The shag haircut is not just for straight-haired ladies – it also looks great on a full head of bouncy curls! If you’re a fan of the ‘ 70s look, a curly shag is an excellent option for you. The result is a fresh, youthful, and effortlessly chic haircut that can take you from day to night without any styling required. Your stylist will also shape the cut so that it frames your face and balances out your features. It incorporates the shag’s signature choppy layers and fullness at the crown but is often cut with a razor to achieve a softer, more feminine vibe. The modern shag haircut is a little more wearable than the classic ’70s version. Straight, fine hair in particular benefits from the added texture, volume, and movement of a shag – add a spritz of sea salt spray to give it that chic ‘undone’ finish.

Plus, it’s a versatile choice as it works for different hair types. Low-maintenance and effortlessly cool, a medium shag haircut suits almost every face shape. Medium-length hair is classically suited to the shag haircut as all the layers frame and flatter your face. At the same time, the front layers will frame your face beautifully, so it doesn’t get lost in the ‘mass’ of your hair. The layers add movement and dimension while taking some of the weight out, making a long shag haircut ideal for those with thicker hair. While the classic shag haircut is usually seen on medium-length hair, long-haired ladies can also rock the layered look.
