50 Shaggy Haircuts That Are Perfect for Women Over 50 with Round Faces

My first shag cut on a woman over 50 was a bit of a mistake. She requested a layered bob. I guess during the consultation and first two sections, I perceived that she was after movement, rather than shaping, There’s a difference. Movement uses a shag cut, where the cut looks ‘alive,’ without having to style it. With rounder faces, shag cuts are better because the layers create movement and soft texture to break it up.

The most important thing I have learned is no one cut version works for everyone, and that’s what makes it interesting. Some have almost no texture on their bob, and others have full razored chaos and bright color, but they all have a commonality. It’s about how the layers are actually working. When the layers are placed intentionally, they lift the areas that need it, narrow wide spots, and provide the entire look with an effortless style that improves with age and a bit of texture. I have tried to incorporate a variety of options, and I believe there is a little something for everyone in this.

Choppy Layered Shag with Subtle Highlights

#1: Choppy Layered Shag with Subtle Highlights

This is all about the easy, breezy feel. The layers are light and feathery, and allow movement without adding bulk. If you have finer hair, this is a great way to get fullness without applying a ton of heat and products. The highlights do a lot, too. They break up the surface so there appears to be more texture than there actually is. With those ends losing their purpose as they grow, you’ll need to come in for trims more often than you think, but the day-to-day really is about as easy as it gets.

Dimensional Berry Textured Chin-Length Shag with Face-Framing Feathers

#2 Berry-Toned Chin-Length Shag with Piecey Curtain Fringe

The emotion this style invokes is very interesting! The chin length is working its magic on rounder faces, elongating the area around the cheeks. The curtain bangs push the focus to the center and add some volume while keeping everything open. The color is not too loud, but very nice. The crown is light and airy because of the razor work, and not heavy. Of course with finer hair, you are going to want to use a diffuser and some light hold mousse to give it some shape. The maintenance on the color is going to be a must since vivid reds fade really quickly.

Deep Plum Textured Shoulder-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Fringe

#3 Deep Plum Shoulder-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Fringe

I love the fringe! It’s soft enough that it won’t slice your face in half, but blunt enough that it won’t lose the definition. With this shape we want to maintain that balance. The length gives you versatility for styling, and with that internal layering at the crown you’ll get plenty of lift right where it’s needed. That deep plum is stunning, absolutely stunning, but I’ll be honest, it takes a lot of work to achieve and a lot of work to maintain. You’re going to need pre-lighten, color deposits, texture with a 1 inch iron and some salt spray, and daily work. If you love the color, it will be worth it, just go in knowing what you’re committing to.

Razor-Textured Cherry Red Short Shag with Wispy Micro-Bang

#4 Cherry Red Short Shag with Wispy Micro-Bang

With the right haircut, micro bangs can work on round faces, and this one really does! The razor texture through the sides that feathers out draws the eye more sideways and creates an illusion of a longer face shape. The cherry-red with smudged roots looks amazing. With fine hair, this type of cut creates instant crown lift, so you won’t have to do anything in the morning. With coarser or thicker hair, you may need some thinning at the ends to achieve that soft, separated finish. We know the color will fade, and reds always do, but a good demi-permanent formula stretches things nicely between appointments.

Plum-Rooted Chin-Length Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

#5 Plum-Rooted Chin-Length Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

Everything is doing its job here. The curtain bangs are framing without overbearing, and the point cut texturing breaks up the interior so it doesn’t get too blocky, and that plum root shadow blending down into warmer tones gives tons of visual depth. I spotted the little silver strand at the part that’s been worked in w low-lights instead of covered up, and that’s the kind of detail I was talking about that makes a color look lived in instead of freshly done. The bangs will need a bit of attention each morning and the ends can get a bit frizzy when it’s humid, but a demi-gloss will keep the plum looking fresh instead of washing out too quickly.

Steel-Blue Textured Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Fringe

#6 Steel-Blue Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Fringe

The steel-blue glaze with some silver at the crown is modern and not cheap which is a tricky balance. The face shape is complemented by the silhouette of the cut. The graduated layers at the nape eliminate volume in the back. The layers stimulate movement around the cheeks. A home styling routine is necessary to maintain the look of this cut. Spontaneous blue tones will mean routine toning. For piece-y separation, some texturizing spray will be necessary. The bangs will require trims quite regularly. Overall, the cut looks great when it is freshly done.

