One of the trends I have been seeing lately is a style that is actually quite classic. The shag haircut might be considered an updated take on the layered cuts of the past.
I am not crazy about the name as it evokes something rather messy or unkempt. But I have always loved this silhouette, especially when it is mixed with a modern aesthetic, so I will set aside that reaction.
I don’t think most of us need to rush out and get a radical chop. But if you are looking for a change, here are some ideas for fresh, textured looks that work beautifully for women of all ages.
1. Long Curtain Bang Shag Cut
If you are looking for a cut that makes you look not only beautiful but also instantly younger, this is the one.
I think this is such a cool option for ladies with an oval face shape since it lies so cutely on the sides of the face for a truly glamorous look. Also, the maintenance is a breeze because it doesn’t tangle easily.
2. Blonde Shag Cut
The shag cut is obviously beautiful on its own, but when styled moderately, it gives you that total drool-worthy aesthetic.
This is such a good idea if you aren’t working with naturally full hair. You can even add some fun color shades at the tips for a look that feels a little crazier.
3. Razor Shag Cut
For the ladies who love their hair to look full, thick, and long, this razor shag cut is a solid choice. Not only does it make you look beautiful, but it also gives off a much younger vibe.
Plus, the fact that it is so easy to maintain is a major win in my book.
4. Full Fringe Short Shag Cut
Are you a teacher or a lawyer who needs a haircut that feels serious but is still totally cute? This full fringe short shag aims to give you that attractive look you have been desiring.
The best part is that it is effortless to maintain. You just have to keep your brush and hair cream handy in the mornings to smoothen the surface.
5. Red Short Fringe Curly Shag Cut
For anyone who loves keeping the fringe low, you absolutely need to check out this style.
The curly look of the hair mixed with straight bangs helps make it look so unique compared to other shag haircuts. Unlike other curly styles, this requires little to no hair product to keep it shining.
6. Classic Layered Shag Haircut
This two-layered shaggy cut gives you that total Barbie look. You can even dye one of the layers a different color shade to give the whole style a colorful pop.
If you haven’t colored your hair before, just know that a lot will change regarding your routine once you do!
7. Fringe Shag Cut
This hairdo gives ladies with oval faces such a chic look that makes the face appear slimmer, pointed, and sexy.
I personally think this hairdo is one you can rock in every single season of the year.
8. Fringe Long Shag Cut
First up on my list is this chic haircut that honestly suits almost all face shapes. For a more corporate look, you can style it backward, leaving the fringe to lie beautifully around your forehead.
This haircut is going to look especially good if you have a prominent forehead.
9. 70s Messy Shaggy Cut
This next inspiration is for the mixed-color lovers out there; you can have a shaggy cut that gives you that unique chic and party look.
You can part it at the center or the side, exactly as you desire.
10. Messy Shag Cut
The messy shag cut is here to satisfy the ladies who love a short cut with a little bit of craziness.
You can dye it for a different color if you want. And trust me, this cut does not stress you out because it is effortless to maintain.
11. Shag Mullet Cut
I know we are talking about low-maintenance shag haircuts, but sometimes you might want something crazy while keeping that maintenance level in mind.
That is exactly where this haircut comes in. Women who love multiple colors should definitely give this a try.
12. Wavy Shag Cut
This shag cut is a good choice of hairdo for ladies with a straight face because it makes your face look slimmer and younger.
Unlike other wavy haircuts, you don’t need much to maintain the hairdo. With moisturizing spray, oil, and a hairbrush, you are basically good to go.
13. Spikey Fringe Wavy Shag Cut
The combo of shaggy layers, vintage blush, and deep brunette is one perfect hairdo for young ladies.
It is such a great way to style your hair. You can also color it red or purple for a fancier look.
14. Fall Shag Haircut
This is a stunning cut for ladies with round faces, and the beautiful thing here is that you can easily trim the shags to your desire.
Remember, you can achieve something like this with hair extensions if you don’t wish to cut your hair.
