How To Achieve The Rachel Green 90s Blowout: 3 Tools for Every Era

Few hairstyles have left a lasting cultural imprint quite like Rachel’s 90’s blowout, made iconic by Jennifer Aniston in her role as Rachel Green on Friends. This voluminous 90’s blowout became the defining look of its generation and is back in full force for 2025. Glossy, bouncy, and layered to perfection, Rachel’s hair was more than just a cut and style, it was a cultural moment.

Now thanks to our viral hot tools, getting the nostalgic blowout of your dreams doesn’t require a personal stylist on speed dial. Whether you’re reliving your 90’s glory days or discovering it for the first time, these three styling essentials help you channel the different seasons of her most iconic hair moments, all from the comfort of your own bathroom.

1. Interchangeable Blow Dry Brush: Season 1 Rachel – Big Volume, Bigger Bounce.

In Season 1 of Friends, Rachel Green burst onto the scene with the blowout that started it all… layered, lifted at the crown, and full of bounce. Her hair was all about maximum volume and a rounded, blown-out silhouette.

The Interchangeable Blow Dry Brush is the ultimate tool to recreate this early-season look. A powerful blend of a round brush and dryer in one, it gives you a salon style blowout at home, no juggling tools required.

How to use:

Begin with damp or dry hair, sectioned for control.

Use the round brush attachment to curl ends under and flick out face-framing layers.

Focus on the crown area to build height (Rachel’s hair was all about volume up top)

2. Thermal Brush: Season 3 Rachel – Flipped Inwards with Soft Volume

By Season 3, Rachel’s hair had evolved to be sleeker and more refined. Still voluminous, but with a polished shape that gently curved inwards. The Thermal Brush is your styling go-to for this era.

Designed to perfect and refresh dry hair, it smooths the lengths while shaping your ends into that signature 90s curve. Think: hair that looks freshly blow-dried, even when it's not.

How to use:

Start with 100% dry hair

Wrap the ends of your layers around the brush, turning outward for the signature 90s flick

Add volume at the crown by gently lifting upwards from the roots

3. Infrared Styler: Season 10 Rachel – Sleek, Smooth & Flicked In

In later seasons, Rachel's style matured into something smoother and more polished. The layers were still there, but the finish was sleeker, shinier, and more controlled. Enter the Infrared Styler (or an alternative is our Straightener)

This tool uses gentle infrared heat to straighten, contour and smooth without compromising on bounce. It’s ideal for creating that ultra-sleek version of Rachel’s hair with clean ends and soft flicks.

How to use:

Glide through dry hair, curving slightly at the ends to maintain shape.

Use on face-framing pieces to clean up flyaways and contour the face.

For a 90s flip, rotate the styler outward on the bottom two inches of hair.