Rich Mahogany Shoulder-Length Shag with Razor-Textured Layers and Wispy Fringe

#7 Rich Mahogany Shoulder-Length Shag with Wispy Fringe

The razor technique used here is excellent, as you can see the layers are cut to move separately, and the form is maintained. That is what distinguishes a good shag from one that looks messy by week three. The wispy fringe is a little blunt at the bottom, giving it just the right amount of weight to behave, and on a round face, that combination of shoulder length plus crown lift and plus fringe is super flattering. The rich red mahogany is warm and youthful although you will want a demi-glaze refresh so it doesn’t become brassy and the fringe will need daily smoothing. Adding a root shadow gives you a little time to push back color appointments.

Pastel Pink Layered Shoulder Shag with Soft Curtain Bangs

#8 Pastel Pink Shoulder Shag with Soft Curtain Bangs

Thank you for being gentle with this! The pastel pink is soft instead of harsh or aging, and that is partly due to the low-contrast root melt that keeps things grounded. The ends and internal layers that are razor textured do what they need to without overdoing it. The curtain bangs are long enough to be swept to the side for days you don’t want to fuss with your hair. This does require a pre-lighten, so consider your hair’s moisture and conditioning afterward. The bangs may need a round brush and a quick pass to fall just right. If this color is calling you, it is a lovely way to do it!

Textured Turquoise Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Micro-Fringe

#9 Turquoise Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blunt Micro-Fringe

It seems like an overload of information but I actually really love it! The amount of detail in the micro fringe will help frame and lift the face nicely. The shadow root will give the hair an anchor which will help with the overall structure of the style, allowing it to last longer. The layer detailing with the vertical interior slicing will keep the movement intact without the weight, especially for the thicker hair. There is a diagonal at the nap which also helps to prevent boxiness, especially with the crisp cut and the vertical layering. The cut is doing beautiful things! It will likely fade much quicker than you would prefer it to, but don’t let that scare you! To get that saturated look, a full pre-lightening is necessary. Are you prepared to commit to color refreshes? The cut is doing beautiful things.

Chin-Length Feathered Blonde Shag with Airy Curtain Fringe

#10 Chin-Length Feathered Blonde Shag with Airy Curtain Fringe

Graduated layers are easy to cut, but difficult to describe. The ends are slightly blunt cut, which means that the ends are angled instead of straight across, which makes the shape look cleaner. The hair, in combination with some natural wave, will be self-sufficient and do the work for you. The curtain bangs are not thick enough to be front heavy, but thick enough to bring balance to the shape. The root shadow here with lowlight blends early grey hair really seamlessly. The lowlight will need to be redone and you should expect to use a texture spray for the style, but in general, the daily effort required is more forgiving. Overall, it’s pretty low maintenance.

Textured Chin-Length Shag with Rounded Nape and Side-Swept Fringe

#11 Chin-Length Shag with Rounded Nape and Side-Swept Fringe

The nape is my favorite part. This shape slightly rounded and stacked gives built-in fullness in the back and adds to the entire cut. The side-swept fringe is soft and natural, easing the forehead without drawing attention. Medium to thick hair with natural waves especially looks beautiful like this with some internal stacking and point cutting. However, if your hair is very dense, more aggressive texturizing may be needed to avoid it puffing out at the sides, which may work against what the cut is trying to do for a round face. Also, keep in mind that dark single-process color will show regrowth sooner when planning.

Root-Lifted Shoulder Shag with Soft Curtain Micro-Bangs

#12 Root-Lifted Shoulder Shag with Soft Curtain Micro-Bangs

It has such a beautiful, natural texture that I’m sure will appeal to women looking for a more understated, natural look. The crown area has vertical point-cut layers that create nice volume, and the face-slicing pieces at the front create a slimming appearance without being too obvious. I love how the natural grey in the center part is integrated with the low lights instead of being worked against. It adds to the effortless, purposefully placed look. The micro bangs are wispy enough to not be a huge, everyday labor intensive styling slog, though they may need a little shaping in the morning. As for the precision edge work, you’ll need texturizing shears.

