Discover a hairstyle that is chic yet tousled for a laid back look. Popularized by artists like Joan Jett in the 70s, the shag haircut has made a comeback as a bad ass hairstyle.
This looks great for any length of hair from short to long. All it takes is a bit of messiness.
Ok, so you don’t just make your hair look messy to get the shag look. The hairstyle is created using layers to give your hair a bit of texture and choppiness.
Layers around the crown of your head will really set off this look by giving you more dimension higher up on your head. From there, your hair is textured for a bit of messy wave that tapers to your ends.
That “texture” is created by more layers throughout the length of your hair, and in how you style it. You want to achieve volume in your mid-layers to give your hair some body and movement.
Mousse is great to add just before drying, and using a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer will help give your hair a natural bend or curl. Set with hairspray and a texture spray and voila, perfectly messy shag hairstyle!
