Few haircuts have defined an era quite like ‘The Rachel’. First made famous by Jennifer Aniston during the early seasons of Friends, the layered, face-framing cut quickly became one of the most recognisable styles of the ’90s.
Fast forward to today, and it continues to inspire the 2025 hair trends. In a video shared to Instagram to spotlight her LolaVie dry shampoo, the actress appears to be revisiting her most famous look. Her hair, still long and glossy, is softly layered through the front with subtle movement and shape – a more polished, grown-up take on the classic original.
The cut, that's often dubbed the “curve cut” or “everything cut”, is characterised by blended, jaw-grazing layers that curl inwards in a soft C-shape. And while it still nods to the past, this version feels lighter, sleeker and infinitely more wearable.
