Long shag hairstyles are characterized by layers that begin around the face and systematically remove bulky portions of the hair as you move down the hair’s length.

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

Center parts are most common on shag styles with bangs, but a longer fringe can actually be versatile when flipped to one side. This softening effect feels extra seamless on solid black hair. 

22. Electric Mint 

This sexy, cool-girl hair looks extra badass in an electric bluish green hue. An ombre effect not only adds to your vibe but helps the style feel natural and grounded. 

23. Coarse, Thick Hair

Thick, coarse hair can be a blessing and a curse, so let this long shag haircut for round face work for you. Create a lusciously thick and choppy fringe and let the thinning layers work their magic on your mane.

24. Loose Waterfall Braid 

This easy-breezy braid is for the days when you want your shag hair to feel special. The longer your hair, the looser and spaced out your waterfall braid should be. Add salt spray to beachy waves and this romantic style is complete.

25. 80s Ponytail 

Shags rose to the height of their fame in the 80s, so it’s only natural you’d create a bubbly 80s ponytail. For this up-do, your ponytail should sit upright at the top of the back of the head. Bangs should be lifted and pulled back in a pompadour style. 

26. Shag for Thin Hair

A lot of layers only work on a shag when they are concentrated around your scalp. This look is the ideal long shag haircut for thin hair because it makes the longer portion of hair feel intentionally thin while looking extra hipster, to boot.
