The Long Razor Cut Shag
@melanie.s.stylist
“This is a modern longer shag meets Brigitte Bardow haircut,” says master hairstylist Melanie Stipdonk of Kelowna, BC.
“What I love most about this layered razor cut, and razored shags in general, are all the cute and sexy bits that are carved and personalized around the face,” she adds.
This shaggy long hairstyle will look great in an easy, swept-up messy bun with all the fringe left out.
Long shag hairstyles are very versatile and can be worn with natural, air-dried texture, or blown out with volume in the crown and curled with an iron.
The best products to use for a natural air-dry are a saltwater spray for gritty, bodifying texture, and a curl cream through the ends.
For blow-drying and hot tools, use volumizers at the roots and heat protectors for the mid-lengths and shaggy ends.

Long Razored Shag with Baby Bangs
@erin_nelson_doh_
Look at this long razored shag with baby bangs—marvelous! It radiates a playful style, which is fun to wear. This long shag hairstyle isn’t complete without the bangs. A micro fringe goes well with it, for sure! For stunners who want an edgy but soft and modern look, this shag hairstyle with bangs is worth trying!
This long razored shag with baby bangs was created by hair stylist and salon owner Erin Nelson of Chicago, IL. “This hair cut rides the fine line between a shag and a shullet, leaning towards being more of a shag,” explains Nelson.
A Shullet is a hybrid of a mullet and a shag that leans towards being more of a mullet. There is a pretty big spectrum of shags out there, the options are endless!
Less is more with styling this razored shag with bangs. Use products that are made with no synthetic ingredients or toxins and also cruelty free. Try Organic Chemistry Curl Cream and Afterword Organics Texture Spray. Apply the curl cream to towel dried hair from mids to ends first. Then all the way through to the top.
Use texture spray in the root area, in the crown, and into the bangs. Then, using your hands, gather and scrunch the hair into the shape you want to see. Finally, diffuse the hair low and slow. A good shag should only need 2 haircuts a year with a couple clean ups in between and or just bang trims as needed,” adds Nelson.
