According to Google, one of the most popular haircuts of all time is—naturally!—‘The Rachel’ (Jennifer Aniston’s signature Friends style, circa 1995). Although fifteen years has passed since Aniston made this look a hit for woman of all ages, the cut—a modified shag—still ranks near the top of the list. Why? Because shoulder-length, layered hair is universally flattering—whether you’re 16 or 65! What’s more, it’s low maintenance, since the length allows for pulling the hair up on more relaxed days, keeping styling to a minimum. The question is: Is the look dated? I say, no. Over the years ‘The Rachel’ has morphed from full and bouncy to sleek and straight and—even—curly. To make it modern now, just ask your stylist to add some razored texture or cute choppy bangs. The possibilities are endless!
