THIS SEASON’S SHAG CUT
For those of us in the know, the shag cut is nothing new. It’s been spotted on the likes of glam-rockers both past and present, and has remained a popular choice for off-duty models walking the streets of Paris and Milan. With the popular vote for hairstyles currently residing in the company of rounded layers and softer face-framing curtain bangs, it is no wonder that bombshell blowout’s edgy twin has decided to return to us with—as always—an added, or rather, extended twist.
The Long Bohemian
If the 2010’s were marked by their affinity for waterfall braids and ombré, center parts and dimensional length will surely do the same for the 2020’s. “The lob” is out, and the waist-long waves are in. Think low-maintenance. Think lived-in, or beachy curls, and chaotic layers. Think carefree boho-chic.
For reference, we’ve included some of our favorite versions of the cut, but if you need further convincing before committing to a salon appointment, check the locks of celebrities like Dakota Johnson, Jenna Ortega, Suki Waterhouse, and Halle Berry.
Maintaining the Look
Every style involves some degree of upkeep, however, this one requires hardly any. Rejoice in the ability to leave your velcro rollers, no-slip clips, and tower of freeze-hold serums in their cubbies. Should minimizing your hair care regimen be on your list of potential New Year’s resolutions, you’ve clicked the right editorial.
In all truth, the success of the look falls on the haircut itself, so if you want to play that game, get the cut, keep the layers trimmed, and wipe your hands of any supplementary steps. But, if you are seeking simple ways to enhance your shag to cinematic heights, here are the products to help:
