Will I regret a shag?

They look edgy and cool but am I walking into a hair style disaster?

Would you recommend a shag? Are they as low maintenance and fuss free as they are painted out to be?

Yes, if you're confident your hairdresser knows what they're doing i.e. has experience and tailors it to your hair type.

What's it look like @Bobskeleton

No-one here can really recommend you get a certain hairstyle if we don't know what your hair looks like now.

It might suit you, it might not. You might be able to style it or you might struggle 🤷‍♂️

I wondered why this was in style & beauty 🤣🤣

PoachesPeaches · 18/09/2024 22:16

What is your hair type?

I did this in the 90s and went to ask for a shaggy bob thinking I'd look like Winona Ryder. I did not.

Sparklefroggle · 18/09/2024 22:34

Well this is disappointing.

Yes me too! I had to check which forum I'd gone into.

Depends @Bobskeleton, have a look at one of those websites where they superimpose a hairstyle onto a picture of you.

Same 🤣

BugBugTheTornado · 18/09/2024 22:45

Sometimes surprisingly fabulous, but depressingly overwhelmingly disappointing in my experience (but then I'm usually too tired to put in the required effort, tbf).

Give me something that can be easily managed with a quick blow and a firm grip.

Ponytails all the way! 😂

Watercoloursky · 18/09/2024 22:45

If he's a colleague or your best friend's ex, probably... oh wait, you mean a haircut... well, maybe, maybe not, but if it doesn't suit you, hair grows 😅

BlackFriYay · 18/09/2024 22:45

Oh. Well that's awkward.

I was about to regale you with tales of my many regrettable instances of shit copulation.

Get the hair!

Nope 😂

PickAChew · 18/09/2024 22:46

I had to double check the board this was on :D

It's hair. It grows.

StuckInsideofMobile · 18/09/2024 23:05

If you have a bit of wave to your hair, go for it. I have mine in that style and it's pretty much wash and go because the layers encourage my natural waves.
