A shag haircut can bring volume, dimension, and body back into your look. A style this versatile works with curly, wavy, and straight hair. We hope you’ll find your dream shaggy cut below!
1. Thick Shag with Bangs. Make sure your shaggy cut is tailored to flatter your face so it can complement your features beautifully. Add choppy bangs and concentrate the volume exactly where you need it.

2. Long Curly Shag Haircut. We love how beautiful the curls look with a shaggy cut. Keep the length while having volume on top with shorter layers.
3. Short Shag. You can have shaggy pieces with short bobs too – it can bring out your natural curls!
4. Layered Shag Hairstyle. If you are lacking volume, try a layered shag cut to get that bounce back.

13. Long Shag Hairstyle. The long length looks great with shaggy pieces because you can vary the length of your layers. Add shorter wispy pieces on top for extra body and height.
14. Shag Haircut for Fine Hair. If you have fine hair, add thick baby bangs and messy layers throughout to help balance out the body of your hair. A shorter bob cut looks great on fine hair because it allows your hair to have more body.

17. Fiery Shaggy Locks. We love how full the top and bangs look with this style – having them a bit longer and uneven makes the look so much more effortless and messy compared to shags with blunt front bangs.
18. Center-Parted Wavy Shag. Do shorter layers if you’ve got medium length hair to have a lot of body and volume.

19. Curly Shag Cut. Diffuse your curls when damp so you can get that messy shag look with your shorter layers.
