These piece-y cuts are low upkeep, too as they are all wash-and-go and grow flawlessly into sexy wolf cuts. Having that said, here are some inspirational ideas for you.

Gorgeous Mixie Cuts

Plenty of texture and correct styling is the key to setting these mixie haircuts on fire.

1. Soft Mixie with Bardot Bangs

Mixie cuts come with all kinds of bangs thus making them a must-try for ladies with big foreheads.

You don’t need to vary the length very much. Start with tapered Bardot bangs that elongate gradually towards the back along the sides for a soft and elegant appeal.

2. Yellow Blonde Crop, Pointy Sides

Those who love a boyish look can go for a textured top that shortens towards the back with a sharp V-cut above the nape.

Accent those barely-there baby bangs with pointy sideburns and finish off with a funky yellow-blonde hair shade to look like a real-life anime character.

3. Highlighted Shag

Pixie mullets are cropped shags featuring a feathered crown. They are perfect to take the bulk away from their thick tresses or add volume to thin hair.

Opt for blonde highlights for a feminine touch and blow dry your mane achieving a messy yet sexy finish.

4. Neon Blue Mess

The boldest haircuts demand the brightest hair colors. Look like a rock star by painting your head in a vibrant blue nuance with a touch of frosted platinum at the front.

Use razors instead of scissors to cut short jagged layers that are a tad bit longer at the back.

5. Fully Feathered Pixie Mullet

Give off some cool 70s vibes by coupling your pixie mullet with feathered layers. Keep the strands on top of the head short with prominently longer sides and back for a disconnected look.

Tousle the hair forward to frame the face and done!

6. Curly Beauty

Mixie haircuts work with all hair textures from straight to curly and wavy. Embrace your natural coils by layering them when dry maintaining a proper difference in length between the front, sides, and back.

Use a curl-defining leave-in conditioner to keep your hair bouncing!

7. Layered Wavy Mullet

Layers when done on wavy hair don’t need much styling. Hand-tousle the strands while flipping out those curtain fringes using a barrel brush.

Platinum babylights on a cool blonde base are ideal to add a subtle glow to the face. Plenty of texture is the key here.

8. Funky Color Split

Take a break from styling your locks by snipping them super short. Go for crescent-shaped baby bangs to frame the face leaving one to two inches of hair on the neck.

Dye half of the head midnight blue leaving the remaining part black to drop some jaws.

9. Androgynous Mixie Cut

Break gender stereotypes with a bold pixie mullet haircut like the one depicted here. Shave the sides sparing strands in the middle of the head like a mohawk.

The jagged front is just everything one can ask for in the case of naturally straight hair.

10. Pink Pop with Uneven Bangs

Be bold, be beautiful! Make sure your mullet-like pixie is one of a kind by dying it in the brightest magenta-pink nuance. Couple your messy top with smooth yet uneven bangs at the front.

Bleach your brows and get ready to pop some eyes on the way!

11. Choppy Bixie

Reluctant to try a funky mixie all of a sudden? Keep it low-key by getting plenty of wispy layers that elongate softly towards the back much like a choppy bob.

Flick out those thin ends when blow-drying your mane and there you go!

12. Textured Top + Extra Long Sideburns

Though pixie mullets allow you to play with varying hair lengths, snip the back short while keeping the sideburns extra long for a change.

Set the look on fire with a textured top, some wispy bangs, and a blonde hair color with dark roots. Eye-catching!

13. Copper-Colored Short Chop

Enjoy being a redhead with a copper-colored mane. Retain the pixie-like look of your short shag by keeping the strands at the back almost equal to the micro bangs at the front with a handful of layers.

Curl your sideburns forward and you’ll love them!

14. Dip-Dyed Back

Ladies with a thinning mane can achieve some volume and body with a feathered crown that elongates downwards.

Make your long back more noticeable by dipping the ends in a blonde hair color. Get a little extra and do the same for your bangs too.

15. Two-Toned Mullet

Why stick to blonde shades when there are so many colors to choose from? Retain those choppy layers only on the crown region with a smooth front and back.

Grab any two of your favorite nuances and apply them separately on the top and bottom region for a multi-textured two-toned mixie cut.

16. Messy Bowl Cut Vibes

Incorporate the features of a long mushroom/bowl cut to turn your pixie into something very unique. Ask for arched blunt bangs that merge into your long side locks with a disconnected layered back.

Don’t forget to throw in some highlights too!

17. Wispy Rose Gold Layers

This hairdo is pretty much what mullets looked like in the past i.e. a forward-swept top with a shoulder-length messy back, and pointy sideburns.

