Didn’t you get news? The ’70s are back with a fabulous makeover of The Shag Haircut! One of the most iconic looks of that time belongs to Sarah Fawcett, but it was a popular cut at the time. Today, there are many modern interpretations of this haircut, and you are about to discover 101 long shag haircuts and hairstyles for women, which are great and trending right now! Be fabulous and let the ’70s take over again!
One thing we should mention in the beginning is that almost all shag-haircuts feature bangs, so there aren’t many categories, but the layering can be so diverse, that it will be impossible for you not to discover the one you like. Although they look great when free-falling, you can also try different beautiful and easy hairstyles for long hair when you don’t feel like letting yourself down!
There are many posts even with women who cut their hair at home in this style. Not only those who have a TikTok account or are consumers of the content there are fans of this new haircut. Some celebrities decided to cut their hair like that, and the start was given by Billie Eilish. Miley Cyrus quickly followed, writes Oprah.com.
Haircut for any hair type
In other words, this type of haircut can be adapted to the requirements of each woman. If you need a hairstyle that takes you out of anonymity, then don’t rely on your skills. It is best to see a professional: “The major difference is that a stylist will be able to smooth the hair and work in smaller sections to customize.”
Some of this customization includes the use of special texturing scissors to smooth the tips. If you are still wondering if this haircut suits you, you need to know that it is all about attitude. To put it bluntly, experts recommend this type of haircut for women under 30, who want their attention on their side.
How to Shag Hairstyle
Although it works on most hair types and textures, the cut is very much based on layers and volume: “Straight hair will probably take longer to have volume, while curly or wavy hair will quickly fix with a wolf haircut.
The natural texture of the hair will determine how you should style your hair if you use this type of haircut. It is not a hairstyle that you can maintain only by washing and drying your hair. If you do not have much time to deal with the wolf haircut, then it is not advisable to use it. If you do not style your hair, it will look lifeless.
