Jenna Ushkowitz's romantic curls have a fun, messy vibe to them. Steal her style: 1. Rub a dallop of texturizing mousse through dry, unwashed hair and comb through. Allow the product to set and dry before heat styling.2. Use a 1-inch barrel curling iron to create loose, messy curls through the bottom half of your hair by twisting the iron in different directions.3. Mist curls with a flexible-hold hairspray and run some shine serum over the ends to give them a healthy, glossy look.4. Sweep your hair over one shoulder for a romantic finish.

Zooey Deschanel's fairytale curls would look gorgeous with a floor-sweeping gown. Steal her style:

1. Rub a few drops of shine serum through your hair for smoothness, and blow dry straight using a paddle brush. 
2. Curl the bottom half of your hair in sections with a 1-inch curling iron and leave out the ends. Let each pretty curl fall into shape, rather than breaking them up with your fingers.
3. Use a round brush to blow dry your bangs straight (curl them inwards for a few seconds to get a slight lift), and arrange them across your forehead. Mist your curls with a light-hold hairspray.4. Does your hair look more like Snow White's than Rapunzel's (a.k.a.: is your hair too short)? That's what clip in extensions are for, princess.

America Ferrera's partially pulled back hair is sexy and ultra romantic. This works great if you have layers cut around your face. 1. Start by blow drying your hair straight. 2. Separate out the pieces around your face.3. Backcomb (tease) the hair at the crown of your head, then smooth the front of this section with a brush. 4. Pin this section in back with a couple of bobby pins. It's cool if the bobby pins show. Or, if you want somethin' a little glitzier you can slide in a barrette. 5. Spray a little hairspray on your hands and separate out the strands around your face. 6. Wash your hands (obviously).
