Soft shag haircuts are low-maintenance styles ideal for medium hair textures. They can be curly or straight, adding an edge to any look. Two unique options are Maisie Williams’ bold look with blunt bangs and January Jones’ soft side-parted shaggy pixie with wavy curtain bangs.
Pink and Blue Shag
The choppy, layered finish of the shag haircut complements vibrant colors. Balayage is an excellent option for those with light hair, creating a sun-kissed hue that shows off the layers. A modern wavy shag with long curtain bangs for thicker locks can frame the face and showcase texture. Dyeing the choppy layered shag with a bright pink hue creates an eye-catching statement, especially on brunettes.
Wolf Cut Shag
The wolf cut, popularized by BTS on TikTok, offers endless styling possibilities. It works well on medium to thick hair, exceptionally straight or wavy strands. The feathery layers create a full crown effect, and with added volume mousse and regular tousling, it enhances natural texture and frames facial features.
Shag with Blunt Bangs
A shag with blunt or wavy bangs flatters all face shapes, especially heart-shaped faces. Straight hair is best for choppy or textured shags, while curly textures blend layers naturally. When getting this haircut, communicate your preferences for heavily layered choppy shags with volume at the crown. Light purple hues add depth to a messy shag and complement warm skin tones.
Shag with Textured Layers
The versatile shag haircut suits multiple hair textures and lengths and flatters various face shapes. The layered shag with choppy layers adds volume to thin locks and can be enhanced with dip dyeing for vibrant highlights. Try a long ash blonde shag with center-parted bangs for a subtler and more sophisticated look. A wavy shag works well on most hair textures, fragile locks, and can be styled with a center part or angled side bangs. It provides an elegant and feminine style with minimal styling time.
