Ready to take the jump and rock a shag haircut? Maybe you already have this super fun and on-trend look but you want to know how to play around with it. Whatever the case is, you're in luck—the major perk of "the shag" is that it's a breeze to style. Here, we'll teach you how to give "I just woke up like this" vibes or "I'm basically a red carpet celeb" elegance with just a few products you probably already have. So, pop on over to your bathroom mirror, vanity, or at-home beauty station to get started. When you're all done, you'll look like you stepped out of a magazine.
Things You Should Know
- To combat frizz right away, use texturizing products, like sea salt spray for curly or wavy hair or texturizing spray for straight hair, while your hair is still damp.
- Right before you dry your hair, volumize it—massage curl cream into curls or waves and apply either mousse or styling cream to straight hair.
- Dry your hair carefully. Scrunch curls or waves with a microfiber towel and dry them with a blow dryer that has a "diffuser" attachment; let straight hair air dry.
- Touch up your bangs as a finishing touch. Use a blow dryer and a round brush to blow out fringe bangs or a curling iron to create curtain bangs.
