Maybe you’ve seen the photos on Instagram. Or perhaps a friend just got a fresh chop.
If you’re like me, the feeling of wanting a new look is mixed with a little hesitation, as the idea of styling a complex cut makes you worry about the morning rush. So I’ve come up with a list of shag haircuts with bangs that look incredible but won’t require hours of maintenance.
Here are 50 stylish examples that deliver on both volume and “cool girl” vibes.
1. Super Short Bob Shag with Fringe
With the number of long layers we’ve seen, you might think slaying a short cut is impossible, but you’d be wrong.
Thanks to the fun color choice and the unique silhouette, I’m choosing this over half the long hairstyles out there.
2. Pink Messy Shag Haircut
There is honestly so much to love about this look. Should I start by talking about the unconventional color or the texture that is totally a conversation starter?
In any case, the whole vibe looks dope, especially paired with the model’s impeccable eyes.
3. Soft Shag Cut with Highlights
This hairstyle is another excellent soft option that features an adorable color gradient.
It’s not the most obvious detail to notice right away, but you’ll see it if you look closely, and it is undoubtedly adorable.
4. Layered Shag Haircut with Curtain Bangs
Purple might be fun, but you just have to admit that nothing beats the allure of this brown shag haircut.
With its wavy look and the perfect curtain bangs, it might’ve just become my favorite style in this entire roundup.
5. Blonde Shag Haircut with Long Fringe
Adding a fringe to your cut is never a bad idea if you’re a fan of face-framing pieces.
However, if the haircut is going to have exceptional length, then the fringe should be long too, just like this.
6. Spooky Black and Blonde Shag Haircut with Dhag
If that pink look isn’t for you, black and blonde might be a more practical alternative.
Both shades are relatively common, but mixing them into one hairstyle is something most people don’t do, and it is surprisingly cool.

If you’re thinking about transitioning to flashy colors, purple is a pretty safe starting point.
