The Shag Is the It-Girl Hairstyle Replacing the LobThe modern shag (aka the swag) is the cool-girl hairstyle you need to try |
When you think of shag haircuts, you're probably taken to a dark, disco-ball-lit place filled with bad fashion choices and lots of hairspray. But the new interpretation of the shag haircut is totally far out and modern -- think messy, undone texture and plenty of strategic layers that will make you look more Alexa Chung than Farrah Fawcett.
"The modern shag is different from the '70s shag, because today it is much better executed," says Edward Tricomi, co-founder of Warren Tricomi Salon. "In those days, the ends were cut very blunt, which was nice, but the modern shag is more wispy around the face. Ultimately it is a much more intricate style than it used to be."
And that's why the modern shag (or swag, as it's been dubbed) is the hairstyle that's replacing the lob as the cool-girl's haircut of choice. "This haircut is fun and easy to wear, which definitely explains its popularity," adds Tricomi. "It also looks great on virtually everyone."
Can you dig it? Here, 14 modern shag hairstyles that will inspire you to take your haircut to the max.
