The Shag Is the It-Girl Hairstyle Replacing the Lob

The modern shag (aka the swag) is the cool-girl hairstyle you need to try

Swag for Days
Suki Waterhouse's long shag haircut is giving us serious mane envy. Use a texturizing product, like Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine, $24,, on damp hair and let it air dry to get a similarly disheveled, sexy texture.

Swingy Shag
While Salcedo says this hairstyle works best on people with medium to thick hair, it can work on fine hair -- as long as it's done right. "With fine hair, texturizing has to be kept minimal. The focus should be on cutting the hair bluntly," he explains. "Tell your stylist to not remove weight and cut layers more horizontally to add weight and fullness."

Work It
If you have a square face like Olivia Wilde, you can soften the angles of your face with a shag haircut. Salcedo recommends round fringe to accompany the layers. "It's all about the right proportions and making your features work for you," he says.