Opt for mauve roots that turn rose gold towards the tips for a feminine appeal. Razored layers will work wonders both for thick and thin hair.

18. Buzzed Salt and Pepper Mixie

You’ll be thankful for those natural grays once you get to try this salt and pepper pixie mullet.

The top tapers towards the buzzed sides while the sideburns and the strands just above the nape are about an inch in length. No hair combing required for weeks!

19. Color-Blocked Face Frame

Short haircuts are ideal to set your facial features on full display. Here’s a super shaggy version of your face-framing mixie cut featuring a heavily razored top, wispy side locks, and blunt bangs.

Dye your strands red all along the hairline including the bangs for a color-blocked hairstyle.

20. Purple Faux Hawk

Make use of your curly hair texture to transform your mullet-like pixie into a funky faux hawk. The trick lies in clipping the sides, shaving your sideburns, and skipping a very long back.

Color your curls on top in a vibrant purple hue or any other color of your liking.

21. Classic Punk Mullet

Classic short mullet hairdos from the past also included shaved or faded sides that you can still rock today to impart a slimming effect to the face.

Although the rest is usual with a textured top, short bangs, and a long back, that fiery orange hair color is sure to stun many.

22. Scarlett Johansson’s Flared Shullet

Celebrities and models have played a big role in setting mixie haircuts into trend. Here’s a look inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s flirty 2000s look.

Recreate the style with smooth short curtain bangs and a jagged top with a flared back featuring flipped-out tips.

23. Sleek Arched Fringe + Choppy Back

Accent the round shape of your face with arched bangs that start short in the middle and elongate toward the sides ending with curled sideburns.

Couple your sleek front with a slightly longer choppy back that requires a mere hand tousle to be styled.

24. Mixie for Thin Hair

Pixie mullets can be a lifesaver for women with fine tresses as the shorter the hair, the healthier it looks.

You might skip the long back to get a soft rounded hairdo with cropped bangs. Scrunch your layers, whether curly or not, to achieve the much-needed body and dimension.

25. Half-and-Half Mullhawk

The mullhawk features a long tail at the back with central layers paired with short or shaved sides and of course some bangs.

Express your bold side with a half-and-half hair look keeping one side pink while the other neon green.

26. Curtain Bangs on Mini Mullet

The iconic curtain bangs look as mesmerizing with short haircuts as they do with longer hair lengths.

Frame your face with middle-parted tapered fringes and short choppy layers that end in a tail at the back. A blonde balayage will make a huge difference though.

27. Groovy Green Razor Cut

Piece-y layers with distinct chunks at the front and back are exactly what you need if you’re experimenting with a mixie cut for the first time.

Get wild and try an emerald green hair color with patches of neon green in between. Stunning, isn’t it?

Though the mixie cuts enlisted above are unique in their own way, all of them feature short tops with bangs, elongating sides with the back being the longest, and plenty of texturizing layers. And this is exactly what you need to ask your hairstylist when getting your first pixie mullet!

The post 30 Best Shag Haircuts for Women Over 60 to Wear in 2024 appeared first on Hairstyle Camp.

Read on to learn about the specifics behind wolf haircuts and shag haircuts to find out which is best for you.

What Is Shag Haircut?

The shag haircut rose to fame in the 70s when blonde actress Jane Fonda started wearing it. The haircut includes several layers of different lengths to create an edgy image for either sex.

The layers on the top and side of the head are feathery, and they thin out toward the fringes, making the hair appear fuller around the crown of the head.

The layers at the bottom of the head have more length, allowing clients to keep their hair long while adding volume and texture.

Some choose to add blunt bangs to their shag haircut, while others let the layers fall naturally to frame their face.

Shag haircuts have made a resurgence in recent years, likely to fit with the new generation’s intentionally messy aesthetic. Before the early 2020s, the public most recently sought after the cut in the late 90s when Jennifer Aniston popularized it as “the Rachel haircut.”

The cut is choppy, creating the exciting and fresh look Paul McGregor intended when he first cut Fonda’s hair.

What Is Wolf Cut?

The wolf cut combines elements of the shag haircut with a mullet for a wild look with a ton of personality. The layers on a wolf cut are uneven, with shorter hair at the front and the sides and longer strands toward the back of the head.

The graduated layers trace the side of the head, allowing the strands to frame the face. Some people add blunt bangs to the layers that come with the wolf cut.

The name comes from the wild final product and the ears poking out from behind the layers, which creates a bit of a wolf-boy look.

The wolf cut became popular in the 70s, shortly after the shag haircut. The recent resurgence comes from pop stars like Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus, who fit right in with the timeless, edgy look.

