When heading to the salon, make sure your shag haircut is at least chin length, because it's layered mainly through the crown -- you don't want that area to get too short, lest you end up looking like a Kate Gosselin (pre-extensions) impersonator. According to Salcedo, this haircut looks best when it's collarbone-length or longer.
Suki Waterhouse's long shag haircut is giving us serious mane envy. Use a texturizing product, like Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine, $24,, on damp hair and let it air dry to get a similarly disheveled, sexy texture.

While Salcedo says this hairstyle works best on people with medium to thick hair, it can work on fine hair -- as long as it's done right. "With fine hair, texturizing has to be kept minimal. The focus should be on cutting the hair bluntly," he explains. "Tell your stylist to not remove weight and cut layers more horizontally to add weight and fullness."
If you have a square face like Olivia Wilde, you can soften the angles of your face with a shag haircut. Salcedo recommends round fringe to accompany the layers. "It's all about the right proportions and making your features work for you," he says.
