How to Get the Look
If you want to achieve the rom-com hair look in 2024, consider getting a haircut that lands between a shag and long layers. Ask for long, choppy layers that can be styled in various ways.
Styling Tips
Celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena recommends using voluminous mousse and thickening spray to add body and texture to your hair. You can use a round brush and blow-dryer or a blow-dry brush for styling, or opt for a more effortless, messy look.
