Jennifer Aniston Hated 'the Rachel' Hairstyle

Before she became embroiled in the greatest love triangle of our time, Jennifer Aniston was famous for acting in a hugely popular NBC sitcom called "Friends." She was even better known for encouraging hundreds of thousands of women to get a multilayered hairstyle that made an entire generation look a little chubbier.

Now Aniston wants to set the record straight. In the February issue of Allure magazine she admits that "the Rachel" was her worst haircut of all time.

"Let's say there have been moments I'd rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing. I love Chris (McMillan, her hairstylist), and he's the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," Aniston admits in the mag. "What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs? Let's just say I'm not a fan of short, layered cuts on me personally, so I don't love revisiting that particular era."

She says the haircut even had possible career repercussions.

"Right before 'Friends,' I got a new manager. She took one look at my hair and said, 'We've got to do something about that.'"

Aniston also waxes poetic about unconditional love, the kind you just can't get from a man these days.

"Really, the most unconditional form of love that you can encounter is with a dog. They're excited the minute you come home, and they show the same amount of excitement every day," she says.

What we were shocked and delighted to learn was Aniston is also obsessed with "The Bachelor."

"You know what I find fascinating? 'The Bachelor.' I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they're weeping as though they've just lost the love of their life. I don't understand that," she says.

Well, Jennifer Anniston may have hated the Haircut but I liked the look of her with it. It made Jennifer a Star. and Now look at her. A Movie Career and the opportunities to do as she pleases. I hope that she is Grateful. As a side note, Everytime I see her on a talk show, she comes across as a really nice person and it makes me like her more.

Hey, I had that haircut! I loved it. I felt super classy, trendy, and hot. I was 14, other girls at school told me I looked like an owl, but I knew they were just jealous they weren't me. LOL
