Mariah Carey’s “Rachel” haircut, inspired by the television show Friends, has gold-star approval from Jennifer Aniston herself.
“A sad attempt at the Rachel hairdo,” the 51-year-old Grammy winner wrote on Instagram Friday, following the Friends reunion special which aired on HBO Max. Carey’s photo, which caught Aniston’s eye, depicted her at the microphone, her hair styled with a headband. “LOVE IT,” wrote the 52-year-old actress who played Rachel Green on the sitcom.
In the early season of Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2004, Aniston’s character rocked a layered look created by hair guru Chris McMillan that inspired salon copycat cuts.
However, in 2015, Aniston revealed that she actually disliked the iconic trim, even by her favorite stylist. “I was not a fan of the ‘Rachel,'” she told Glamour. “That was kind of cringe-y for me. Looking back—honestly, even during that time—I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed Chris attached to my hip. Left to my own devices, I am not skilled with a hairbrush and blow-dryer.”
