Blake Lively's Hair Is the New "Rachel." Huh?!

Everyone wants Blake Lively's hair. The New York Times is saying it's the new Rachel or Farrah. (Kate Gosselin would probably beg to disagree.)

The NYT then spends a whole article discussing the Gossip Girl star's hair and includes all kinds of weird quotes like, "It's aspirational hair. [Clients] don't just want the hair, they want the life." Or "the look only works for tall, slim women" and "kind of transcends" age.

It's a lot of analysis for a hairstyle, and we gotta say, most of the time we see Blake out she's actually rocking the unbrushed, messy look (as seen above, right). Even when it's all nice with a fresh blowout, it doesn't look that iconic. Not even close to Rachel status.

What do you think? Are you going to request The Blake on your next salon visit?
