If it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, you have a reason to smile ‘coz F.R.I.E.N.D.S got you boo. When you think of a T.V. series to fall back on a bad day, you probably think of…F.R.I.E.N.D.S. They really nailed it with the title. We’ve seen every single episode approximately 6,789,567 times, but F.R.I.E.N.D.S remain the ultimate hangover-curing, mood-boosting comfort watch. Somehow it’s been 27 years since F.R.I.E.N.D.S first aired, and even today we obsess about the amazing ’90s fashion and hairstyles we saw there. Could we be any more obsessed?
There were a lot of funny moments and some that left us near to tears, but the one area that has us wanting more? The bomb hairstyles. From the iconic Rachel haircut to the face-framing tendrils of Monica and Phoebe’s baby braids — F.R.I.E.N.D.S continues to inspire our beauty aesthetic even 27 years later. So on the occasion of International Friendship Day, we recreate some of the best hair moments from the show – who needs a Pinterest inspiration board when you could just tune into your favourite F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode one more time?
4 Iconic Hairstyles From Friends That Live In Our Heads Rent-Free
For The Love Of Classics
“My hair is extremely frizzy, and there’s not much I can do with it, but Phoebe’s do is basically no-effort, and it flatters my hair type. Just pull the front of your hair back with a plastic headband, and remove some face-framing chunks — that’s it.” – Urvi Shah, Beauty Writer.
Tendril Braids For Y2K Lovin’ Queens
“Idc what people say, Phoebe Buffay is the most stylish F.R.I.E.N.D.S character, especially when it comes to beauty looks (no shade to Rachel Green’s fashion sense though). Phoebe’s always flaunting an interesting beauty theme and her hairstyles have ranged from quirky and chic to experimental and sultry throughout the show. The beauty inspo just pours out of this character. I chose to rock this simple and cute hair look inspired by Phoebe because it really is back in trend right now, what with the resurgence of ’90s trends. Not to forget, this hairstyle is so easy to recreate and those baby braids are too cute to pass up on,” – Eden Noronha, Senior Writer.
Freakin’ Cute Pigtails
“I chose Phoebe’s middle-parted half up and half down pig tails because it’s fun, chic, and oh-so Phoebe Buffay! When you can’t decide if you want to keep your hair up or down — you do both.” – Nikita Upadhya, Senior Writer
Rachel-Inspired Beachy Hairdo
“Fact: Rachel Green was the resident fashion girl of F.R.I.E.N.D.S throughout the 10-season run. Sure, Monica had a great taste in boots (despite not being able to walk in them), and we respect Phoebe’s charmingly eccentric ensembles, but Rachel had a penchant for wearing the most au courant trends of the time (the late ’90s and early ‘00s). It’s no surprise then that Rachel Green’s hairstyles are as relevant as ever. From the original Rachel days to the boob-length hair of dreams, to the lob – we’ve seen it all. I chose this hairstyle because it keeps me in a vacation state of mind. Whether you’re actually going to the beach or have rooftop soirees on the horizon – this hairstyle is likely to induce wanderlust.” – Ayushi Verma, Beauty Writer.
