This actress, a regular on the popular TV hit show, Friends, has a hairdo which has spawned millions of look-alikes around the world. What is her name?

Few television shows have influenced pop culture quite like the 1990s sitcom Friends (Review), and no element of the show had a bigger impact on fashion than a particular hairstyle. The actress in question is Jennifer Aniston, who played the character Rachel Green. In the show's early seasons, she sported a bouncy, shoulder-length, layered shag haircut created by stylist Chris McMillan. The look became an instant international phenomenon, and soon, salons everywhere were inundated with requests for "The Rachel."

The haircut's popularity was staggering, quickly becoming the defining hairstyle for millions of women throughout the mid-1990s. It perfectly captured the era's aesthetic and helped cement Aniston's status as a global style icon. The look was so influential that it is still referenced today as one of the most iconic hairstyles in television history.

Ironically, while the world was clamoring for her signature cut, Jennifer Aniston herself has admitted she was not a fan of the look. She found it difficult to style on her own and has referred to it as her "least favorite haircut." Despite her personal feelings, "The Rachel" remains a quintessential symbol of 90s fashion and a testament to the cultural power of a hit TV show.
