Create Women's Shag Hairstyles

A shag is a great hair style for many women because it can be worn in different ways. While it works best with short and medium length hair, a shag cut can even be worn with long hair. Use these steps to create the best shag cut and style for you.

Instructions

1. Get a shag haircut at your local salon. Know what you want ahead of time in terms of length and bring along pictures for ideas. Add bangs to soften an angular face and choose longer hair if your face is round.

2. Have the stylist cut in many layers in the front and top of your head with a few less in the remainder of your hair if you are going for a short cut. Choose a medium cut with many layers if you want a lot of volume and lift or fewer layers for a more sleek appearance with the focus still around your face.

3. Apply a styling mousse to clean wet hair once it's cut into a shag style. Add a volumizer if you want lift and dry with a hair dryer using your fingers to lift and separate the pieces.

4. Flip the ends of your hair out slightly throughout. Use a styling gel or pomade to mold your hair into a purposely messy look and experiment with different styles. A shag cut can be pulled away from your face or towards it, and the layers can be placed in many different positions.

5. Spray your hair lightly with hair spray once everything is in place. Spray just enough to hold the pieces while still allowing free movement of your hair.
