In brief
A bro flow haircut is a medium or longer style that moves away from the face with a relatively relaxed finish. It usually keeps enough length around the sides and back to create movement instead of a tightly clipped outline.
The name describes a general look rather than one precise cut. Your texture, growth direction and current length determine how the shape should be built. A good reference shows movement and proportion, not just long hair.
Keep the length that creates the flow
The hair needs enough length to bend and travel away from the face. If the front is too short, it may stand up or fall forward instead. The sides need to connect to that movement rather than end abruptly above the ears.
At the chair
Tell your barber whether you want to tuck the hair back. That gives a practical requirement for the side length. If you are still growing toward the style, ask which sections should be left alone while the outline is refined.
Use layers to support the shape
A longer haircut can become heavy around the sides or flat through the top. Layers can redistribute that weight, but removing too much may take away the fullness and bend you want.
Describe the problem in specific terms. Perhaps the back feels wide, the front falls into your eyes or the sides flip out more than you like. Your barber can address those areas without treating every section as if it needs the same amount removed.
Let your texture show
Waves can contribute to the movement of this style, while straighter hair may need a different approach to drying or weight. Curly hair can create a fuller variation with its own shape.
Choose references close to your texture where possible. A photo with a very different curl pattern can still communicate the length you like, but it may not be a realistic guide to the exact finished movement.
Keep the styling light enough to move
A relaxed finish usually benefits from avoiding excessive product. Ask your barber how to guide the hair away from the face while keeping it flexible. The appropriate product and amount depend on your hair and the level of control you want.
If you prefer air-drying, say so. A cut designed around a detailed blow-dry routine may not behave the same way when left alone. Agree on a finish that matches the routine you will actually use.

Book for shaping rather than starting over
When you like the overall length, make that clear at every appointment. The goal may be to refine the silhouette and ends while preserving the movement you have grown.
