A shag haircut offers choppy ends and tousled layers that flatter a gal. The typical features that make up a shag hairstyle include choppy layers around the crown and lots of texture. The modern shag is choppy and has lots of texture but doesn’t make you look like you’re in a rock band. It works on almost every hair texture and length. Too many layers can make this style appear a bit too choppy and dated so I like to start the layers between temple and lower ear depending on your face shape.