Root-Lifted Chin-Length Shag with Wispy Curtain Bangs

#13 Root-Lifted Chin-Length Shag with Wispy Curtain Bangs

Certain haircuts just work, and this is one of them. The crown layering is short enough to create some real lift, and it works with the little cowlick. She also has curtain bangs that fall at just the right weight to soften but not overwhelm the cut. If you have fine to medium wavy hair, then this will be a really easy, natural shape, so I definitley recommend it! Honestly, a quick round-brush lift at the roots in the morning is really all this is going to take. A demi-permanent colour will blend the greys without it being a whole thing. You’ll be getting that haircut that makes people say “your hair looks great” without being able to put their finger on exactly why!

Voluminous Chocolate Shoulder Shag with Wispy Short Fringe

#14 Voluminous Chocolate Shoulder Shag with Wispy Short Fringe

Check out this style if you have a round face and thick wavy hair. Crown layers that are graduated and feathery layers above the jawline. The short bangs are cute and the layers around the face really pull it all together. The all over chocolate color is a classic look and is an easy one step color. The truth is that thick wavy hair in a shag like this will require round brush blow outs or quick heat styling and an anti-frizz. Fine babylights would add subtle dimension if you want to take it a step further.

Textured Auburn Chin-Length Shag with Soft Fringe

#15 Textured Auburn Chin-Length Shag with Soft Fringe

The inward-facing layers that move laterally across the face will be created by razor texturing. This is perfect for breaking up width in a round face without making the hair too short. The auburn shade is warm, but not too brassy, and the root shadow with lowlights adds dimension that looks effortless. Pretty much everyone looks good with bangs that just brush the eyebrows. You will have to diffuse or round brush the hair to maintain the shape every day, and yes, the color will need to be done again, but the cut is really well done.

Soft Chestnut Shoulder-Length Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

#16 Soft Chestnut Shoulder-Length Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

What I think is the most appealing quality about this one is how gentle it is. Nothing feels aggressive or like they’re straining. The shorter crown layers give you that height, and the point cut ends give some movement. The curtain fringe’s feathered ends open up in a way that is nice and not fussy at all. The root-smudge balayage is a smart technique for grey camouflage because it grows out nicely. This is pretty much wash and go on medium density hair with natural waves. However, if you’re looking for more definition, a loose iron wave or some wave spray will do the trick. If you have very fine hair and low density hair, the layering could thin things out more than you’d like.

Soft Rooted Blonde Layered Shag with Face-Framing Feathers

#17 Rooted Blonde Layered Shag with Feathered Ends

The finish on the ends evokes positive feelings when looking at the overall style. The look has a retro-modern vibe, and the root melt looks good enough for growing out to not be an issue. The internal stacking at the crown is a nice touch, and the darker underlayer gives depth that is sometimes lacking in blonds. That flip will require either a rounded brush blowout or a quick pass with some hot tools. I wouldn’t over-thin the face-framing pieces, because on a rounded face, overly thin pieces can exaggerate the cheeks.

Plum-Purple Textured Shoulder-Length Shag with Side-Swept Curtain Fringe

#18 Plum-Purple Shoulder-Length Shag with Side-Swept Curtain Fringe

The plum-to-magenta shifting color with the silver roots showing is very exciting and the dimension catching the light is even better. The cut is very supporting, with crown lift from the razor texturised layers and a side swept fringe opening the face. It looks great on fine to medium naturally wavy hair as it gives that undone look without a lot of work. The down side is maintenance. These tones require regular attention as they shift and fade. You will also need to blow-dry or use a texturising spray to keep the pieces in place.

Choppy Teal Textured Shag with Piecey Micro Fringe

#19 Choppy Teal Shag with Piecey Micro Fringe

Achieving this teal requires a level 9 or 10 pre-lightening, which does look beautiful, but will start to fade right away. The cut is well done, with razored edges and point cutting that gives real separation and airiness to mid and thick hair. The micro fringe is very flattering, although it will soften. The navy root shadow really anchors everything and keeps it from looking too uniform. With vivid color on textured hair, it is going to take some product and diffusing to get that level of separation, and that is the reality of it.

