A decade ago, she made the "Rachel cut" a must-have for anyone lucky enough to have the right kind of hair. She's still making hair headlines. Just recently the Web site handbag.com polled its members to find which celebrity had the best haircut. Aniston won by a landslide, getting nearly half the votes for her latest hairstyle that allows her to be "surfer chic by day and sleek and sexy by night."
Surfer chic by day. Sexy by night. That's everyone's dream come true. And to think it can all be done with a good haircut! Do YOU have the right cut? Shockwaves surveyed more than 2,000 people to find out which were the best and worst hairstyles of all time for both men and women, and the surprising results have been published on handbag.com.
The BEST haircuts of all time and the celebrities who sport them:
1. The Afro
It's funky, cutting-edge, and retro--all at the same time. Donning it are style icons Beyonce Knowles, Lauren Hill, and Macy Gray.
2. Short Back and Sides
For men, this is the classic sex symbol look. Exhibits A, B, and C are Affleck, Brosnan, and Cruise.
3. The Bob
The big selling points: It's adaptable and never goes out of fashion. Just ask "Sex and the City" stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon.
4. A Ponytail
It's sleek and youthful. Besides, that schoolgirl look is popping up on 30-something actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman.
5. Skinhead
Bruce Willis, Ed Harris, and Sinead O'Connor have made bald daring, bold, and very sexy.
The WORST haircuts of all time and the celebrities who sport them:
1. The Mullet
Short on the top and the sides and long in the back, the mullet is a part of the '70s that's best forgotten. The problem is that too many people remember the way Michael Bolton, Jon Bon Jovi, and Billy Ray Cyrus looked and think it's cool to copy it now. Take our advice: It's not cool!
2. Curtains
Parted in the middle with the hair just falling around the face curtain-style is not the way to win over the ladies. Yes, we're talking about you Keanu Reeves.
3. Feathered
Putting a razor through your hair is usually a regrettable move. Handbag.com says Pink deserves an award for the worst feathered haircut.
4. The Basin Cut
Plop a bowl on your head and cut around the edges. Even if you didn't actually use a bowl, it looks like you did. Elton John made it famous.
5. Tintin Fringe
This gentleman's haircut is fine on the sides but it pops up on top of the head, making the poor guy look like a cartoon character. That hasn't stopped Colin Farrell, Orlando Bloom, and Jude Law from sporting the look at one time or another.
