Everything You Need To Know About Layered Shag Haircuts

Some feel shag cuts are timeless. Others say they are one of the sexiest looks going. If you feel the same then you'll love this quick overview of the various shag layered haircuts.


As you know the signature of this trendy hairstyle is a loose look with lots of layers. Especially the layers part.

To briefly cover the history - the shag first surfaced back in the Seventies. And the big change ushered in with this style is it is supposed to be messy looking. Most credit Jane Fonda in Klute as an early adopter. Many others eagerly followed her lead and adopted this carefree style as well.

One could describe the shag as wild and untamed. You know, the ultimate just got out of bed look? But if nothing else it's known for being an uneven short style that has easy going fun written all over it.

As for the various types of shag layered haircuts, well here's a short list. Let's see you've got
The flirty shoulder-skimming shag. Often with this cut, the layers are concentrated on the sides and front with plenty of wispy face-framing layers put in. Sometimes the back is kept more or less one length.

The choppy shag has layers snipped in all over for maximum flexibility. As with most shags, use the right styling products and you're free to pretty much wash and go.

Or you can do a shag with heavy bangs. The hallmark of this beauty again is lots of layers.

Then there's the sassy looking multi-layered short shag. Your stylist should cut in longer uneven pieces in around the crown and the back of your head.

There's also what I guess you could call the shaggy bob. Sort of a cross between the shag and bob.
Styles like this work best for anyone with hair that is fine, straight, thick or wavy -- guess you say pretty much any hair type except ultra thick and curly.

Alternate Shag Look: Work a bit of light gel through your damp locks. Blow dry and stretch a pretty headband right behind the front layers.

This tousled cut keeps it's good looks for a really long time.

Did I mention it's a popular, sexy style that requires little maintenance? In fact most shags look their best when left to dry naturally. Although some like to have more volume at the roots to shape the look. Which can be achieved with a good root-lifting pomade or gel.

Given the advantages of such hairstyles it's easy to see the near universal appeal of this style, isn't it?

Just remember the whole idea here is your hair shouldn't be too neat. Messy, tousled and a bit out of control is more the look you're looking for when leaving the salon with one of the various types of shag layered haircuts.
