Whether you've already got a shorter cut (and you're looking for ways to spice it up) or you're about to have a major hair overhaul, let us introduce you – or, perhaps, re-introduce you – to the choppy bob. Popularised in the 90s, thanks to Jennifer Aniston's iconic 'The Rachel' cut on Friends, the choppy bob is once again back in the spotlight, taking over our social media feeds and appearing on the likes of Hailey Bieber, Jenna Ortega, Yara Shahidi, Emma Myers and more. Leaning towards getting one yourself? We don't blame you! Here's everything you need to know about the choppy bob haircut, including how to style the soon-to-be everywhere look, according to expert Ryan Forsythe at Trevor Sorbie. Plus, scroll on for 17 inspiring choppy bob styles to suit all face shapes and hair types... "A choppy bob is a textured, layered take on the classic bob, with deliberately uneven or piece-y ends that create movement and an effortless, tousled look," says Forsythe, artistic education director at Trevor Sorbie, a multi-award-winning hair salon and hairdressers in London. "A choppy bob is designed to feel modern, a little edgy and low-maintenance," he continues. "A choppy bob style suits a variety of face shapes," the expert tells us, before adding that it works "especially well" on oval and heart-shaped faces because "the texture softens the features and adds balance". As for which hair types work well with a choppy bob, according to Forsythe, this hairstyle is ideal for "straight to wavy hair types". That's because "these textures help show off the layers and natural movement." What's more, the expert explains that fine hair benefits from a choppy bob, too. "The choppiness can create the illusion of volume," he says. "The best way to style a choppy bob is to enhance its natural texture," Forsythe advises. As for how to do that, the expert says to use "sea salt sprays, light mousses or texturising creams, followed by a rough blow dry or air dry." "A quick bend with straighteners or curling irons can add definition to the layers," he notes, adding: "Finishing with a wax/texture spray will really bring the style to life." Happy (choppy) bobbing!

Jennifer Aniston's Face-Framing Layers Are 2025's Version of 'The Rachel'
The updated style is a new take on the 90s Gist Jennifer Aniston revived her iconic Friends hairdo with a modern twist. She wore a curve cut in her latest Instagram video. Aniston popularized a choppy layered bob called "The Rachel" in the ' Aniston gave "The Rachel" a modern update on Sunday as she celebrated the launch of her hair care brand LolaVie's latest release. "Our Dry Shampoo just dropped 🩶 … and IT'S SO GOOD! I hope you love too! 🥰 @lolavie," Aniston wrote in the caption of her latest Instagram post. In the clip, the Friends star dons a trendy curve cut, a longer version of her iconic '90s-era lob. 'The curve cut, also known as the C-cut, is a layered haircut where the shortest layers frame the face, and the remaining layers become longer as they reach the back of the hair, which, in turn, creates a curve that resembles a C-shape,' hairstylist Annagjid 'Kee' Taylor told InStyle in 2023. At its core, 'The Rachel' is all about flippy sections styled round, a softer approach for severe layers. The contemporary curve cut (which is typically a touch longer than its prototype) has found fans in tastemakers like Hailey Bieber, Laura Harrier, and Lucy Hale. The cut is so flattering because it can work on so many hair types and can really frame the face to accentuate your facial features,' Taylor said. Earlier this year, Aniston celebrated her 56th birthday with a never-before-seen throwback photo. In the snapshot, the young star sassily posed with her head tilted to the side, as she fixed her hair with one hand and wore a patterned skirt and dark-colored tank top. And while her hair at the time wasn't exactly "The Rachel" cut everyone knows and loves today, Aniston still was sporting a head full of layered locks complete with bangs. "Thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes! This kid is feeling very grateful and very loved," Aniston wrote alongside the black-and-white photo on Instagram.

'There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness.

Ironically, three quarters of Gen Z (75 per cent) and Millennials (76 per cent) feel nostalgic for the 90s, despite many of them being too young to fully experience the decade first-hand. In contrast, fewer than two in 10 Boomers (19 per cent) say they feel the same, despite living through it as adults. Almost nine in 10 (87 per cent) Gen Zs and 82 per cent of Millennials would also jump at the chance to revisit the 90s for one night to soak up the fashion and culture. There were also some key trends that appealed to the younger demographic in particular – with a fifth of Gen Zs big fans of the space buns and the YTK aesthetic (22 per cent). Whereas Millennials were found to be number one fans of the curtain hairstyle (18 per cent) and rave wear (17 per cent), according to data. And despite agreeing Diana's revenge dress couldn't be beaten, other top fashion moments for Gen Zs were Victoria Beckham's little black dress, Kate Moss's grunge look, and Naomi Campbell's metallic mini dress. When asked who most embodies 90s style today, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Rihanna took the top spots as beacons of this iconic decade. To mark the launch of the Apple Sour Martini, FUNKIN COCKTAILS has teamed up with London based hairdresser, Duck & Dry to offer free 90s hairstyles alongside a trial of the canned Nitro cocktail. Ashley added: 'It's clear that the whole culture of the 90s is still considered unapologetically iconic and we wanted to deliver the perfect cocktail to match that vibe – as well as helping people level up their 90s aesthetic.'
