From LoveToKnow Hair
Meg Ryan's Hair is Always a Popular Style
Meg Ryan’s hair is always styled in a fun and trend-setting manner. Ryan has been an actress since the early 1980s, and she has been well-known for her cute haircuts ever since. Not only are women fans of her as an actress, but many are also huge fans and followers of Meg Ryan’s hair.
Ryan appeared on the daytime soap opera, “As the World Turns,” from 1982-1984, and after her stint on the soap was over, she moved to starring in made-for-television movies. Eventually, she starred in her first leading feature role when she appeared in the movie, “When Harry Met Sally.” After this movie, she continued to play the leading woman in several other silver screen hits.
Ever since Ryan's fame as a movie star grew and her popularity soared, women all over the world have been trying to emulate her fun and whimsical hairstyles, which tend to change slightly every time she appears in a new movie.
Trend-Setting Hairstyles
Ryan’s hairstyle in each of her movies almost automatically becomes popular. In the movie “You’ve Got Mail,” she wore a short, shaggy, layered style, which also included long bangs. The ends of her hair also flicked outwards. As usual, her hair was blonde with a nice blend of lighter highlights.
In order to accomplish the “You’ve Got Mail” hairdo, a person at home would shampoo their hair and using a round brush, dry the hair so that it has body. Using a blow dryer, the bottom layers of the hair should be dried in an upwards direction. This will help encourage the hair to flip out. A flat, ceramic hair iron can be used to help encourage the hair to flip outwards. Hair paste will help hold the style in place.
The All-American Girl Look
Many men have described Meg Ryan, and her hair style, as “the girl next door look.” Ryan is a petite woman with an adorable smile, and her hair just happens to look as if it is always having a “good hair day.” She always looks put-together and she also looks like she doesn’t have to work very hard at looking great.
Possibly, the reason Ryan looks so spectacular all the time is that her haircuts usually thrive on being somewhat “messy” looking. The "messy" look is currently in fashion, and also doens't need a huge amount of work - a great benefit.
Hairstylists Frequently Hear, “I Want the Meg Ryan Look”
Hairstylists all over the world claim that their clients often say, “I want Meg Ryan hair!” Fortunately, Ryan’s hairstyle is doable on most people. Her current cut includes uneven layering, which can be accomplished on just about anyone.
The layers in Ryan's hair are not evenly cut – because that would produce a “feather” in the hair, which is a style that went out in the 1980s. Uneven layering makes the hair look full and trendy.
Achieving “Meg Ryan hair” cannot be complete without cutting long bangs that are brushed off to the side, but almost constantly falling in the eyes. Using a sculpting hair product, the hands can help to mold the hair style and ensure that the ends flip outwards.
Ryan’s hair color has stayed relatively consistent over the years, but has seen some variation. It’s predominantly blonde with highlights. Anyone with blonde hair should be able to achieve Ryan’s hair color, but for those with darker hair, leaving the hair dark and adding lighter brown highlights will produce similarly cute results.
