Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox’s Enduring Friendship

Our '90s nostalgia has officially been unlocked: Jennifer Aniston has given her bestie Courteney Cox a flicky blow-dry, and we're honestly getting flashbacks to Friends. Jen took to Instagram to share a video of the pair getting ready together, with the Rachel actress styling Court's locks using her LolaVie haircare products.

The 56-year-old — who is just as famous for her signature honey blonde locks as she is for her 10-year stint as gal pal Rachel Green — called the wholesome moment the "greatest day of [her] life," as she "finally gets to blow-dry Courtney's hair."

During the vid, Jennifer explained the process to the viewers, revealing what products she was using in each step (FYI, she uses the glossing detangler, which she jokes "has only won, like, 12 awards", plumping spray, hair oil, and a smoothening cream).

Following the sweet step-by-step tutorial, the finished product looked exactly like Jennifer's iconic character Rachel's — the frame-facing, flicky style of the 'do giving a major nod to the show that made the pair famous.

We weren't the only ones who saw the resemblance, either, as plenty of people took to the comments section to point out the likeness.

"The one where Jen does CC's hair," one person penned, as another joked: "Okay now you look like Demi Moore," referencing the episode when Phoebe cut Monica's hair, mistaking Demi Moore for Dudley Moore.

"When Rachel does Monica's hair IRL. It's the content we didn't know we needed. Can we make this a series?" a third said, as a fourth added: "Rachel and Monica" followed by a string of crying emojis.

OK, we agree with the fan: when can we get a Rachel and Monica spin-off series, where Jen just creates iconic looks from Friends?

The video sparked an outpouring of love from fans who have followed Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox for decades. Their friendship has been a cornerstone of pop culture ever since Friends first aired in 1994, and moments like these remind fans of the genuine bond that has lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling. Watching them interact today feels like a warm continuation of the laughter-filled days when Rachel and Monica ruled the screen.

What makes this particular moment even more special is Jennifer’s connection to hair trends. The “Rachel” haircut became a cultural phenomenon in the ’90s, inspiring countless women to replicate the layered style. Seeing Jennifer create a similar look on Courteney now feels like a delightful callback to a trend that defined an era. It also reinforces Jennifer’s enduring influence in both Hollywood and the beauty industry.

Courteney Cox, on the other hand, appeared radiant and comfortable, letting her longtime best friend take the reins. Fans admired her trust in Jennifer’s styling skills, which made the video even more endearing. The duo’s natural chemistry, filled with laughter and casual banter, was proof of a friendship built on mutual respect and love. It’s rare to see such an authentic bond endure for decades in Hollywood, and it’s one reason this clip resonated so strongly.

For Jennifer, the video also doubled as a brilliant showcase for her LolaVie haircare line. By casually demonstrating her products on a close friend, she made the brand feel approachable and authentic rather than overly promotional. Fans appreciated the behind-the-scenes vibe, with many commenting that they now wanted to try the award-winning detangler and other products she featured. It was both nostalgic and smart marketing, wrapped in one heartfelt moment.

The nostalgia factor can’t be overstated. Friends remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, and seeing two of its stars recreate such a familiar aesthetic hits differently for long-time viewers. It bridges the gap between the past and present, proving that while times may change, the bond between these two women — and the cultural impact of the show — is timeless.

As fans continue to clamor for more content featuring Jennifer and Courteney together, the video raises a playful question: could the actresses collaborate on future projects beyond social media? While a Friends reboot has been firmly ruled out, moments like this prove that audiences would warmly welcome any format that brings these iconic women back together on-screen.
