The exciting thing about the haircut? The layering that starts at eye level and ends at her shoulder. As you may remember from the “The Rachel” cut, made famous by Jennifer Aniston on Friends, this blow-dried hairstyle and length creates a lot of volume.

The Rachel was copied by millions of women all over the world—in part because the layered cut is so wonderfully versatile and can be adapted for any face shape. It also gives fine hair lots of volume. It’s no wonder that it continues to be brought back again and again. 

Of course, Emma Watson has a more modern take on the hairstyle—it’s a little less voluminous than the Rachel, without sacrificing any of that oomph. To achieve the look, you’ll need to twist the hair in a round brush as you blow dry. This not only beautifully flatters the face but also adds volume.
