Transform your style with the shag haircut

Have you ever wondered how to give your clients a fresh and modern touch? Look no further! The shag haircut is the answer you’ve been searching for. Discover all the secrets of this style in this article so you can transform the appearance of your clients in a unique way.

What is the shag haircut?

The shag haircut is a hairstyle characterized by short and messy layers, with bangs and a carefree texture. This cut became popular in the 1970s, thanks to rock stars like Mick Jagger and David Bowie, and has since been reinvented several times, becoming increasingly popular.

Benefits of the Shag Cut

By choosing a shag haircut, you offer more than just a simple makeover. This versatile style brings unique benefits that could revitalize the appearance of your clients:

  • Volume and Texture: The layers of the shag cut add volume and texture, bringing hair to life in a unique way.
  • Easy Maintenance: It stands out for its ease of care, ideal for those seeking a hassle-free style.
  • Adaptable to Different Lengths: Whether short or long, the shag cut is adaptable and customizable for your clients’ style and length.

How is the shag haircut done?

To perform the shag haircut, various hairdressing tools are needed, such as scissors, cutting combs, razors, and styling cream. The basic principle of the shag haircut is to create messy layers, starting from the crown and working downward. Hair should be cut at different lengths, creating a carefree and easy-to-manage texture. It is essential to work with the natural texture of the hair to achieve the best result.

Care and Maintenance of the Shag Haircut

Once you’ve chosen the shag haircut, teach your clients how to properly care for it with these simple tips:

  • Regular Trims: Schedule regular appointments with your stylist to maintain the shape and length of the cut. A shag cut benefits from consistent maintenance to prevent it from losing its characteristic style and shape.
  • Deep Hydration: Since the shag cut often involves layers and texture, it is crucial to keep the hair well-hydrated to prevent frizz. Use hair masks or oil treatments to provide deep hydration to the hair.
  • Specific Products: Use products designed to enhance the texture of the shag cut. Volumizing shampoos and conditioners or those designed for wavy hair can help highlight the layers and shape of the cut.

The shag haircut is an exciting and stylish option for those looking to refresh their image. From its easy maintenance to its adaptability, this style offers a perfect solution for those who want a hassle-free change.