Voluminous Auburn Layered Shag with Soft Curtain Fringe

#20 Voluminous Auburn Layered Shag with Soft Curtain Fringe

Rather than combat the natural cowlick at the left crown, you’ve opted to work with it, and that’s rather clever because it gives built-in height without any extra effort. The razor-textured ends and some notching work on the curtain fringe incorporate the needed movement on fine to medium hair and also beautifully frame the eyes. This cut does what it’s meant to do, and it’s great and flattering. Just watch how much layering goes through the sides, as a round face, too much layering can create width instead of reducing it. A casual heat style and a gloss treatment now and then, will keep this looking pristine.

Feathered Ginger Chin-Length Shag with Soft Micro-Bang

#21 Feathered Ginger Chin-Length Shag with Soft Micro-Bang

The glowing ginger hue radiates warmth and vibrancy. The short crown layers and point cut ends offer texture and height, and the micro bang fashionably shows the forehead and is soft enough to not feel harsh. The interior thinning removes mass while retaining fullness. She has a crown cowlick used for lift; it’s always nice to work with a cowlick instead of against it. Bright copper fades quicker than most colors due to the properties of red pigments, so the micro bang will need frequent shaping to maintain the look and avoid the appearance of being grown out.

Soft Brunette Chin-Length Textured Shag with Feathered Fringe

#22 Soft Brunette Chin-Length Shag with Feathered Fringe

The best haircuts are often those that don’t shout for attention. This one is great in an understated kind of way. The face framing layers are spot on, the feathery bangs are short and not overpowering, providing softening. The nape’s light interior graduated layering holds the bulk under control. The texture, root smudging, and babylights work together to give lift and depth to what looks soft and wavy. It is great for medium density hair. This is one of the more wearable cuts. Hold the shape with a round-brush blow-dry, to be honest, it’s very low effort.

Vivid Magenta Layered Shag with Wispy Fringe

#23 Vivid Magenta Layered Shag with Wispy Fringe

While the magenta hair color provides a fun pop, the silver accents on the side make it look more sophisticated. The colors together form a natural balance, with silver muted magenta brightens and takes away from the costume-like vibe. The razor sharp cut at the top with closed air ends takes away from the color and adds a lot of extra height, perfect for a crown style. You will need to pre-lighten your hair and get a color filler (to get the correct underbase) prior to this appointment. Quick note; magenta is a very fast fading color, so maintaining color refreshes are a must, along with ammonia-free direct dyes or semi-permanent dyes for the upkeep. If you love it, it will definitely be worth it!

Short Copper Pixie with Feathered Crown and Micro Fringe

#24 Short Copper Pixie with Feathered Crown and Micro Fringe

Have you been thinking about getting a short hairstyle? This hairstyle is particularly beneficial for round-shaped faces! The micro fringe helps take attention off the length of the face, and the tapered nape provides a nice clean finish to the back of the head. The back of the crown has a natural cowlick which will help create a bit of height at the crown! When going as short as a pixie cut, that is a plus! With so little hair to style and take care of, the copper color is totally worth it! Make sure to get some gloss to keep the color from fading! You will have to style it daily but it won’t be difficult at all. You will just need to use some textured paste and let it air-dry. You’ll have to keep in mind that the subtle root smudge will mean that the regrowth will hit you less all at once!

Copper Mid-Length Layered Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

#25 Copper Mid-Length Layered Shag with Feathered Curtain Fringe

This warm copper color is perfect for you! The warm tones along with the beautiful light sun-kissed ends, create a gorgeous effect. The internal stacking of the crown and the 45-degree feathered layers create volume and movement in all the right spots, and the curtain bangs face-framing is doing some great work. On medium-thick hair that is naturally wavy, this hair has a lot of body and bounce. It can get a bit frizzy, especially when it’s humid outside, so you might want to consider a diffuser or blowout as part of your styling routine. To keep the copper looking balanced as it fades, consider a root shadow or gloss.

Magenta Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blended Fringe

#26 Magenta Chin-Length Shag with Soft Blended Fringe

The vivid magenta looks nice and aged with the darker root smudge and some silver threads at the crown. A lived in color is always more captivating than a look that appears freshly done. The bangs and choppy razored layers provide movement and lessen the weight and on medium density hair with a natural wave it all falls nicely. A color this length will require pre-lightening, regular toning and some fringe trims. The cut is forgiving enough that most days you can rough-dry and go.

