Jennifer Aniston has revealed the secret behind the legendary "Rachel" haircut.

Aniston appeared on the Graham Norton Show and joked that the Friends hairstyle occurred when the stylist was "stoned out of his mind."

"Chris McMillan, who we all know and love, he was loaded when he gave me the haircut," Aniston said. "Stoned out of his mind, so, which is true, and he didn't think about, 'Oh, she's going to have to do this herself.'" She added that the style was "hair hell," because it required "being creative" with a round brush and a hair dryer.
