#80: Shagged Cut with Soft Curls for Women Over 40

A medium shag with bangs and soft curls is perfect for women over 40. It’s by far one of the most stylish and trendy ways to show off curls. A tip for keeping your hair hydrated at night: sleep with a humidifier to enhance texture and shaggy layers. Try a silk pillowcase to keep the curls happy all night long.

A medium shag with bangs is a multi-layered haircut that creates an effortless, tousled style. The length is between the shoulders and collarbones—not too short or long.

What’s best about shag haircuts is its versatility and distinctive style. Stylist Theresa Przybyla of Austin, TX, says, “It brings out the natural body in the hair. The layers encourage movement and volume.” Bangs are a great addition. They can frame your face and accentuate your best features if cut correctly.
