A NEW POSSIBILITY
Modern Rachel
Cheekbone-length pieces curve away from the face and blend into fuller shoulder-length layers. The ends turn gently outward.
- Talk to your stylist about
- Show where you want the first layer to hit the cheek and how much fullness you want to keep at the ends.
- Living with the look
- Compare how the layers sit air-dried and after a round-brush finish.
- A helpful reality check
- A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.
What defines Modern Rachel?
The modern Rachel uses shorter sections around the cheekbones and fuller layers near the shoulders. The outward turn makes the face frame easy to spot.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Look for the first piece beside the cheekbone. Turn to the side to see how the pieces step toward the shoulder and check the back for overall density.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show the shortest face-framing point and how much shoulder-length hair should stay full. Ask how the ends would fall without turning them outward.

Questions about Modern Rachel
Can I keep the face frame with a quieter finish?
Yes. Show the placement of the shorter layers separately from the outward turn and ask how they look in a natural fall.
