Jennifer Aniston: 'The Rachel' 'Was The Ugliest Haircut I've Ever Seen' (POLL)

First Posted: 01/18/2011 8:28 am Updated: 05/25/2011 6:25 pm

"The Rachel" haircut is as synonymous with the '90s as Bell Biv Devoe and Color Me Badd. But what does Jennifer Aniston, the original owner, think of her "Friends"-era crop? "I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," she tells Allure in their February issue.

How embarrassing for the thousands of copycats.

Here's what she said when asked about her famous hair:

Have there been disasters? I think that's a very relative term with hair. Let's say there have been moments I'd rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing. I love Chris [McMillan, her hairstylist], and he's the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen. What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs? Let's just say I'm not a fan of short, layered cuts on my personally, so I don't love revisiting that particular era.

Quick Poll

Do you think "The Rachel" is the ugliest haircut ever?

Hell yes.

No...I still have mine!

Ugly, but ugliest? Not quite.

No haircut...no career. It's what made her famous, otherwise she'd be Lisa Kudrow, only without her talent.

Actually, "The Rachel." was a good look for Jennifer, I see how it softened her facial structure, which is a bit square in chin/ jawline.. Jennifer.. you seem to be wayy obsessed with your looks, body, being photographed dating other actors, musicians.. just go away for a while.. all this need for validation from Public, is unbecoming of you.. Please , find a great Character part in an Independant Film. I don't dislike you..! but find something important' to fight for. ok?

Obsessed? What do you expect? She makes her living in large part based on her looks. Get real.

Totally Agree.. But she is a pretty good actress, and would like to see hwer, one time, little, to no makeup.. and get a serious part. like other actresses, that are not cookie cutter.

Jennifer, that haircut made your career. Frankly, you never looked better.

My thoughts exactly. Don't bite the hand that feeds you Jen...

I like the "rachel" better than the boring style she wears now.

Jen
 
Let's cut the nonsense.
 
Isn't it time you and I dropped the facade and faced our feelings for each other?
 
You need a man to love you.
 
 I am that man.
 
I need a woman to love me.
 
You can be that man....no wait...I meant "woman" and...damn, I've messed it up.

If it was so ugly, why did she wear it for so long?
09:57 PM on 01/19/2011
Because that was what was chosen for her character, that's why. She's an actor. They pretend, they dress as told, someone does the hair and makeup for them. It's show business.

It was a little poofy. She's very pretty, though, could totally pull it off.
She reminds me of my little sister meets Barbara Streisand.

I don't like the fact that she looks like Jenny Mcarthy on the cover....ew.
11:22 AM on 01/19/2011
I thought she looked like Jenny McCarthy too, thought it was until I saw JA listed. I think Jenny is pretty but for Jennifer to steal a "face" that’s just bizarre!

I thought she looks like Shauna Sand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shauna_Sand
Weird, because she looks prettier with her own face.

She had no upper lip in the photo with the "Rachel" haircut, and on the cover of Allure she has an upper lip.
