As a teen I remember heading to the hairdressers more than once with an image from some trashy magazine of Jennifer Aniston, and asking to have her hair. Or at least a cut the same. The first time I wanted exactly the same look, and walked out looking nothing like Rachel {from friends}.
The second time I tried to adapt the look to my hair and asked for longer layers, and I still left not looking like Jennifer Aniston at all. I was a teen in the 90’s and hairstraighteners didn’t exist. We used to straighten our hair with the old iron… and even then it was a bit of a failure.
Jennifer Aniston has unveiled her new ‘do in Spain. Well, not really unveiled… she basically had it cut and hit the red carpet.
Is it sad that I love it and 15 years since I first walked in with that torn out magazine page to the hairdressers, I want to walk in again with this one? Have you ever tried to copy a celebrity’s hairstyle? Did you ever ask for a ‘Rachel’?
Ah yes! I remember asking for a “Rachel” as a teen too.
I went and got the “Gwyneth”… Gwyneth Paltrow when she was in Sliding Doors. Or a sassy crew cut as I now think of it!
I love Jen and her hair though, she could pull of anything.
I want to chop of my long long locks and sadly (or not!) this could be photo I take in with me 🙂
my hair was never long enough for a rachael… and to be honest, I never liked it!!! i was more of a monica… i had short brown hair just like her.
Of course I have! I'm still guilty. I've taken Jennifer Aniston numerous times for the cut and/or colour, I've asked for the Gwyneth long bob, the short Katie Holmes, the short Michelle Williams… Nothing better than a celebrity 'do'!
i totally asked for the rachel! i thought with my thin yet wavy hair, i could rock it. um… yeah. it wasn't the same! haha… i should find one of those pictures!