Textured Short Shag with Micro Fringe for Round Faces

#27 Textured Short Shag with Micro Fringe

The layers are cut in a choppy manner and end point-cut for that clean, shag textured look. The micro fringe softens the face, and is less of a statement. The small crown cowlick is a natural lift and helps with the morning routine. The root smudge technique lowers maintenance to keep up with the cut. To style, rough dry and texturizing cream for piece-y separation. This will take some daily upkeep, especially on the fringe. Overall, this is the easiest shag around.

Chic Textured Shag with Flattering Layers

#28 Chic Textured Shag with Flattering Layers

The textures are a nice touch and make just enough movement to keep the interest, without breaking the shape apart. On fine to medium hair, this gives you the body that actually lasts through the day, which not all layered cuts provide you with. The highlights give enough warmth and dimension without looking like color work. Natural wave or curl will only help here, a quick scrunch with some product and you’re good to go. Straight hair will need a little more, maybe a pass with an iron or some time with a round brush, but not more than that.

Textured Shaggy Cut with Effortless Movement

#29 Textured Shaggy Cut with Effortless Movement

This shag cut has simple styling and lots of versatility. It can look quite undone, which may give off a just-got-out-of-bed vibe. Of course, this can differ depending on your hair. Soft layers give the look of waves and with medium density hair it moves beautifully. If your hair is on the finer side, a wave-enhancing product is going to be necessary. This shag is incredibly voluminous which is great for round face shapes as the added volume is in the right places, avoiding lots of fullness at the cheeks.

Chic Textured Bob with Playful Lavender Highlights

#30 Textured Bob with Lavender Highlights

The lavender color is playful without being childish, and that is a good balance to achieve. It is woven into the cut’s texture rather than just being on top, which allows it to act as an accent color instead of defining the entire look. The soft waves will give fine hair a denser appearance while the bangs will frame your forehead beautifully. The cut is a little above shoulder length, which is good for round faces, because it keeps the visual weight in the upper part of the face and does not pull things down. With lighter fashion colors, it will require a good amount of maintenance to keep them looking fresh, so be prepared for toning appointments, but it will be worth it to receive all the compliments.

Choppy Textured Bob with Soft Bangs

#31 Choppy Textured Bob with Soft Bangs

This haircut has a pleasant feeling with the softness of the bangs, the movement, and the layered texture without fine or medium hair looking thin. It’s a cut that does its job and gets out of the way, which I’d say most of my clients over 50 prefer. It works with all hair colors since the texture carries the look so you don’t even need a vivid dye or dramatic highlights for it to look complete. Regular trims are important here because once those choppy ends grow together you lose the separation that makes the cut look good.

Textured Shaggy Cut with Face-Framing Layers

#32 Textured Shaggy Cut with Face-Framing Layers

The face-framing layers are very well-placed and sit perfectly to soften features without adding any width. The tousled texture of medium-length hair gives an easygoing appearance that I think is more relatable to everyday life than other more primped options. The blended highlights offer just enough contrast to keep the hair from appearing one-dimensional. The layers are going to create volume that feels natural to fine to medium density hair, and the upkeep is pretty easy. This style is meant to look a little messy and it accomplishes that wonderfully; most days, you won’t have to style it with any product.

Soft Layered Shag with Flattering Bangs

#33 Soft Layered Shag with Flattering Bangs

I like the way of working based on the possibilities of the client instead of trying to transform the clients hair into something else. The waves present here create movement and the layers add some structure to the waves. It also provides versatility to the style; hair can be worn back or off the shoulders, and bangs are a great frame but these are not overwhelming. This length on medium density hair provides a perfect balance of movement and mass, to consider for color, a couple of highlights would do the trick but for me this is really pretty just the way that it is.

Textured Shag with Face-Framing Layers

#34 Textured Shag with Face-Framing Layers

Concerning this hairstyle, the cut appears to be doing quite a bit with fairly conservative length and layering. The framing face layers are soft and quite dramatic which can be more flattering on a rounder face than heavy and more obvious layers that draw attention to a cheeky width. The dimension from soft subtle highlights gives depth with out distraction and the mid length is manageable with out being boring. This sort of cut works quite well with finer to medium density hair as it adds volume more softly. Some defining cream through the ends will also help maintain that textured finish.

