Ready to find your own?
1. Layered Shag With Curtain Bangs
If you have thick hair, then layers are your best friend! Layered wavy shag with curtain bangs will not only remove bulk from the hair and make it look less heavy but also frame your face in an effortless and chic way. Yup, this haircut has it all.
2. Voluminous Blonde Wavy Shag
Volume at the crown of your head is a famous shag’s trademark. So, if you want to “go full shag”, then adding volume (read: layers) at the crown is a must.
3. Color Blocking Short Shaggy Haircut
Long gone is the time when long shags were considered most popular. Short shaggy haircuts are gaining more and more popularity as of late. If you want to make your short wavy shag look even cooler, then opt for the color blocking technique which includes pairing contrasting colors together.
4. Pastel Pink Blonde Shag Hairstyle
Wavy shags can also be soft and feminine. A simple way to enhance every layer of your wavy shag is by choosing bright pastel hair colors such as pink and blonde (or a combination of both).
5. Textured And Smooth Long Shag Haircut
More good news: you can choose whether you want your shag to be textured or smooth (as shown in the picture above). Textured wavy shag gives the illusion of more volume, whereas smooth wavy shag is a more polished version suitable for thick hair. Choose wisely!
6. Medium Shag Haircut With Bangs
Curtain bangs and shaggy layers blend perfectly together. Also, curtain bangs on medium-length shags are one of the biggest hair trends this year. So, what are you waiting for?
7. Long Wavy Shag Haircut With Bangs
Even though shags are effortless by default, you can still boost their effortless vibe with the addition of choppy bangs. Shags with choppy bangs look amazing on all hair lengths and hair types.
8. Long Shaggy Hairstyle For Thick Hair
If you have thick hair, it’s high time to de-bulk it and create a flattering shape. You’ll do that by adding lots of layers. Also, adding bangs will help frame your face and make your wavy shag look fashionable.
9. Golden Blonde Short Shag With Bangs
Full bangs and short blonde wavy shag are a killer combination if you want to achieve that effortless, natural look. Pro tip: Keep in mind that golden blonde looks best on warm skin undertones.

70s shags are characterized by plenty of shaggy layers combined with face-framing bangs that are perfectly blended with the rest of the hair. An absolute perfection.

Shaggy bangs are textured bangs of various lengths that help create a tousled appearance. This type of fringe adds a casual vibe to your long, wavy shag. It’s a win-win combination.
12. Textured Wavy Shag With Micro Bangs
Also known as baby bangs, micro bangs fall only a few inches down your forehead. When combined with short or long wavy hair, they create a striking look no one can stay indifferent to. If you opt for a wavy shag with micro bangs, prepare to receive lots of compliments.

Arched bangs are slightly curved and asymmetrical. They are a perfect addition to shaggy layers if you want to draw attention to your eyes. Adding lighter-colored pastel highlights to your dark strands will create the illusion of depth, volume, and texture.
16. Modern Shag Haircut For Wavy Hair
A modern shag haircut is a softer version of a classic shag and it features equally textured layers at your crown and the rest of your hair. This type of shag is not as voluminous as the 70s or 80s shag and is ideal for medium to thick wavy hair.
