The reigning monarch of 'the Rachel' haircut (and the founder and face of it), Jennifer Aniston, is making a case for a brand new, re-imagined version of the style. Enter: The one where she got the 'curve cut'.
In a recent Instagram video post, Jen revealed a brand new product drop from her very own haircare brand, LolaVie – which we, of course, are excited to try. "Our Dry Shampoo just dropped 🩶… and IT’S SO GOOD! I hope you love too! 🥰 @lolavie," she wrote to caption her post.
That said, it wasn't the dry shampoo that had us catching flies (read: our jaws were on the floor), but her freshly chopped hairstyle. The longer, yet still very much layered style is giving Friends 'season 6'.
Style-wise, said layers curve inward, making for the infamous curve cut (also known as the 'C cut'), which was first imagined in 2023. This is a hybrid style that combines the best elements of various looks. Think: the layers of a more refined, tamed wolf cut, but with the feathery aspect of the iconic 'Rachel'. Aka, lots of 90s flippy ends.
And the best part? It's so versatile! The curve cut can be tailored to different hair lengths and textures, from bobs to longer styles. Plus, it requires minimal styling thanks to its layers that naturally frame the face.
So, if you're seeking a re-upped, low-maintenance haircut for summer 2025, why not follow in Jen's footsteps with this very look?! After all, she is a certified trendsetter.