Textured Shag Cut with Defined Curls

#35 Textured Shag Cut with Defined Curls

Natural curls and waves – fantastic reminder that a shag can also look amazing without being straight and piecey. Those curls by the face do the same thing that razor-textured layers do with straight hair; they create visual interruptions that are really flattering on round face shapes. The shoulder grazing length is super flattering and it keeps the curl pattern light and bouncy. This shape is best on medium texture hair so if it’s finer then a good curl defining product is essential. Just remember not to over-manipulate it, the slight imperfections are what make it look great!

Chic Curly Shag with Soft Layers

#36 Chic Curly Shag with Soft Layers

I always get really excited when clients with curly hair say yes to a shag cut. The results are always stunning! The soft layers create movement, allowing each curl to bounce. For round faces, volume and bounce at the crown are nice to draw the eye up. Most of the natural texture work is done, the layers just give it more mobility. For manageability, medium length is best. Curls reflect light differently at each angle, so with a light balayage, added dimension will be beautiful. This texture will look fabulous, even without color.

Textured Mid-Length Shag with Face-Framing Layers

#37 Textured Mid-Length Shag with Face-Framing Layers

I love the blended bangs on this. They seamlessly melt into the layers framing the face, creating a continuous softening effect from the forehead through the cheeks. With fine hair this length creates volume in the right places and layering gives you a nice, full look just below the shoulders. Textured cuts and bangs lose definition overnight so this will take a bit of work each morning, but it’s definitely worth the time for a look that suits you so well.

Softly Layered Shag with Face-Enhancing Bangs

#38 Softly Layered Shag with Face-Enhancing Bangs

Seeing greys shine through a well-styled shag is praiseworthy. The texture and layering add movement so the greys don’t look dull, and face-framing bangs add softness without the risk of making someone look younger. The shoulder length is ideal as it gives you options in styling, and the cut’s medium density helps it to keep it’s shape. This cut works best on those who are confident in themselves. If you have very thin hair, you may need a volumizing product to help keep the fullness throughout the day, but everything else will be low maintenance.

Chic Textured Bob with Subtle Highlights

#39 Chic Textured Bob with Subtle Highlights

I suggest this type of haircut fairly often. It is adaptable for many people. Soft layers are unstructured enough to be not too harsh and create a nice balance against a round face with the volume at the crown. Fine hair is a single note, while the subtle highlights add dimension, so it’s nice that the highlights are added. Practical manageability is a must for this length. It will take consistent styling to keep that volume, and a quick blowout at the roots goes a long way, but this isn’t the type of cut that falls apart if you skip a day.

Charming Curly Shag with Soft Bangs

#40 Curly Shag with Soft Bangs

For customers wishing to work with their hair instead of against it, this style is ideal. The gentle bangs blend with the curl pattern to offer a face-framing effect, and the medium length provides the most styling options. Curls also provide volume to fine hair that is often hard to achieve even with a salon blowout, which is one of the greatest advantages of embracing your natural hair. A curl enhancer will help keep your hair defined in between washes and the look is intended to be a bit messy so the maintenance will be less than you expect.

Softly Textured Shag with Playful Curls

#41 Softly Textured Shag with Playful Curls

The layering technique is the primary feature here. The volume at the crown and softness through the ends create a nice vertical emphasis on round faces without trying to add height. The medium length keeps everything manageable while the curls will perfectly face frame and the light airy density means it will never feel heavy. Maintaining curl definition is a reality with textured cuts so styling products will be necessary, but it isn’t a complicated routine. A scrunch and some product is pretty much all you need to do.

Soft Shag Cut with Effortless Waves

#42 Soft Shag Cut with Effortless Waves

The seamless incorporation of the bangs and layers is one stylistic choice that I appreciate immensely. There are no abrupt cut offs where the fringe ends and the rest of the cut begins, which contributes to an especially chilled and laid back vibe. The bangs form a medium-length wave, which adds both texture and movement, while the rest of the hair, that is natural and slightly wavy, and the layers, create volume to fine hair without making it look like there is less. Ideally, the finished look will be effortless and you shouldn’t have to fuss with it a lot. That being said, a wave-defining spray is recommended to hold everything in place throughout the day.

