated looks of the 1990s, Aniston herself has revealed her disdain for the cut. In a candid interview with Glamour, she admitted, “I was not a fan of ‘The Rachel.’ That was kind of cringe-y for me.”
Here are five lesser-known insights about “The Rachel”:
- Aniston Would Prefer a Clean Shave: During a 2013 appearance on a radio show, when posed the question of whether she would rather shave her head or wear “The Rachel” for eternity, Aniston decisively chose the former. “Shave my hair once, definitely!” she exclaimed.
- She Lacked the Skills to Style It: Aniston confessed to Glamour that she could not replicate the hairstyle on her own. “I needed my hairstylist, who was always by my side. Left to my own devices, I am not skilled with a hairbrush and blow-dryer.”
- The Stylist’s State of Mind: Interestingly, Aniston revealed that her hairstylist, Chris, was not in the best state when he created the haircut. “He was stoned out of his mind when he gave me the haircut,” she shared during an interview with Graham Norton.
- Courtney’s Envy: While Aniston harbored secret resentment towards her famous haircut, her co-star, Courtney, expressed her disappointment that “The Monica” never gained the same popularity. In a September interview, she said, “It kind of bums me out. Why didn’t they like it? We had the same hairdresser!”
- A Missed Opportunity: Had “The Monica” been embraced, fans would have missed out on the cultural phenomenon that “The Rachel” became.
