Jennifer Aniston's Rachel 'Do is Most Requested Hairstyle

When it comes to hair, British women get by with a little help from their "Friends."

A new poll by Goody ranked Jennifer Aniston's "The Rachel" cut as the most requested hairstyle of all time, with nearly 11 million women requesting the bouncy layered 'do, the Daily Express reports.

Er... guilty as charged.

The hair equivalent of the Awesome Blossom wasn't the only celebrity 'do to make an impression. Meg Ryan's choppy shag came in second place, with a third of respondents giving it a go, according to the paper.

Sheesh. Again, guilty as charged.

Singer and TV personality Dannii Minogue's brunette bob, Victoria Beckham's pob cut, Princess Diana's short 'do and Farrah Fawcett's feathered flip also reportedly took top marks in the poll of 3,000 women.

"It's no secret that many women take inspiration from celebrities when it comes to their appearance," Rose-Marie Jarvis of Goody told the paper.

"For women, hair is our most creative fashion accessory."

No kidding. Just ask Lady Gaga... or that hedgehog that used to sit on Kate Gosselin's head.

Have you had a dalliance with "The Rachel" or any of these other influential hairstyles? Leave a comment.

Meanwhile, check out Gwen Stefani's new 'do.

I actually still love the Rachel. It's bouncy and fun. I love layers and it wouldn't be hard to create a retro look, her classic 90's look or a modern look. :)

Yet another shameless plug for the boring one. Come on ...this hairstyle is over 10 years old! Give us an even longer break from hearing about this wimpy, boring, no talent, has been that never was!

Just give me the Sinead O'Connor haircut and I won't worry about shampoo. Of course, I'll look like an incandescent light bulb....

Wear your hair the way YOU want.Life it too short to be so worried needlessly about stupid things.Better what is under the hair. Everything else will fall into place. : ~ )

katieb: I'm sorry. DO I KNOW YOU? I guess it's just too much to expect that a nobody like myself would have heard of such a talented soul like you.

But speaking of wimpy: can someone think of a bigger bore than someone who attacks a stranger (because just because you watch someone on a TV show doesn't mean you know that person intimately....it's called "acting"....) on a posting board about hair styles?

Yawn. You make me want a nap.

Her hair always looked like that when she was with JM. Always showing off her special talents with the guitar king.

Was that really JAnniston replying? Also who cares about hairstlyes basically they have been the same for 10 years, long straight and boaring. What are we to do when we reach 50 and have to cut it all off yikes. As for the rude comment you wish you had annistons fortune, fame, and lifestyle seems pretty sweet to me.

I'm probably older than most who have commented. The Dorothy Hamil cut and style was the only one I went with and loved it. I'm now 60 and frequently find myself doing some kind of variation of that haircut. It's easy and looks pretty darn good too.

katie, sounds like a little jealousy going on there miss nobody .because thats exactly what you are . Jennifer is the HOTTEST actress out there , and she is naturally pretty . She doesn't need a ton of makup like that fake Anjo.... well I won't go there .she is also very tallented when it comes to her acting , it always seems like it is the women that attacks her on these message boards , and that only means one thing , jealousy.by the way what movie are you staring in next Katie ??

I think if anyone had actually kept track, the Farrah and the Dorothy Hamil would have outnumbered the Jennifer by a long shot. Plus, they were actual hair cuts, not just long, straight stringy hair.

Farrah's hairsyle was the most requested of all time. She was emulated more than virtually any other celebrity. Long, straight hair with a blunt cut, shiny with body is probably the most sought after style around the globe. Women of all races, etc., like that over all else.
