Looking Back at Celebrity Hair Mishaps
Let’s face it—we’ve all had those moments where we look back at old photos and cringe at the hairstyles we once thought were the bee’s knees. Whether it’s the perm that seemed like a good idea at the time or that unfortunate dye job, hair mistakes are something we can all relate to. And guess what? Celebrities are no exception. From over-the-top perms to styles that didn’t quite suit them, even the stars have had their fair share of hair regrets. But here’s the twist: their regrets might not be what you’d expect. Take Jennifer Aniston, for example, whose iconic 'Rachel' hairstyle became a cultural phenomenon—but turns out, she wasn’t exactly a fan of it herself!
Curious to know why Aniston and other celebrities disliked their most famous looks? Keep reading (and watching the video below) to uncover the truth behind their hair regrets.
Jennifer Aniston’s Love-Hate Relationship with ‘The Rachel’
When Jennifer Aniston revealed she didn’t care for the hairstyle that defined the ‘90s, fans were genuinely shocked. After all, 'The Rachel' was a global sensation, inspiring countless women to ask their hairstylists for the same look. But as it turns out, maintaining the style was far from effortless. In 2016, Aniston opened up about the challenges of keeping the iconic look intact.

“I had to see my hairstylist, Chris McMillan, every six weeks to keep this thing going,” she explained. “It was a ‘hairdo,’ and let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt. One of the hardest hairstyles to maintain unless Chris was doing it himself.”
But the upkeep wasn’t the only issue. Aniston also struggled with her thick, full hair, which didn’t always cooperate with the style. “My hair has a mind of its own,” she admitted. “It would take on a shape I didn’t always want. Honestly, I don’t think I looked very good with it.”
Why ‘The Rachel’ Wasn’t Her Favorite
While fans still adore the look, Aniston has a different perspective. “Hairstyles require too much work,” she confessed. “Me, a blow-dryer, and a hairbrush? We were never meant to be together. I look back at Farah Fawcett’s legendary ‘70s hairdo and think, that was beautiful.”
It’s fascinating to see how a style that became so iconic could be viewed so differently by the person who wore it. But hey, that’s the beauty of perspective. What fans loved, Aniston found frustrating. And who can blame her? Maintaining such a high-maintenance style isn’t exactly a walk in the park.
