Shag Hair Style

For the purpose and intent of the instructions listed here, we are going to say that you too have a wide forehead and excellent facial features, such as a nicely proportioned nose and a full mouth.

The first step that you will want to take to create your hair backdrop for the shag style is start with dry hair. It is much easier to manipulate dry hair than it is to manipulate wet hair.

If you do want to wash and condition your hair prior to starting this style, it is absolutely essential that you take the time to ensure that it is thoroughly dried prior to styling.

Now, it is time to section off the hair. You will want to separate the bangs for the back side of the hair. The best way to do this is to pull the back side of the hair back into a ponytail.

Once this is completed, you should brush the bangs straight down. It is often best to use a brush that is considered to be radial for styling the hair in a shag manner.

Once the bangs are brushed down, you should spritz them lightly with a leave in conditioner. This helps to add shine and smoothness to them.

Then, you should place some mousse on the bangs in order to hold them in place. Once this is done, you should then brush them straight down again.

Now you are ready to move to the back of the hair. While it is still in the ponytail, you should then lightly tease the hair with a radial brush and apply a bit of hairspray – not too much, though.

Now, you should let the hair down, brush it lightly, ensuring that there is some pulled over the shoulders and it kind of sprouts out on the sides, much like wings.

Once this is done, simply spray the hair with hairspray to set it and blow it over in the back with a diffuser on low setting.

If you want to achieve the "shaggy" style for your hair, these simple steps will help you do just that! Now, you can enjoy the splendor and style of the shag for yourself.
