What is a shag cut?

A shag cut is a layered hairstyle known for its playful, voluminous look and natural texture. Originally popularized in the 1970s, the hairstyle is now making a comeback due to its trendy, casual look that perfectly complements modern styles.

A shag involves cutting several layers, often combined with light bangs, to create depth and movement in the hair. This ensures that the hairstyle always looks full and vibrant, without spending a lot of styling time. Whether you have short, mid-length or long hair – the shag cut effortlessly adapts to your personal style.

Shag haircut maintenance and styling tips

The shag haircut is not only stylish, but also easy to maintain. To keep the layers looking great, it is recommended to schedule a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. For styling, you don’t need much: a little texture spray or mousse will bring out the layers perfectly and give you that signature, casual look. Do you have naturally wavy or curly hair? Let your hair air dry for a loose, natural look. For a tighter finish, lightly work the ends with a styling tool. This will keep your shag haircut fresh and vibrant every day!

Frequently asked questions about the shag cut

1. How often should I have my shag haircut touched up?

To keep the layers and texture of your shag haircut looking great, we recommend coming in for a trim every 6 to 8 weeks. This helps keep the cut fresh and vibrant without losing its shape.

2. Does a shag haircut suit all hair types?

Yes! A shag haircut is suitable for almost any hair type. On fine hair, it can add extra volume and texture, while on thick hair it provides lightness and a lighter look. The shag cut also comes into its own with curly and wavy hair.

3. Is a shag easy to style?

Absolutely! One of the advantages of the shag cut is that it is low maintenance. For a casual, natural look, you can let your hair dry with a little texture spray. For some extra volume or a tighter finish, you can use light styling products, but the shag haircut already looks naturally stylish.

4. Can I combine a shag cut with bangs?

Yes, the shag haircut is often combined with a loose, layered fringe, which makes the look even more playful. Whether you choose a short, long or curtain bang, bangs can be a fun addition that adds to the distinctive, casual style of the shag cut.

5. What face shapes is the shag suitable for?

The shag haircut is extremely versatile and works well with many face shapes. The layers can be cut in such a way that they, for example, round out an angular face or give more contour to a round face. During your appointment, we can advise on the best variant for your face shape.
