It’s not an exaggeration to say that Jennifer Aniston’s hair is the stuff of legend. Over the course of her three-decades-long career, the actress has set off a hair craze with a career-making chop, experimented with different cuts in all lengths and styles, and ultimately, cultivated a signature California cool hair code oft coveted (and copied!).
Of course, it all began on the TV show
Friends, where “The Rachel” cut her shaggy, honeyed bob cemented her as the hair icon she is today. That ’90s crop was crafted by none other than her longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan, who sought to help Aniston grow out her bangs with a transformative, editorial-worthy cut. Inspired by a combination of male surfers from his hometown of Manhattan beach, supermodel Beri Smithers and her chin-grazing bob, and the curvy blowouts Garren was giving Amber Valletta at the time, he landed on the style that would put Rachel Green on the map.
