Choosing between which trends are worth following and which ones need to be ignored is always a tricky thing. However, there are certain people, mostly celebrities, that people usually turn to for inspiration. It’s a different person for each one of us, but they are there whether it’s about outfits, makeup, or hair. In this article, we will be touching on the subject of the modern shag haircut which is now very trendy and worth trying. We have chosen some of the prettiest examples of the modern shag haircut which might inspire you this year.

The modern shag haircut is often referred to as the “swag,” and it’s one of the hottest hairstyling trends to take over the internet. It’s laid back, effortless, cool, and most importantly, shaggy. It’s all about having textured hair and loose waves that offer this incredibly-beautiful aura of effortlessness. And what’s even cooler about this trend is that it’s so versatile that it can be worn in a thousand styles, colors, and lengths. It’s all up to you, your hair, and your wishes. Without further ado, let’s check out some of the prettiest modern shag haircut examples out there!

1.      Inspired by Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is the fashionista, the It-girl, and the inspiration we all need sometimes. She is also the symbol of the modern shag hair trend put into practice. Her medium-length hair and loose and messy waves are to die for. Paired with her bangs and that hypnotizing look, it’s all coming together the way it should be. But you can adopt this look too, and it’s rather easy to do so. The color of your hair doesn’t really matter, as long as you keep it at a medium length. The loose waves can be easily obtained with a curling wand and kept in place with hairspray. Voila! The modern shag haircut done right!

2.      The Super-Short Bangs

This look can seem a little bit crazy, but it actually works very well incorporated in a modern shag hairstyle. The super-short bangs add a vintage flavor reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. The rest of the hair is textured, and the color left to your choice. This look actually works amazingly-well on someone with a larger forehead who wants to cover some of it.

3.      The Very Short Shag

This is one of the shortest and messiest modern shag haircuts out there. It’s bold, cool, and effortless. It takes no time to style and looks out of a hairstyling catalog. To create some volume and edge, add some short layers at the back. This is surely not a look that’s for everyone, but it looks so cool that it’s difficult to ignore it. The modern shag haircut comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors it seems.

Textured a-line, a great cut to create volume!! #shorthair #aveda #salonbreezechapelhill #alinehaircut #behindthechair #modernsalon
