Shag hairstyle is a trendy, popular hairstyle symbolizing the attitude of the youth-carefree and cool. It is the style that works for both men and women. Such hairstyle is achieved by cutting hair in layers with the last layer being the longest one and more hair on the top of the head.  This kind of style requires very little maintenance each day. So it is easy to manage the hair on daily basis. One can get hair extensions done if they have short hair and want longer shag. If one’s hair is very frizzy or curly, this style allows controlling the hair. Thicker hair becomes manageable and thin hair appears enhanced.

The shag hairstyle is basically of three types:

  • Short shag: shorter hair with multiple layers
  • Medium shag: style for medium length hair, with quite a few layers depending on the choice, it adds volume to hair
  • Long shag: for long hair, with few layers, as long hair with a multiple layers becomes difficult to manage

Since the hairstyle is such that it depicts a carefree attitude, the style actually also requires no additional care. The hairstyle can be personalised by adding highlights, streaks, bangs, fringes etc. Also, to maintain the shaggy look, hair needs to be trimmed around the ends in short time spans. The products required for hair care for this hairstyle are:

  • Hair dryer: to get the shaggy look every morning
  • Round hair brush: to get maximum fullness
  • Gel: to add spunk to the shag
  • Conditioner: to get smooth hair
  • Frizz control gels: to avoid getting frizzy hair
  • Hair mousse: to add to the volume and get a softer feel
  • Curling iron: to curl your layers to get a more shaggy look
  • Flat iron: to emphasize the layers
  • Spray: to enhance volume
