Short Shag Hairstyle: A short hairstyle is the wackiest, yet trendy look to be donned. While giving shag hairstyle to short hair, remember that there are more layers cut at the crown of the head rather at the bottom. Keeping the length intact, the shag hairstyle gives a lot of volume to the overall hair. As the hair near the ear is not trimmed, one can easily tuck them behind. However, to make the look more manageable, it is ensured that the farthest layer from the crown is the longest. This provides sleekness and free flow to the hairstyle. Moreover, to tame this wild look it can be customized as per your own distinct personality. This includes the amount of layers to be given in your hair, which is quite dependent on the type of hair you have and the shape of your face. To enhance the look, you can get the hair strands on different levels rolled out. This will give you an untamed appearance. For adding zing to the overall arrangement, one can even use hair color to highlight the hairstyle.

 

Medium Shag Hairstyle: Those with medium length hair can opt for this sassy haircut. Though this does not work very well for very curly or frizzy hair, it can still be experimented. For medium hair, there are levels both in the front as well as the back. The ends can be both uneven and tapered or uniformly covering the face, depending upon the look you want to wear. For a messy yet sexy look, those with straight hair can get their hair slightly waved and leave people entangled in charisma. The greatest advantage of this haircut is that it even looks good if the hair length is overgrown.

 

Long Layered Shag Hairstyle: Not everyone can carry off short hair shag hairstyle. To be fair, the short one does look way bolder and edgier. You need a certain typical sort of personality to carry it off. If you love the shag hairstyle but you do not want to overdo it then keeping it long is your best bet. Does not matter if you have pin straight hair or wavy hair or even if you have got the crazy curls, you can pull the long shag layered hairstyle off.
