Jennifer Aniston has had several hairstyles and all of them looked stunningly great on her. But the hairstyle she is known by is the one she sported in the famous television show “Friends”. She played the character of Rachel Green with shoulder length layered hair.
Both the character of Rachel Green and her haircut became so popular that very soon that particular haircut acquired the name of ‘Rachel’.

The ‘Rachel haircut’ was almost like a rage during the 1996-1997(period when Friends was shown on television). Originally styled by John Barret, almost every salon, from posh hair dressers to ordinary salons specialized in this Jennifer Aniston hairstyle.

This particular hairstyle has a timeless appeal about it. It can look great with modern outfit as well. Although almost 14 years have lapsed since its first telecast, you can still spot one or two in a party sporting a variation of the ‘Rachel haircut’.

The basic things that make this hairstyle so popular are its simplicity and its several layers which tend to flatter the face. Before styling your hair always condition your hair properly.

If you notice then you will realize that Jennifer Aniston has very naturally silky soft hair. So if your hair is dry then use a deep conditioner or leave-in conditioner for a perfect soft finish.

The hair has to have long layer on the top and shorter layers towards the bottom. The longer layers on the top will give a smooth fall. While the shorter layers at the bottom will give the much required bounce.

You can use a hot iron to make the longer layers smother so that they gently fall against your face, complementing it in the process. You also need to curve the lower shafts of hair inward for a curvier look. Side parting will be better than a middle parting for this kind of hairstyle.

This hairstyle does not require much of hair gel or styling gel. The beauty of it is to let your hair flow and flatter your face each time you nod or move your head, just the way Jennifer Aniston did. Finally you can finish the hairstyle with a dash of hair shine spray.

And you are ready to rock the party with the most popular Jennifer Aniston hairstyle.
