"The new Rachel"...
09 March 2015 by Will Eagles
Twenty years on and decades of hair experimenting later- have we finally found a new cut to rival Jennifer Anistons “Rachel” cut?…
Whether you loved it or hated it there was only one haircut that defined the 90’s and it had every hairdressers scissors in overdrive. Jennifer Anistons character on hit sitcom Friends had her her cut into a flicked out, layered cut and “The Rachel” was born… It was copied all over the world and it has gone down as one of the most iconic haircuts of all time. So you’ve guessed it, Rachel has made a come back but this time the nineties vibe is out and a fresh new update has landed… Think a cool, casual, long crop aka “The LOB” (long bob) is the new cool and we are seeing an anti-long hair movement among out favourite celebrities.
A-listers opting for The LOB are Sienna Miller, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Brooklyn Decker, Alexa Chung, Rosamund Pike and supermodel supremo Jourdan Dunn who have all joined this new hair club and after years of long hair this new cut feels fresh. Ask your stylist for sharp, neat lines of a classic bob in varying lengths from collar bone to just below jaw length working in a shattered shape, creating a relaxed texture that’s easy to wear…
The basis of this haircut that stops it from looking like a classic bob is the edgy textured undercut (undercut to create height and texture, so don’t panic it’s not a clippered undercut) and it works better with either a grown out fringe or better still no fringe at all!!
