Split Dye
The shag haircut is highly adaptable and works beautifully with various color palettes. It works exceptionally well when combined with balayage highlights, which utilize gradual highlights to lighten your locks gradually and add dimension. However, bold colors like blue or purple also work wonderfully – just be sure to use professional dyeing rather than box coloring, which could damage your locks.
One effective way to add flair to a wavy shag haircut is with a split dye job, in which half your locks are dyed with bright hues while the rest remain natural. Hongjoong from ATEEZ had this look during their 2020 comeback tour, and fans went crazy! For best results when trying this look yourself, use color-safe shampoo and conditioner and a water temperature that does not reach icy low.
Two-Tone hair
Two-tone hair is an engaging and flirty option that offers endless color possibilities. Ranging from blonde and deep blue hues pink, and purple shades – two-tone is a fantastic way to show off your individuality while adding dimension to any haircut!
For a more straightforward approach, ask your stylist to add babylights on half of your head for a more subdued take on this trend. These fine color streaks create sun-kissed effects without needing constant root touch-ups.
Choose bolder by giving your locks an eye-catching two-tone style by coloring only the lower layers with one hue while leaving the top layers natural for an eye-catching and striking two-tone look. It will surely turn heads!
Orange Blonde
Orange hues add a fresh and feminine feel to a shaggy haircut, providing high contrast without looking overbearingly bright. Try an orange ombre style for something soft and subtle, or try coppery shades for warmth and brightness in your tresses.
