Medium length shag hairstyles are having a serious moment right now—and for good reason. They’re edgy without being too harsh, playful without being too messy, and they work on just about every hair type and face shape.
Thinking about trying one? Here's why the shag is a go-to cut in salons across the U.S.:
✂️ Low-maintenance layers that grow out beautifully
💁 Volume and texture that flatters thin or thick hair
🎨 Versatile with color —from natural tones to bold brights
🌟 Pairs well with bangs like curtain, baby, or wispy styles
