This medium shag haircut works beautifully on any hair texture or length, yet especially beautiful with curly locks for a very romantic and girly vibe. This chin-length cut with a middle part features some bulk removed to lift the crown while creating definition in a face-framing side fringe. Wispy layers create an airy and romantic appearance while hiding forehead wrinkles.

Shag with Balayage
Bangs are one of the best ways to add feminine detail and frame your face when styling medium shag haircuts, while pairing perfectly with a flipped-end shag style, adding long layers of movement and classic charm to modern cuts. Balayage is an elegant coloring technique that works beautifully for this look, as it highlights movement and texture without making your locks seem uniform in color. Try strawberry blonde or light-brown balayage for an eye-catching style.
Shag with Textured Fringe
The shag cut is highly adaptable, fitting seamlessly into any length or texture of hair. This medium-length version shows how this style can help highlight natural features and accent color without giving you that Carol Brady look. Feathered layers give this modern textured shag its entire, fuller appearance, while longer ones add volume and depth to its shape. A feathered side part gives your style depth, while longer pieces create volume in an eye-catching style that makes an impactful statement piece in any hairstyle. For an elegant touch, this layered shag with bangs can be styled with face-framing streaks of hair color for added drama. Opt for bright hues for an eye-catching pop, or keep things subdued by adding subtle highlights that blend in seamlessly with your natural shade.
Shag with Long Bangs
For an effortless beachy style that makes you feel like you just stepped off a shipwreck, consider adding long shag layers with bangs to your medium-length hair. This style works exceptionally well if your locks naturally have waves. Choppy layers that graze the chin provide a face-framing silhouette while adding interest to a shag cut. Chestnut brown color highlights highlight the piece-y nature of these choppy layers for an eye-catching finish. This stunning layered shag boasts long feathery peek-a-boo bangs which fall to one side, creating an irresistibly chic style. Balayage coloring adds the right touch of sun-kissed color for an irresistibly stylish finish.
Shag with Curly Bangs
Those with naturally curly locks will find shag haircuts ideal for creating even fuller locks. Medium-length curly locks respond exceptionally well, creating an eye-catching layered effect full of shape and dimension. Duenas made a sculpted shag for this client that straddled the line between 3A ringlets and loose 2B waves to elevate her curl pattern and achieve an effortlessly balanced modern and timeless look. Her long, shaggy bob is accented with classic “Birkin” bangs for an effortlessly feminine and romantic appearance. Additionally, it has been dyed fuchsia pink to emphasize her naturally wavy texture and create a gorgeous romantic style.
Shag with Long Waves
A shag is a versatile layered cut that works for various lengths and textures of hair. A choppy shag that grazes the chin adds rock flair to medium-length locks with wavy layers. An elegant shoulder-length wavy shag can highlight your natural texture with loose loops of imperfect waves bouncing off your shoulders and into open circles reminiscent of loose coils of uncontrolled waves. This style looks even better when highlighted with balayage or blonde highlights for maximum impact. For an effortless boho look, opt for a silver-gray shag with long feathery peek-a-boo bangs in silver gray. This style creates an appealing contrast against a face-framing bob or an overgrown pixie cut.
Shag with Lob
The shag haircut is surprisingly adaptable and suitable for women of all hair textures. Medium-length locks look great in this look, with side-parted choppy layers framing the face for added style and flair. A strawberry bronde color adds contemporary appeal for an ultra-chic style statement. If you prefer less maintenance in fringe styles, consider going for a loose, low-maintenance curtain look that complements your shaggy lob. With minimal styling required and regular trimming sessions scheduled, this style works great as part of an expansion process or quick makeover! This also works if you need something quick and effortless to wear on an occasion!
