The Modern Shag Alexa Chung has become the poster girl for how to wear the shag. Seriously, it's now impossible to google shaggy hair and not have a visual example of this cut featuring Alexa (and vice versa). She glammed it up and made it cool again, tying our contemporary aesthetic to this haircut gem from the past. "I like to call The Modern shag the "cool girl look" because it adds a bit of edge. It is one of my favorite haircuts to do. With all of the layers and texture, it allows for effortless movement. I especially like this cut for my medium to thick hair girls. Their hair density really allows you to see all of the layers and movement and the true shape of the haircut." —April explains. "With this cut, less is more. This haircut is designed to just fall in place and requires minimal styling. Just blow it out and add texture spray — I will always finish with the Fekkai Full Blown Volume Dry Texturizing Spray, $27, for maximum hold and volume. Maintain regular haircuts every 8-12 weeks."
