Will I regret a shag?

[Bobskeleton]

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?

Just looks like layers and a fringe to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

What kind of hair do you have? And what kind of shag are you after - a very fashion led almost mullety one, or just a very layered casual haircut? The latter is what I've had versions of for years and suits my hair which is 'fine but loads of it', naturally has a bit of a wave that I can encourage into quite wavy with a very layered cut. Kind of Stevie Nicks if I was cooler!

Judging by the responses I think most of us did. Had to google what OP was on about!

And for a general answer, not if he was any good!

There's no MAP for haircuts.

No, but if the MAP doesn't work you're faced with a more difficult growing-out phase.

I'd go for a cormorant every time.

It is layers and a fringe! Works with my hair (wavy if encouraged), is practically no maintenance, and easy to cut your own once you know how it works.

On the other kinds of shag 😂 Only if you're in a committed relationship; yes because you can never get them properly clean; [Edited after seeing Errol's reply] yes unless you have a convenient cliff to house one!

Oh I’m disappointed. I thought, finally a woman on my wavelength, just casually mentioning having a shag!

I like the hairstyle. In future can you pop in brackets “shag (hairstyle)” 😂. Although I’m sure you’ll get loads of traffic, mostly of users wondering why you’ve put this question in S&B lol.

How does one ask for one at the hairdresser? I think I'd just go for "layered cut".
I am getting my first haircut in about 18 months on Friday and that style would work on me.

Also thought this was going to be another sort of thread. Having had the hairstyle over 20 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the other sort of shag, I’d say I don’t regret either. Maybe one will lead to the other op?

Ah sorry to be boring, the hairstyle not the bedroom antics... Or the home furnishing 😄

I have a good wave in my hair so thinking it will work but agree it's just hair so can always regrow if it's a big fat fail!

How about a wolf cut OP?

Saw the title and thought that's for me. Made a coffee, got a biscuit, got comfy with my phone... and it's a fucking haircut 🙄

🤣

Sorry @Fannyfiggs 😂

Yes I've looked at wolf cuts, I love the look but not sure I could go that far. The shag feels like a safer bet.

Can we have a pic of the sort of thing please?

….. the hairstyle obvs

I had the original shag hair cut in the 1970s, it was always cut with a razor blade, it bloody hurt when they did it as they pulled your hair at the same time. It was a nightmare to grow out and the razor damaged your hair but did give a very shaggy look.

Also, it was part if a wider look, and You dressed a certain way to go with it. Will have to check out todays shag cuts, any pics?

Depends on your hair type and face shape really, if you have a hairdresser you trust I'm sure they'll be honest with you!

I've regretted my fair share of shags.

Just very nervously googled shags and the modern day version is not really a shag that I remember, just looks like choppy layers.
Got me thinking about 70s shags now...rather wish I hadn't seen the thread..

I had one last year, it looked good for a week and then awful. I had a trim, again great for a week. I’m still growing it out.

A possible combination of the two themes 😁
I always like to have my thyroid checked down at the local industrial estate, in the fog.

I'd say go for it with the hair - nice haircut, looks versatile and easy to floof and go.

How about a wolf cut?

Although tbf, I never turn down a good shag 🤣

This is what I'm thinking. I realise it's probably a softer version of the original shag.

Where?
