Wavy shag cut for extra volume
If you're looking for a bold yet low-maintenance hairstyle for your wavy hair, try a medium-length shag cut combined with side bangs. This haircut is perfect for mature women who don't have time for elaborate hairstyles because it is easy to style and execute. Side bangs add coverage and a flattering frame to the face.
Side parting instead of bangs
Although bangs combine wonderfully with all shaggy hairstyles, they simply don't suit every woman. Side-parted shaggy hair, on the other hand, is perfect for a modern and bold look with any hair texture. If you are a woman over 40, a shag cut with a side part looks great because it frames your face and adds volume in all the right places.
Shag cut for the long mane
At 40, you can still wear your long hair without worrying about things like age! How about a shaggy hairstyle, for example?
Layered V haircut
If you have thick hair, this haircut will remove all the extra weight while adding texture and shape to your hairstyle. Ask your stylist to add several messy, textured fringe and layers to frame your face. A V-shaped cut is actually just a series of layers that frame the face when the hair is brought forward, but it appears in a "V" shape when the hair is pushed all the way back.
Feathered Layers – the perfect shaggy hairstyle for long hair
A shag cut simply layers hair to create volume while maintaining length. Feathered layers on a shaggy haircut relate to how it is styled. If you style the layers back in a feathery style, they will appear more wispy and often fuller. The result – a beautiful haircut that flatters your face wonderfully.
