Prepare to unleash your inner rock ‘n’ roll star with hairstyles that are making a killer comeback: specifically the modern shag haircut. It’s the epitome of cool – effortlessly messy, deliberately casual, and oozing with a “just got out of bed” vibe.

What defines a modern shag? Picture this: choppy ends, layers that crown your head like a heavenly halo, and a bounty of texture that adds an edge to your look. The best part? You won’t look like you’ve just stepped out of an ’80s hair metal band video.

The modern shag is versatile, adapting its wild charm to suit different hair textures as well as lengths. Whether your hair is poker-straight or has a natural wave, the shag’s got you covered. But beware – there’s a thin line between chic and chaos when it comes to layering. Too many layers, and you might risk a choppy, dated appearance.

Now, let’s talk about the crown jewel of this style: the fringe. According to hairstylist extraordinaire Erin Powers, nailing the fringe is the key to achieving the perfect shag. “A great shag has got to have the fringe right,” Powers insists. “If it’s off, then it’s not a shag.”
