The Shag Haircut Makes a Comeback | Canton, GA
Do you want a no-fuss, effortless, cool look? Then the shag is perfect for you. You can rock the choppy, layered look with any length or color of hair. There are so many variations of the style that give it a new modern twist on a retro cut. When you are ready to get the shag look, Jyl Craven Hair Design in Canton GA is the best place to make the transition.
What is the Shag Haircut?
The shag first became popular in the 1970’s, when many different celebrities made it famous for its high-fashion but effortless style. The look has stood the test of time, though, because of its versatility. It can look runway ready or casual, dressy or cool. The cut can be short, medium, or long, and any color of the rainbow. But since it can be so versatile, what exactly makes it a shag? Arguably the most important thing about a shag is giving the hair as much texture as possible. You want to have the ends of your hair to be choppy, as well as layers throughout. The hair should look full through the crown, and layered at the ends.
Different Styled Shags
The cut is so versatile, that there are so many different ways to make it perfectly unique for you! Learn more about how to style a retro, runway, or sleek shag for your effortlessly cool new cut.
Retro
To give it a retro-rocker vibe, add curtain bangs, or a full fringe to the cut, part the hair in the middle, and add some beachy waves. To perfect the look, use Shu Uemura Texture Wave Texturizing Spray for all-day hold and added volume. The look is so easy to style and maintain, but has an edgy look and vibe.
Runway Shag
Want to look like you just stepped off of the runway? The shag can be perfect for this style. Have your cut just above the shoulders or a little longer, and add a short full fringe. The edgier the shag, the more high-fashion it will look. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone when trying to achieve this look. When it comes to styling, don’t be afraid of the messy, just rolled out of bed look. Spray Kerastase Aura Botanica Eau de Vagues Beach Wave Spray on damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser for a runway-ready look.
Sleek Shag
Although they may seem like complete opposites, it is entirely possible to create a sleek shag. This look is gorgeous on lob-length and longer shag cuts with soft fringe or face-framing layers. The key to this look is making sure to add shine to the dimensional and choppy look of your shag. After blow drying hair with a round brush, apply Kerastase Serum Therapiste from mid lengths to ends of the hair to protect and add shine. Use a straightener or curling iron to bend the ends inwards or outwards depending on your preference.
