Layers
Layers are an effective way to add shape and volume to medium-length hair, as they help define its structure and add movement.

A layered shag is an iconic choice for medium-length hair. This haircut works beautifully on any facial structure and texture; thick hair primarily benefits from adding width while simultaneously balancing out round or oval faces and creating width with balanced features like rounded edges or oval forms.

When styling a shag, it’s critical to focus on layering for face-framing effects that reduce bulk while allowing natural movement from its strands – for an effortless yet chic appearance.
