Welcome to the world of cool Looks! The tousled shag is like having that perfect "I just got out of bed but somehow look amazing" hair every single day. This hairstyle is all about embracing texture, movement, and that beautifully undone look that seems casual but is actually intentional.
What I love most about this cut is how it works with your hair's natural texture rather than fighting against it. Got some natural wave? The shag cut enhances it. Hair that tends to be a bit frizzy? The layers help distribute that texture in a way that looks intentional and stylish. Even if your hair is naturally straight, the varied lengths create movement that you might never have known you had.
Styling this look is where the fun really begins. The goal is controlled chaos, and there are so many ways to achieve it. When you wash your hair, scrunch in some texturizing mousse and let it air dry for a perfectly imperfect finish. Want more definition? Use a diffuser on low heat. A special occasion? Twist random sections around your finger while the hair is damp, then gently separate the curls once dry.
The maintenance is refreshingly simple. Because the cut is supposed to look a bit undone, you can go longer between trims: usually eight to ten weeks. The layers grow out naturally, and that slightly grown-out look actually adds to the style's appeal. It's perfect for anyone who wants to look stylish without spending hours in front of the mirror.
