For those looking for a modern and cool style, the shaggy cut is the trend of the moment. If messy was bad before, now it’s style.
There was a time when wearing messy hair was synonymous with carelessness and everyone did everything they could to avoid giving that idea away. However, times are different, and currently more modern and funky haircuts are on the rise. An example of this is the shaggy cut, a more retro hairstyle, inspired by the 70s, where layered cuts were a sensation among rock stars.
Now, the shaggy cut is back in full force, proving that the “messy” and full of movement style is the best choice for those looking for a modern, cool and very beautiful look. The difference with this cut is precisely the layered layering along the length, resulting in loose and disconnected ends. Here, the messier the hair, the more stylish it will look. And best of all, it’s a super democratic cut, for all hair types, lengths and faces.
So, if you were looking for a cut to change your look, you might want to invest in the shaggy. Therefore, today we will talk more about this cut that is a sensation among fashionistas and of course check out a list of incredible style inspirations.
Corte Shaggy
Layered cuts tend to be very popular among women, in different strands and lengths. In the case of the shaggy cut, the idea is to combine disconnected ends with layers and strands layered throughout the length of the hair. The result is modern hair, with a messy look, with long and shorter parts, and a super cool look like a rock star. In fact, it reminds me a little of the look of hair after waking up, but in a good way.
The pioneers of this style of cut were the rock stars of the 1970s, such as singer Joan Jett. Therefore, it is a retro look that is now revamped and very modern. The good thing about this cut is the possibility of giving more volume to finer hair and controlling frizz in curlier hair.
Thus, the style is back with everything now, being ideal for those looking to innovate their look and adhere to a lighter and more relaxed style, and for some even bold. And from short to long, going through medium length, shaggy hair goes very well with any length. With bangs or without, straight or curly, the shaggy cut works great for everyone, without exception.
Shaggy Effect
Achieving this messy effect that the shaggy cut provides is not as difficult as it seems. Due to the layers, it can be a little scary to put the scissors in and achieve a different result. In practice, this cut is made with graduations, which can be along the entire length of the hair, starting at eye level or just at the ends. The key point is to play with longer and shorter strands, the more disjointed the better the result.
But it’s important to adapt the cut to your hair type. In this way, the upper layers can be cut according to the characteristics of the strands, and can be used to reduce volume in very full hair, or to give a more striking and voluminous finish to finer hair.
The trick is in the distance between one layer and another, the greater the interval, the better to balance the volume of the strands, and the closer they are, it will have a much more voluminous and fuller effect that does not happen naturally with thinner locks. Now, if you want to go for the look, but want a more controlled volume, you can focus on the graduations at the ends, starting the layers from ear height or chin level.
But beyond the cut, to achieve the shaggy effect it is very important to invest in a good finish. Therefore, bet on the messy hair effect to make your hair as messy and disconnected as possible, offering a laid-back look full of attitude. It is very important that the strands remain loose and free so that the movement guarantees the disheveled appearance that is the charm of the cut.
Shaggy cut for different hair types
As previously mentioned, the shaggy cut is a model that suits all lengths and types of hair. It looks incredible on long and short hair, although it is mostly used on medium length, there are no restrictions on this.
In long hair, the cut provides more movement and lightness to the strands, due to the different gradations. So, to prevent the strands from looking empty, the ideal is to distribute the layers more evenly, to make the base of the strands straighter and thus maintain the density of the look.
The medium shaggy, the most common model of this trend, with a length around shoulder height. In this case, the layers are made along the entire length of the hair, generally starting at the eye line.