What Do Wolf Cut and Shag Haircuts Look Like?

coiffeurstory|logicalharmony

The wolf and shag haircuts use choppy layers to create a fierce impression. However, there are some critical differences in the cuts.

The layers of a wolf create a face-framing look. On the other hand, the layers in a shag cut give volume to the top of the head. This difference comes from which parts of the head have layers.

In a shag haircut, the layers are on the front, back, and sides. If you were to look at a 360-degree shag haircut, you would see choppy layers everywhere.

However, a wolf haircut only layers the front and side pieces. Much like a mullet, the hair in the back stays long. The layers trace the face as opposed to circling the crown.

You can do either cut with or without bangs, and they provide a painless punk rock look.

What Are The Differences Between Wolf Cut and Shag Cut?

Shag and wolf cuts have more in common than not, but there are still some differences.

You may wonder if the wolf cut or shag haircut suits your face shape and hair type. Remember that a shag haircut will flatter most face types, but the intense volumizing look at the top of the head may make your face appear shorter.

So, many people with shag haircuts have ovular faces or angular chins. So, if you have a round face, you may want to go with a wolf haircut.

Wolf haircuts suit round faces with flattering face-framing layers, but they can create volume for any head shape without distorting the face.

Thin hair and thick hair work well for either haircut, but medium to thick is best for a shag haircut. The thicker your mane, the more volume the layers will create without styling.

If your hair is thin, you may need to style it more often to maintain that volume.

A wolf cut is ideal for thin hair. It volumizes to make your hair look thicker but requires less styling. Thick hair will do well in a wolf haircut, but it is a real knockout in a shag haircut.

If your hair is straight and you want to try one of the two, opt for a wolf cut. The results will be more noticeable around your face than on the back of your head.

So, here is a comparison table showing the differences between wolf cut and shag cut.

Are There Any Similarities Between Shag and Wolf Cut?

The shag cut and wolf cut have similar wild, funky vibes. They are both experiencing a resurgence after a few decades of on-and-off relevance since their inception in the 1970s.

Neither wolf nor shag haircuts are particularly pricey. Your hairstylist will not do much more work for one of these cuts than a regular styling cut. Expect to pay anywhere between $70-$120 for a style and blowdry at your local salon.

They can also both fit most hair types, but evaluate which is better for your particular head of hair beforehand.

Wavy and curly hair is best for both haircuts. Hair with more texture will do a better job of defining the layers, creating a fuller appearance. That does not mean you cannot do one of the cuts with straight hair, but do your research first.

If you are a carefree renegade and want your hair to express your personality while looking effortlessly perfect, you might consider the wolf cut vs. shag haircut.

Wolf cuts create a voluminous, edgy look while framing your face and keeping a sleek look in the back. Shag cuts create 360 degrees of fullness and a retro appearance.

The post Wolf Cut Vs. Shag Cut Debate | Which One Is Better? appeared first on Hairstyle Camp.

It doesn’t require tremendous effort to style shag cuts if your hair is straight. You can get a unique look with a tousle and a messy touch.

Best Shag Haircuts for Straight Hair

Because it has multiple layers, a shag haircut will make your mane look more voluminous, less flat, and with much more dimension.

So if you want to sport something different and more trendy, shag haircuts for straight hair are the deal right now. 

1. Brown Shag With Bangs

A shag gives straight and flat hair more volume by creating loads of layers that fall over the other. They are great for long hair that lacks dimension and shape.

Get bangs that are longer at the corners and have an arched line. Start building the layers near the shoulder line. 

2. Short Blonde Shag

Shag hairstyles work great on short straight hair. If you have a round face, asymmetric bangs will help you cut off the roundness. The lateral hair must be a few inches longer than the fringe. Imagine it like a diagonal cut from the temples to the nape hair. 

3. Shaggy Bob

When your hair lacks volume, the best way to build it is with layers. To create more dimension, you can combine a long straight bob haircut with bangs and a shag. A light blonde ombre will be a great match if you have a fair skin tone.

4. Pixie Shag + Bleached Blonde

Pixie shag need no introduction since they can be adapted to suit all facial features.

They are low-maintenance and so easy to style, especially if you love messy looks that only need a tousle and some volumizing spray or product. Build lots of layers for the crown to obtain that hair-thickening effect and body.

5. Shag For Women Over 50

Women over 50 look stunning with a shag cut that is layered to suit straight hair.

Embrace your white threads and let them blend, creating a unique color and highlighted aspect. Build your layers low, over the shoulders, especially if your tresses are very long. Use a round brush to lift the ends upwards. 

6. Pixie Shag With A Bob

A pixie bob hairstyle will look fabulous if you choose an auburn color and blonde and mahogany highlights and lowlights.

