Pre-Friends, Aniston boasted brunette locks (her natural color) with the '80s most in-demand add-on: bangs, albeit subtle. Not so subtle? Her mane's mega volume.

Superstar stylist Chris McMillan gave Aniston what would become her trademark 'do: The Rachel. After the cut made its debut, it skyrocketed to one of the most popular styles, ever. Just about everyone brought a photo to their stylist, asking for Rachel Green's shoulder-length swingy layers and honey-gold highlights.

At the turn of the century, Aniston grew her hair out long, went lighter in color, and took to the flat iron. The occasion? Her wedding to Pitt.

Feathered Bob

Later that year, she'd surprise us with a huge chop, going from her longest-ever to her shortest-ever cut. The just-below-the-chin bob with wavy texture and feathered ends do wonders for her diamond face shape.

Straight and Bronde

Aniston stepped out in what would become her go-to style for the next decade and went "bronde" before "bronde" was even a thing. She'd wear the blonde and brunette hue long and straight with only a few well-placed face-framing layers, for years to come.

Much like she did with bronde, Aniston set a new trend when she premiered her lob in 2011. In this case, it was slightly longer in the back and tapered up to her signature face-framing layers in front.

Sombré
