Every now and again, I come across a hair trend that I just know is going to be cool for years to come. First it was the bob hairstyle, then it was the pixie cut, but lately everyone has been talking about the shag hair trend. No, this hairstyle isn’t new, but it’s had a revival over the last few years, and it seems that people can’t get enough.
If you’re not familiar, this hairstyle involves lots of choppy layers (focusing a lot on face-framing pieces) and an abundance of texture and movement throughout the roots and ends. It looks incredible on all hair types, hair lengths and hair colours, and pairs perfectly with statement fringes and curtain bangs. Lots of experts have acknowledged the want for low-effort, laidback hair trends this season, so I do not doubt that we will be seeing the shag hairstyle everywhere this summer.
