Shag hairstyle for girl

You can go with anything from a really short haired shag style to a long haired shag style. If you want a little extra self- expression and individuality you might want to color the tips of your hair (very popular for men) or even put some highlights when you get the haircut to give it extra complexity and style.

One of the most important things to consider before getting a shag hair style is the length. Of course a shag can be done on everything from really long hair to very short hair. With long hair typically the outer most layer of the hair is left untouched for the most part and then the inner layers of hair can be cut with the shag to add more volume and style to the hair leaving.

Be careful not to do too much shag to the outer layers or it can quickly end up looking like you have really damaged hair. For medium length hair you can add more layers and a lot more shag to the overall cut. Then for those of us that choose short hair of course the shag can be done everywhere.

Just keep in mind if you are choosing to go with a short shag haircut it can take a great deal of time to grow it out and therefore it is a pretty big commitment. One other important thing to note is if you have really thin hair then a shag is not the cut for you. Yes the shag can add a lot of volume which is a great thing for thin hair but typically the shag will leave wisps of hair and the shag will make thin hair look really unkempt.
