Modern shaggy haircuts blend lived-in texture and edgy style in a way that makes us want to copy each one we see. At its best when they’re not over-styled, these looks will simplify your daily routine—and give you the coveted cool-girl look. Here’s a selection of low maintenance shaggy haircuts to inspire your coolest transformation.
1. Shag With Curtain Bangs
Pairing shaggy layers with curtain bangs creates a face-framing effect that adds softness and dimension. This combination enhances natural texture and requires minimal styling.
2. Shaggy Lob
The shaggy lob skims the collarbone with lightly layered ends, creating movement without extra styling effort.
3. Curly Shag
Layering curly hair reduces bulk and creates a more manageable, low-maintenance style that showcases the natural beauty of your curls.
4. Medium Hair With Shaggy Layers
Shaggy layers in medium-length hair create movement and depth. Blow-dry upside down for lift, or let it air-dry for a casual, tousled style.
5. Shaggy Mullet
This bold cut combines shorter layers in the front with length in the back—vintage but cutting-edge cool. Style with a texturizing product to highlight the structured layers.
6. Choppy Shag
Choppy shag layers create texture and volume, giving hair a tousled, lived-in appearance. Use a matte styling paste to emphasize the disheveled texture while keeping the ends piecey and defined.
7. Shaggy Bob
The shaggy bob features layers that add shape and movement. This cut looks great air-dried—don’t be afraid of letting your natural texture shine through.
8. Pixie Shag
The pixie shag combines cropped length with feathery layers, creating a textured style. Finger-style it with a lightweight mousse to maintain volume and natural movement.
9. Shaggy Medium Hair
This mid-length shag balances volume with shape—perfect for thick hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to keep the layers airy and separate.
10. Soft Shag
Soft layers add dimension without looking too edgy. Blow-dry with a round brush to create subtle movement or simply scrunch in some styling cream and air dry.