By layering your strands, lifting the ends, and creating some spikes, your crown hair will gain all the volume you want. 

7. Shaggy Layers for Round Faces

When you have a round or chubby face, the best hairstyle is one that makes your face elongated and beautifully frames it.  Asymmetry is another important feature you must create to cut off those prominent cheekbones and jawlines.

Start building those layers with the bangs and continue with strands on the sides.

8. Glammy Red Carpet 

Having fine and way too silky hair is a problem many women encounter because it lays flat and can’t hold a curl.

So even if you are building loose waves, you will need texturizing and volumizing sprays before you use the iron or Dyson. 

9. Long Blonde Shag

This is the classical long shag hairstyle that features bangs, and layers around the sides and edges. It gives more volume to the crown area, while the other tresses from the lower back and side provide length. Bangs are cut in a straight line, covering the eyebrows. 

10. Hairstyle For Latinas

When you have a great hair length, you have immense possibilities for building those layers. Start by getting straight bangs, and chop the sides and crown to create dimension. However, do not reduce the length because we aim to build more volume on flat straight hair. 

11. Short Bangs

Short bangs are not for everybody, so before you make such a dramatic change, you must ensure that the new trim suits your face shape.

If you’re going for a cut that is one inch or two above the eyebrows, make sure your face is not heart-shaped or square. 

12. Messy and Colorful

Shaggy hairstyles look fabulous, especially if you transform your hair into a canvas where electric nuances and shades can be stunningly blended.

Opt for a bob haircut with chopped layers and long bangs that you’ll swipe to the side. Apply the colors only in the crown area. 

Shaggy hairstyles are ideal cuts for women with straight hair that want to boost their self-confidence and sport a new look that gives their hair much more volume.

It doesn’t matter the length of your hair, shags are perfect for anyone who is not afraid to go for a choppy hairdo and a dramatic cut. Let us know which of the hairstyles you lived and which is the next trim you’ll get.

The post 12 Head-Turning Shag Haircuts for Straight Hair appeared first on Hairstyle Camp.

Oftentimes they incorporate a thick and shaggy fringe that emphasizes the top-heaviness of this look while the ends are thinned by layers. Thinking a shag might be for you? Let’s peek at the 70 best styles out there!

Long Shag Haircuts

Below are 70 different inspirational styles. Your best shag look is simply waiting for you to discover. 

1. Long Messy Shag with Bangs

Shags really come to life with a fringe. We personally love thick bangs that frame the face and emphasize the proportions of a long shag.

If you have a small or round face shape, try cutting your fringe above the eyebrows to open up your face against all that hair. Otherwise, wispy or center part styles will do.

2. Layered Shag with Balayage Highlights

Shag hairstyles are defined by lots of gorgeous layers. Your stylist should know how to create this look, but you may want to consider highlights to enhance the dimensional effect of the layers. Balayage highlights are perfect for a natural, richly textured look.

3. Long Shag for Fine Wavy Hair

Long shags are actually the perfect style if your hair is fine with the wave and you want to wear it long.

Typically, fine hair becomes stringy as it grows long, even if your texture is wavy, but shag styles are cut in this way on purpose. Adding bangs will give your fine hair shag the illusion of fullness.

4. Long Thick Messy Shag 

Thick hair does especially well in a long shag hairstyle. Shag styles use layers to take out the bulk on the lower half of the hair, which is perfect for thick hair types.

Not only do long shags look amazing on thick hair, but by reducing bulk you’ll be reducing weight. Wearing a ponytail will be more comfortable for longer periods of time as well.

5. Curly Shag with Bangs

Curly hair looks artful and creative when cut into a long shag, especially if you incorporate a curly fringe! When you take on a special look like this one, you will also prevent your curly hair from overpowering your look.

6. Long Thick Wavy Shaggy Hair

Wavy hair is one of the best hair textures to have for creating a long shag hairstyle. Hair might be thinner at the bottom half of the hair, but wavy texture gives a long shag gorgeous body. A center part fringe is perfect for topping off this look.

7. Long Straight Shag

Even straight hair can embody a beautiful long shag look. This look is actually rather modern when compared to a curly or wavy shag. The layers that define a shag will give straight hair lots of dimension and added style.

8. Long Shag Haircut For Fine Hair

Fine hair is actually a great texture for a long shag haircut. Fine hair can lose any shape or body as it grows long, but a shag uses layers to create interest and dimension. Create a heavy, center part shag to frame your face and you’re good to go.

9. Messy Long Shag 

Shag cuts create texture by definition, but extra texture never hurt anyone! Curly or ultra wavy hair looks sexy in a messy, long shag cut. Don’t worry about creating a perfect look here. In fact, the more you let your bedhead texture run free, the better.

