Staged, wild and rocky – the shag is back and experiencing a revival! You can find out how to wear and style the shag cut here.
Shag Cut – What is it?
The mullet of the 70s has been making a comeback in a modern design for quite a while! With the name Shag Cut, the cult haircut emerged from oblivion and has now also landed on the catwalks. The haircut is characterized by complete layered hair reminiscent of the famous hairstyles of Nena, Goldie Hawn and Mick Jagger.
The steps are fringed and cut unevenly. This joins in long bangs that are highlighted by curtain bangs. In contrast to the mullet, with the shag cut you don't overdo it with the steps, otherwise it could come to the revival of the 70s and look a bit old-fashioned …
How do you wear the shag cut?
The shag cut can be completely adapted to the individual hair length and hair structure. Whether short, as a long bob or with long hair, curly, straight or with a wavy mane – the shag cut is flexible, the main thing is that it comes in a stepped, undone look and is therefore casual! To do this, it doesn't have to be stylishly styled: A little salt water or structure spray defines the trend hairstyle. Alternatively, volumizing foam provides more bounce in damp hair. You can conjure up a bit of rock'n'roll spirit with the diffuser attachment while blow-drying.
And if you are given natural curls anyway, then you score twice with the shag cut, because the haircut doesn't get any wilder or fluffier. If you have curly hair, just make sure that the tips are thinned out.
Tip: With slightly less layered hair, you create a perfect symbiosis between rock'n'roll and glamor, which means that the shag cut can also appear in an elegant look.
Who Does the Shag Cut Fit For?
Basically: The shag cut suits everyone and everyone! You should only keep your fingers off the shag cut if you have super fine and straight hair. The shag can be perfectly adapted to the most varied of face shapes:
- Faces with high foreheads cover them up with long curtain bangs thanks to the shag cut
- Angular faces are gently rounded off by the shag
- Narrow face shapes get an extra portion of fullness with the haircut
- Round faces When making a shag cut, use a middle parting that visually stretches the face
Note: There is a risk of split ends with the shag cut due to the stepped haircut. So you should pay your hairdresser a regular visit. In addition, hair oil can condition your hair.
