If you're constantly struggling to find the right shape for your curly hair, there's good news: a curly shag hairstyle is pretty much the best fit for this hair type. The essential components of the shag are short layers at the crown, choppy ends, volume and texture.

Consequently, curly, shaggy hair has just enough body right where it's needed, as well as enough natural texture, not to mention the fact that it's one of the hottest trends.

The curly shag, originating from the 1970s, is currently experiencing a revival. The modern reincarnation of this style has less contrast between the top and back lengths and takes advantage of cutting edge cutting techniques such as razor blades. Naturally curly, wavy and permed hair provides a perfect base for this look.

Although shag cut is the best choice for curly hair, there is no 'one fits all' option when it comes to the shape of a hairstyle. That's why we've collected a few main versions of the latest shag hairstyles to choose the best one for you.