10. Long Shaggy Hair for Round Face

Let your long shag hairstyle work for you. A round face can look beautiful with a shag hairstyle. Thick bangs frame your face while the heavy texture created by the length of the shag helps to define a soft jawline.

11. Long Shag for Oval Face

Babes with oval faces can essentially choose any hairstyle they desire. Symmetry defines this face shape and looks great when sporting a long shag. Features remain perfectly balanced underneath the weight of a heavy fringe and ample layered texture.

12. Long Shaggy Wispy Haircut

Long shags usually have center part bangs, but wispy bangs are a unique surprise. If you’ve got a long or symmetrical face shape, you can cover your forehead without any worry. Enjoy the framing effect provided by a set of wispy bangs or easily create a center part if the mood strikes.

13. Shag with Choppy Bangs

Dance to the beat of your own drum and make your long shag your own with short, choppy bangs. As you can see, a funky fringe like this one works on wavy or curly hair. A choppy fringe can be short or long, so deciding on which length is best for you will come down to your face shape.

14. Long Blonde Shag

You don’t often see blonde shags, which is why we love the look so much! Long shags look extra special in sandy or sunny blonde hues. They are also the perfect style for long blonde hair that has lost volume due to over-styling and breakage.

15. Long Shaggy Hair with Glasses

These days, shags are often worn by hipsters and punk lovers alike. If you already wear glasses or want to add them to your look as an accessory, you’re sure to give off an artsy, Brooklyn vibe. Thick frames are best so they don’t get lost under the heavy layers of a long shag.

16. Long Shag Haircut for Women Over 50

How to Get Long Shaggy Layer?

There is no single method for cutting long shaggy layers. Fortunately, you can even trim and manage your long shaggy locks at home all by yourself.

Cut in Layers with Even Sections

This is one way of cutting women’s long shag layers. Before proceeding to cut your hair, dampen them and remove any knots and tangles. Now divide your hair into the section as follows:

• Part the hair from the center; from the forehead all the way back.
• Now you will make two horizontal sections. For the first section part your hair horizontally from the top of your ears. Other section will part with level to the base of your ears.
• Now you need to secure these sections with a large hair clip.
• The right and left sections should be aligned horizontally and vertically.

Now create a guide from the top section. Take a small segment of your hair right at your forehead and cut it to the length you desire. This is your First Travelling Guide. This will determine the length of your hair, so you don’t need to cut it very short in the beginning.

Long Angled Bob Hairstyles

Hold the traveling guide in your middle and forefinger and slide your fingers pulling the hair at 90 degrees till you reach the cut end. Trim off the excess hair. You will keep on cutting segment after segment of hair like this. The segment you just cut becomes the traveling guide for the next segment. Continue cutting like this till you’ve cut the whole section.

Check the whole section and cut off any uneven hair. Pull the hair in multiple directions with varying angles to ensure that the length is even. Move onto the next section and cut hair segment after segment till you’re done.

Cutting Shaggy Layers with Stationary Guide

Wet your hair and make sure there are no tangles. Proceed to cut the stationary guide that you will use to cut your long shag hairstyle. This way cutting women’s long shag results in layers of varying lengths.

Take a small segment of hair at the top of your head and cut it to your desired length. Don’t cut too short. If the overall length is too long for you, you can cut again reducing an inch or two from the length. Now use this as a guide by sliding hair segments between fingers at 180 degrees till you reach the length of the stationary guide. Trim off the excess hair. To give an even look to your long shag haircut, cut hair segments alternating between left and right side.

Cutting your hair in ponytail

Wet and untangle your hair and bend over to bring all your hair to the front. Secure your hair into a ponytail at the base of your forehead. Still remaining bend at your waist, slide your rubber band toward the end of your hair. Stop when you have reached the desired length.

Now secure the rubber band and ponytail in your hand firmly and stand up straight. Make sure you don’t shift the position of your head or ponytail. Now grab a pair of sharp scissors and cut your hair just below the rubber band. This is by far the easiest way to get a long shag haircut on your own.

Teenagers love it so much as it displays a confident persona.  Shaggy hairstyle has been a popular choice among men and women not because it looks glamorous and cool, but also for its low maintenance.

A shag cut was first created by a barber named, “Paul McGregor”. This hairstyle is achieved by layering the hair at 90-degree angles.

The shaggy hair look works best on boys with medium-length hair with medium to thick density and longer face shapes.

The width on the sides of this shaggy haircut will widen the sides of the face and minimize the length. If you have a wider face shape, it is best to keep the sides short and closer to the head.
