Slip back in time with a retro 1970s shaggy layered hairstyle! Choppy, textured, and feminine – this classic cut makes an excellent low-maintenance option with some edge!
The Classic Shag
A classic of the 1970s, this layered haircut offers rock n’ roll glamour without being high maintenance. Modern shag is an easy way to add dimension and volume to your hair, typically featuring a layered crown with choppy ends and plenty of texture. For a more feminine version of the shag style, try soft feathered peek-a-boo bangs like Camila Cabello has, or opt for a wavy lob with loose waves and side parting instead.
The Curly Shag
Curly shags are an excellent way to achieve the androgynous look made famous by Joan Jett and Debbie Harry from Blondie. This style can be worn any length, especially with shoulder or longer hair. To recreate this ’70s throwback look, ask your stylist to add multiple pronounced layers before using a large barrel curling iron to complete this retro style.
The Cropped Shag
Shag hairstyles were once popular in the ’60s and ’70s and have recently made a comeback as an easier-to-style look and attitude. Boasting choppy layers and rock ‘n roll vibes, this long face-framing tendril shag works on almost every facial structure and features long face-framing tendrils with a face-framing effect. Its texturizing product adds a natural-looking bounce; apply when damp and let air dry!
The Shag with Bangs
Medium-length hair that wants a relaxed vintage style with a contemporary edge should try this heavily layered version of the shag. Featuring longer strands in the back and short layers in front, this cut provides added movement and texture without making a permanent commitment. Additionally, this style pairs nicely with bangs – face-framing and straight or pin-back styles.
