A long shag with bangs is a multi-layered haircut with a fringe to frame or create symmetry to the face.
Canada-based stylist Melissa Rose adores how easy-styling and low-maintenance this chop is. “You can wear it with your natural wave or curl it with an iron for a tousled beachy effect,” she states.
One thing to consider before getting a shag is your lifestyle. This includes the amount of time you’re willing to put into styling.
During the consultation, bring photo inspiration. The model must have a similar hair type and texture as you, though, so keep that in mind.
When going for long shags, talk to your stylist about the look you want to achieve. Ask about the maintenance and get some styling techniques.
“Be open to purchasing products like a texture spray to maximize its full potential. A little product and effort go a long way with this cut,” Rose points out.
Despite this shag being a wash-and-wear cut, understand that bangs are a commitment. They need trims no longer than every 4 weeks to keep the length and shape. Opt for longer bangs or layers if you haven’t tried a fringe before and are nervous about this huge change.
Women with finer and pin-straight hair must avoid a long shag. Rose explains, “Adding lots of layers and texture in this hair type can make it look thinner than it is.”
