A tousled, just-out-of-bed style suits this sexy star. How does she do it?

Marisa Tomei has an ebullient, romantic look that seems perfect for her personality. If you have thick, medium-length hair and you want to try this style, just follow the instructions of Joey Battisti, artistic director at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa.

STEP 1: Wash hair with a moisturising shampoo and follow with a weightless conditioner, so hair is soft but not weighed down.

STEP 2: Apply a volumising mousse or spray to the roots of your damp hair. Part the hair on the side and blow-dry it. Use a medium round brush and don't pull hair completely straight all the way down; leave some wave and movement.

STEP 3: Pull back three sections of hair on the same side and pin them in the back, one at a time. Don't worry about pulling back the same size sections or pinning them in the same place. This hairstyle's charm is its loose and haphazard look.
