50+ of Jennifer Aniston's Greatest Hairstyles

From the moment Jennifer Aniston graced our screens with 'The Rachel' on Friends, she's been setting hair trends. There are her go-to beachy waves, short and choppy bobs, and the rare slicked-back pony. In honor of her latest Emmy nomination for The Morning Show, let's relive the complete evolution of Aniston's enviable locks.

When you're ambivalent about your new bangs.

Behold, the first iteration of "The Rachel" from the year that Friends debuted on television.

"I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," Aniston told Allure in 2011 of Rachel Green's polarizing hairstyle.

"It was a really fun cut and different to anything else around at the time. It was an easy cut, but it needed regular trims to keep the layers looking sharp," says hair stylist Chris McMillan of his famous "Rachel" cut.

"It's high-maintenance, not a wash-and-go style. You need to blow-dry with a round brush to help define all those flicks," McMillan adds.

Aniston straightens her layers through the growing out phase.