Chic Soft Shag with Wispy Bangs

#43 Chic Soft Shag with Wispy Bangs

This gives an everyday aesthetic and a nice soft feel to the face with some added movement, plus, it’s easy to maintain. The shoulder-length layers add some body to the fine, wavy hair. This cut is good and complimenting to a round face and the nice thing is it doesn’t take too much to look good. The fun, textured layers add a little volume to the rest of the hair. If your hair is a bit on the thinner side, this route may not be the best as the whole look relies on a more airy lighter feel.

Softly Textured Shag with Face-Framing Layers

#44 Softly Textured Shag with Face-Framing Layers

This hairstyle is great whether you want your hair to look nice or if you want something easy to do. The soft layers around your face frame your look and layers at the crown give a youthful look without looking desperate. The soft waves look relaxed and can even work for dressy occasions. If your hair goes flat in the afternoon a little product will keep everything in place throughout the day. With the layers this hairstyle is perfect for low maintenance.

Chic Textured Pixie Cut with Subtle Lavender Highlights

#45 Textured Pixie Cut with Subtle Lavender Highlights

I can appreciate a well done pixie on a round face as it helps to frame the features. In this case, the lavender highlights break up the fine hair and add some visual interest without having to rely on the cut, and the texture is not too harsh and keeps it from being too structured. In fact, low density hair is a plus here because the pieces separate in a rather spontaneous way and create a lived in look. The trade-off with a short pixie cut is that you will need to maintain that shape with more frequent salon visits, but you won’t have to put a lot of effort into styling it, and the whole cut will feel fresh and modern.

Textured Curly Shag with Soft Layers

#46 Textured Curly Shag with Soft Layers

Shags pair beautifully with natural curls. In this example, every curl has space created by gentle layers to spring and bounce. The natural, face framing effect is as if the hair made that decision on its own. The cut is just above the shoulders, which prevents the weight from pulling the curls and losing their shape. Fine hair is looser and softer, and curls provide the volume that straight hair people would spend hours trying to create. A light curl refresher spray between washes maintains curl definition.

Modern Shaggy Lob with Face-Framing Layers

#47 Modern Shaggy Lob with Face-Framing Layers

There is a sense of calm and classy that this lob gives off. The slight face framing layers soften a rounder face, making sure not to have a big impact. The shoulder grazing length gives you the option to have this up or down, whatever you feel like doing. The subtle shine is a reflection of healthy hair, and is actually a lot more beneficial to a cut than any kind of layering. Those with fine or medium density hair often struggle with this and instead settle for the illusion of fullness. When a daily routine is this effortless, it makes the shape and layers of the cut something worth maintaining to keep refreshed.

Soft Textured Shag with Wispy Bangs

#48 Soft Textured Shag with Wispy Bangs

This style presents rich cuburn and warmth and chin length layers with wispy bangs offer your overall look more approchability. This is best for a rounder face shape. It presents a warm inviting style ealing as if hair is in a friendly quarrel. It feels like a total agreement to let the hair do whatever in the mornings! This style is ideal for fine to medium hair that holds style and doesn’t require a ton of product. The bangs are wispy enough for full commitment. The ends will need to be trimmed every so often, but the maintenance is really not bad at all.

Stylish Textured Shag with Effortless Volume

#49 Textured Shag with Effortless Volume

I love the natural grey in your hair! It gives the cut a lot of dimension. The layers add movement and lift at the shoulder area which is very flattering for a round face. The soft waves prevent the hair from looking flat or one-dimensional. Grey hair can feel coarse or wiry, and this cut works with the hair texture. Depending on your hair type, you may want a smoothing cream or a light wave-enhancing product, but this is more about letting your natural texture shine through.

Textured Shag Cut with Soft Bangs

#50 Textured Shag Cut with Soft Bangs

Thank you for your compliments. Bangs framing the face always look good and not too over the top. The shoulder length layers are also going to add volume and be low maintenance, and the highlights are going to help the fine hair catch the light, which is nice. The best part is that you can style it, but you don’t have to. It’s low maintenance. This cut is very easy to care for, you just need to come in for regular trims and you are good to go. It worst if you don’t come in for trims often, but it will look weird if you don’t come in for trims often.
