Shag haircuts have become the style of choice this season. From complete and bouncy like Zendaya’s to sleek and straight like Billie Eilish’s, shag can perfectly fit every face shape and hair type. They opt for a center part with full fringe or multiple face-framing layers. Or wear your shag with side bangs to soften features and lengthen your forehead.
Long Choppy Haircut
Long, choppy haircuts are an on-trend and versatile style suitable for all hair textures, creating volume at the crown while thinning out at the ends for a flattering finish. Additionally, this look works particularly well on women with oval, diamond, and square facial structures. Try pairing a choppy cut with an eye-catching dark blue balayage to achieve a chic and lively look this season. The choppy texture works wonderfully to offset the stunning hue of this blue shade – an essential ombre hair color addition!
Wavy Hairstyle with Blonde Highlights
Wavy shag hairstyles offer the ideal low-maintenance style. Ask your stylist to give you layers that frame your face and accentuate your best features, then add color for a surfer vibe. Long ash blonde highlights set against a medium shag haircut create an elegant style that exudes effortless chic. While this look works on texture strands, medium to thick locks tend to respond best. Use a texturizing spray like Odele’s Texturizing Sea Salt Spray ($12) to add movement and structure to your shag by creating more layers and shaping it. This will also help define its layers more clearly for an improved appearance.
Olive Skin Tone Hairstyle
No matter your preferred cut – from sleek bob to full fringes – choosing the appropriate hair color can bring out your green eyes in stunning fashion. Chocolate brown looks particularly striking against olive skin tones. Women with warm olive skin tones can experiment with blonde hues like strawberry, honey, and chestnut blonde shades for an updated look. Blue or purple undertones could clash with your complexion; for a low-commitment hair color update, try opting for a balayage blending into your natural shade instead.
Wavy Hairstyle with Purple Balayage
A wavy shag haircut featuring purple balayage is a stunning choice for girls with medium or shoulder-length hair, featuring choppy layers, face-framing bangs, and plenty of texture for an eye-catching yet low-maintenance style. Round faces tend to look best with center-parted bangs that can be flipped outwards or side-swept. Full fringes may also work, though, it is wiser to opt for layered curtain styles with multiple layers that provide maximum coverage for less frequent trimming needs. Ask your stylist for a more traditional cut that showcases natural wavy texture while layering up an ash blonde hue to bring out its brightness and balance your petite frame.
Long Straight Hairstyle
Long, straight hairstyles are timeless classics that can be styled in various ways to suit multiple accessories and updos. Long, consecutive locks look more elegant and graceful than their wavy counterparts. A sleek black-to-brown color fade gives this traditional chin-length layered haircut an unexpected edge. Long face-framing layers and feathered ends combine for an airy and dreamy effect. Sandra Bullock proves that an easy and classic long straight hairstyle can still look sophisticated and chic. She showcases her warm blonde locks with an intricate side parting and modern ombre effect.
Shoulder Length Haircut with Bangs
The shoulder-length shag hairstyle suits people of all ages, face shapes, and hair textures. A classic look with long feathery bangs, it is casual yet feminine – an everlasting classic that won’t go out of fashion until 2023! If you have a round face shape, side or curtain bangs are an ideal way to frame and add length without needing regular trims like full fringe require. Wavy hair primarily benefits from this style due to choppy layers, which help your locks maintain volume.
Chic Indigo Hair Dye
Indigo is a natural hair dye that darkens your hair’s roots. You can apply it independently or combine it with henna for a deeper blue-black hue. To prepare indigo, pour hot water into a medium-sized bowl and mix until you create a textured paste – Wearing gloves during this process may prevent staining clothes, carpets, or pets! Maintain your indigo hair color’s vibrancy using shampoo and conditioner formulated for colored hair. Pair your new shade with double Dutch pigtails for an adorable, heat-free style!
Red Hair Dye
Red hair dye can add a pop of color and help you stand out from the crowd, while simultaneously refreshing dull locks and adding shine. If your hair is dark or colored-treated, it is wise to consult a professional before trying out boxed colors to go red. Achieving vibrant hues on darker strands is more challenging. To maintain its rich hue, it’s best to limit how frequently you wash and heat style it, reducing any potential for premature fading and damage. This will also help limit any unnecessary styling damages contributing to its degradation over time.
