Jennifer Aniston, as Rachel Green in Friends, triggered a hair revolution that swept the ’90s. Her voluminous, shoulder-length cut with face-framing layers has been emulated by women for years since, transcending beyond the sit-com to become a cultural hair phenom.
Today, now both an actor and founder of LolaVie, Aniston celebrates her haircare brand’s fourth anniversary by finally getting her hands on Friends co-star Courteney Cox’s hair. “I get to finally blow dry Courtney’s hair,” Aniston says in a video shared to Instagram, with Cox in her salon chair. “I’ve been wanting to do it, because she’s [got] this gorgeous head of hair, but there tends to be frizz on top.”

How Aniston tackles the frizz is pretty simple. She goes in with the Lolavie’s Glossing Detangler—“it’s only won, like, 12 awards,” jokes Aniston—spraying it sparingly through from the top to the ends of Cox’s damp hair and combing it out. “I don’t brush my hair,” admits Cox, “so the fact that you can get that comb through it like that, it’s really a miracle product.”
Then she adds the brand’s pumping spray to the roots, using a hairdryer and a fat, round brush to create volume on Cox’s crown. Next, she smooths through a hair oil for breakage repair and protection, and a smoothing cream to ward off those final bits of frizz and provides some hold to keep the shape. The finished look? Modern day Jennifer Aniston’s take on the Rachel-esque, flicky ’90s blowout.
It’s an easily replicable look for anyone at home. The currency of a good hair oil—keep an eye out for strengthening and protective ingredients like argan oil and jojoba oil—and a heavy-duty but light-touch smoothing cream is unmatched. The best hair oil can revitalize your hairdo, waking up dull, dry strands, and levelling up your blowout with end-result softness and shine. “Hair oil has always been my go-to—a staple in my kit and the only styling product I use on my own hair,” celebrity hairstylist and Rōz founder Mara Roszak previously told Vogue.“Our hair loves moisture.”
