A Timeless Transformation
Jennifer Aniston stole the show at the 2024 Golden Globes as she brought back the iconic ‘Rachel cut’ – a late 90’s cut which has influenced the current trending hairstyles from the butterfly cut to the c shape cut. With 47.5 million hashtags for #rachelgreenhair, it’s fair to say fans are obsessed.
Bringing it bang up-to-date, Aniston’s fresh haircut fell just below the collarbones, with soft layers enhancing body and lift.

The 90’s Rachel Haircut
Rachel Green's signature hairstyle, “The Rachel” became a global phenomenon in the ‘90s and ever since. The unexpected transformation at the year’s Golden Globes perfectly highlighted her flawless bone structure while simultaneously exuding an air of confidence and sophistication.

The “Rachel 2.0” Haircut
The #RachelHaircut has already gained over 8 million views on TikTok and Aniston’s modern take – a more lived-in, choppier cut is bound to inspire many and become one of the big hair trends of 2024
Laura Elliott, head stylist and educator here at Neäl & Wølf comments: “I expect the Rachel cut 2.0 to inspire a fair share of copycats, it’s an ideal haircut for those wanting to freshen up their style but not sacrifice too much length. Jennifer has opted for shorter, choppy layers that fall flatteringly around the face but you can personalise the cut to suit your face shape.

For those who have been influenced by Jennifer's iconic “Rachel Cut”, always seek professional expertise, and don’t attempt to cut it yourself at home. Laura says “Before making the chop it is important to decide where you want the shortest layer to fall on your face as this will affect your desired look.
Pro Styling Tips
We’d recommend starting by thoroughly cleansing and conditioning hair - Lather, rinse and repeat! Choose a shampoo and conditioner depending on your hair type. Neal & Wolf offers collections to suit everyone’s hair needs; from Moisture to Repair; Blonde to Volumising, explore the full range of shampoos and conditioners
When it comes to styling the Rachel cut, you can either let your hair air dry or blow dry it out. To create more volume we suggest blow drying, lifting the hair up and finishing with a texturizing spray. If you want to accentuate your layers, I would recommend styling with a volumising mousse, try Neäl & Wølf Enhance Volumising Mousse which enhances body and shine.
And that shine?
We recommend a lightweight hair oil, through mids and ends, we’d recommend Velvet Nourishing Hair Oil to nourish stands and add shine.
