How do I know a shag will suit me?

"The modern shag suits pretty much everyone; it all just depends on where you start that first layer. Think of it like you think of a fringe—keeping layers longer will suit rounder face shapes, if you have a longer oval face shape you can slice the layers in shorter," says Scandizzo.

"If you want to take your longer hair to short but don't want to commit to the lob, the bob or the pixie, the modern shag is a great option. It's a transition cut, so you can go from long to short without making it such an extreme change."

"The best thing about a shag is it actually suits most hair types and textures, too. It looks amazing on curly hair when done right."

Are there any hair types the shag won't go for?

"I wouldn't recommend the shag if your hair was super fine because it will peter out to nothing at the ends and make hair look even finer."

"For medium-fullness hair, it can make hair look thicker and give the illusion of more hair because you're creating more texture and volume."
