Hairstyle Insight
The curly shag with bangs was a massive trend in the late 70s and 80s, and its revival is part of the larger movement towards embracing and celebrating natural hair texture.
Key Benefits
Maximizes natural curl volume.
Releases the natural shape of curls.
An edgy, confident, and stylish look.

The fringe frames the face beautifully.
Common Misconceptions
That a shag will make curly hair frizzy.
How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "voluminous shag haircut with a fringe, specifically cut for my curly hair." For color, ask for a natural, "soft black" (level 2, not a harsh level 1).
Tools:
Choosing Products
A hydrating curl cream with shea butter; a strong-hold gel with flaxseed; a diffuser.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
This is an air-dry style.
On soaking wet hair, apply a generous amount of curl cream and gel.
Scrunch well with a microfiber towel.
Use a diffuser to dry the roots for extra volume.
Caring for your hair
High maintenance for shape, but low maintenance for daily styling.
The shag requires trims every 6-8 weeks to keep the layers working. The color is easy to maintain.

Is a shag good for curly hair?
