Meg Ryan, defying age gracefully, made a striking appearance at a screening for her hit movie "The Women" on September 11, 2008, in New York City. Her understated black dress drew attention to her face and, notably, her signature shaggy hairstyle.

Meg has long been synonymous with deliberately messy hairstyles, pioneering a fun and easy-going look that remains iconic. If you're keen on emulating her style, your local stylist can help you achieve those lovely layers that define her look.

Here's how to achieve Meg's signature shaggy hairstyle:

1. Haircut: Ask your stylist for layers that are concentrated in the lower third of your hair, with mild texture added to the ends. This layering technique adds movement and enhances the shaggy effect.

2. Styling: Start with damp hair and apply a small amount of mousse throughout. This helps to add volume and hold to your hair.

3. Blow Drying: Flip your head upside down while blow-drying to maximize volume at the roots. Use your fingers to tousle and lift your hair as you dry.

4. Final Touch: Once dry, rough up your hair with your fingers to enhance texture and create that effortlessly messy look. Give your head a gentle shake to loosen the hair and let it fall naturally.

With these simple steps, you can achieve Meg Ryan's playful and carefree hairstyle. Embrace the shaggy layers and enjoy a look that exudes confidence and relaxed charm, just like Meg herself!
